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.

Mr. Barney is great I really trust him and his practice.

Disappointing Patient Service
I am disappointed by the lack of customer service and empathy I received after a call with my doctor today. I went in after an allergic reaction, needing to get a new prescription for an Epi-Pen last week. A week later, turns out that the prescription the doctor gave to me was a child dose (I am an adult). I called the office to just talk about this circumstance and get some accountability since I was wrongly prescribed and out $330. I was told by the lady on the phone at the office,'Oh, you would just use the two child doses' w/ no sorry or explanation. For anyone with an epi-pen, using both child doses for one occurrence can be very scary, as sometimes you need two adult doses for 1 allergic reaction. I explained that I was disappointed in their response and they then tried to pin it on the pharmacy not telling me it was a child's dose. There was no customer service, empathy or work to figure out what they can do for me (rebate, epi-pen sample). I'm out $600 for a new prescription.

I have seen Dave for several years. He is very attentive and actually listen to what you have to say. I am so happy that I found such a great medical professional in our area. He is extremely knowledgeable, well versed on multiple areas of practice, and stays current on new technology, treatments, methods, etc. He actually spends time speaking with you during your appointment; getting to know you and understanding what may be ailing you so that he can determine the best course of treatment. I would (and do) recommend Dave to my friends and family without hesitation.

Dr David Barney is a wonderful, caring, compassion, amazing, professional, awesome, and down to earth "Doctor" I realize his title is PAC but he is a Doctor to my husband and myself. He does eveyrthing a medical Doctor does and then some. I have seen many Doctors in my time and I have to say Dr Barney is the top of the line. We are so blessed to have him for our Medical Care. He definitely knows what he is doing. He has bed side manners, he listens to you and knows how to take care of you. A+

David Barney is an absolute awesome Dr. and was the only one who helped me when I was given a flu shot by a different Dr. office who messed up and hit nerves in my shoulder causing pain for almost two years. David was the ONLY person who took me serious and looked into treatments and made the pain all go away. I am able to live a completely normal life now. when life gets me down he is like that good friend you can count on to bring you back up! Thank you David and staff for all your support!

Dr. Barney is amazing! I have been having knee issues for quite some time. I was going to a pain clinic where all they wanted to do was keep upping my dose of pain meds. That is not the direction I wanted to go in. I went to Dr. Barney, he ordered an MRI, put me on Prednisone for the swelling, adjusted my meds. He did more in 1 visit than the pain clinic did in 2 yrs! He is patient, kind, and more importantly genuine. I absolutely would recommend him!!
