Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Amazing experience
Had upper & lower Blepharoplasty as well as some fat removal under chin. I believe I have beautiful results. I went from looking like a sleepless zombie to a well rested Woodland Fairy. I mean, I don’t have the wings, but I sure feel beautiful and confident now! I am already planning another procedure as well, which speaks louder than words. Dr. Barnett not only has incredible bedside manner, but he has a great sense of humor as well. This attitude allowed me to feel almost instantly comfortable. I haven’t even started talking about Dianna yet, the beautiful lady at the front that makes you feel like you just gained a new bff forever. If you aren’t sure, just pick up the phone and go for it. You will understand what I expressed here upon meeting Dr. Barnett and Dianna.

Dissatisfied
My daughter had surgery by Dr Barnett. The recovery was exponentially difficult and the cosmetic result was extremely poor. It is hard to imagine going through another surgery as Dr Barnett recommends. This doctor is overly kind which truly doesn’t compensate for his lack of skill. I am hopeful this can be repaired.

Dr. Barnett is knowledgeable, informative, caring, and compassionate. I have terrible needle anxiety and was nervous and skeptical that I could have a surgical procedure done while awake. From the consult, to the surgery, to post op visits, Dr Barnett made me feel at ease and confident in his care. I am happy with my results and impressed with the experience. If you are considering facial plastic surgery, do not hesitate to schedule an appointment with Dr. Barnett. He and his staff are simply the best!

Amazing Experience!
I could not be happier with my surgery! Dr Barnett is very detailed oriented and gave me all the attention I needed to feel confident having all my questions answered, I never felt rushed, he takes his time to explain and make sure you have your questions answered! He did the septum deviation correction and a few other things I needed to reconstruct + rhinoplasty! The post-surgery and the support they offer are amazing! And the best part.. I didn't have any bruises or swallow eyes.. I had my return today and everything looks great! Great doctor, great person, and great team!

He performed a septoplasty, turbinate reduction, and rhinoplasty. I am happy with all treatment. To have him in this area instead of a larger city is a gift!

I wrote a more extensive review on vitals.com. Dr Barnett performed my septo rhinoplasty revision after my first surgery had been a complete failure. I had an initial operation to fix a deviated septum. The surgery not only further obstructed my breathing, but also significantly altered the appearance of my face for the worse. It was an incredibly difficult year and a half looking at the mirror and not recognizing the person I saw looking back at me. After meeting with several other ENTs in search of another doctor to perform my revision, all told me they didn't have the confidence required to fix both the function and appearance of my nose. However each named Dr Barnett and explained that he was the 'go-to' surgeon in the region. Dr Barnett took a vested interest in making my situation right. The surgery went smoothly and the recovery was a night and day difference from before. He gave me my face back and fixed what was originally wrong. I can't thank him enough for his work.

Dr. Barnett is a perfectionist. I could not be happier with his work. I tell everyone he's a magician because he does miracle work. He exceeded my expectations.

I had a previous nose job, which I was not happy with, I could hardly breath, and was not happy at all with the outcome, being of the black race, most tend to have a wider nose, I was refered to Dr Barnett. From the time I stepped into his office, he treated me as if I had know him all my life, he was the best, he is friendly, has a wonderful smile, makes you feel at ease, and told me that he would take care of everything. I am so happy with my nose, I can breath & it looks wonderful.
