Does not listen to this patient. When you have a mental illness and you get confused, easy because of your mental illness, he doesn’t have the patience to listen to you and to give you time to explain yourself. He rushes you and hangs up on you. He doesn’t look at the information in front of him from the pharmacy to see that your prescriptions are filled for three months. When you complain about your prescriptions, causing you to sleep too much and not working for you he just tries to increase the dose as that’s gonna work for you better. And doesn’t want to change it to a different medication that might actually help you and work for you. He has no patience. He hangs up on his patients that he’s seen before. They’re even done with her actual visit. His bedside manner is none. If you were really needing help, I would not go see him I wouldn’t even take my animal to see him.

I love Dr. Barber, but the wait is always close to one and a half hour or more. It takes an act of Congress to get through by phone and calling you back is not an option. I just received a call from the hospital I was having surgery planned and I missed my pre-op appointment. Well NOBODY from Dr. Barber told me that I had an appointment.
