Love him. Staff is friendly efficient. He did surgery on me. Took excellent care of me and my family in post operative care.

PLEASE READ BEFORE GOING HERE. I don't usually leave reviews, but Dr.Barnes was SO AWFUL I truly need to make sure no one goes here. I am posting on behalf of someone who is afraid of retaliation from the office. I came in with a recommendation from a GI to get an ultrasound after I got a colonoscopy. When I went in to tell him this, he dismissed my concerns, saying that "this is just a woman's problem" which, by the way, I remind you that this was a gynecologist. When I asked for an ultrasound, he claimed that since he didn't see any reason to do it and so he wouldn't bill my insurance. This is despite the fact that I came in on a recommendation from another doctor. I insisted it be done, even without my insurance paying for it, because I have been having so much pain. After doing it, he DID actually find that there was an issue, and had no clue what to do. So not only is this doctor a jerk, he is also incompetent. He literally said "I don't know who I could recommend you to for this. I could recommend you to a gynecologist but that's me." So basically, he doesn't know how to do his job. Afterwards, I asked, so then can you bill my insurance now because clearly there was a reason to do it and there's something wrong with my body. He told me "No, I already sent the bill, I will not bill your insurance." Despite being wrong, he still wasn't willing to account for his mistakes and demanded I pay him out of pocket. So now I'm paying for this incompetent doctor out of pocket when really I shouldn't be. By the way, when I called initially, I asked to see a female gynecologist. The office couldn't even do that for me (do they even have a female gynecologist? and if they don't why didn't they tell me?), and now I'm frustrated that I saw Dr.Barnes who DISMISSED my concerns, was completely INCOMPETENT, and is OVERCHARGING me because he was too lazy to bill my insurance. DO NOT GO HERE.

I met with Dr. Barnes for a consultation to consider him as my provider for my second pregnancy. I assumed the 15 minute consultation would be free of charge (considering I used so little of his in-office time, I did not use any of the nurses' time - no weight, blood pressure, urine, nothing; & because I was not told there would be a charge for such a visit when I made the appointment). I received a bill for $100 for the 15 minutes I was in his office - which equates to a billing rate of $400 per hour. After my insurance "adjusted" the amount, I was still forced to pay $68.81 for 15 minutes of his time - an hourly rate of $275.24 (or my "account" would be sent to collections - I spoke to his billing office several times over a few months). ZipRecruiter shows the national average pay for an OBGYN in 2019 at $114 per hour, with the HIGHEST paid OBGYNs in the country still making only $164 per hour. Dr. Barnes charged me 1.6 times the highest rates charged in the country to speak to him for 15 minutes.

Love Dr. Barnes! Truly an amazing doctor. Took care of me during my 2nd pregnancy and so glad he did. I had gestational diabetes and he went above and beyond to remain my doctor knowing how important it was to me. I'd highly recommend him to anyone!!

Dr. Barnes is the best around. Although it takes a while to be seen, this is mostly given to the fact that he is loyal to his patients who may be recovering from surgery, in process of giving birth, etc. Any concerns I have had, Dr. Barnes answers (honestly and straight to the point) using his education and 20+ years of experience. If you're looking for a doctor to sugar-coat things, he's not going to be your best choice. If you're looking for a dedicated and hard-working doc, Barnes is your guy

Disappointed. I was 5 weeks pregnant and was told to come in for sonogram and blood work, because I was experiencing bleeding. We did Sono and no baby. Dr. Barnes handled the situation very poorly and rudely. He didn't address any concerns I had or even talk to me about handling the miscarriage. He simply told the nurse to have me take a pregnancy test and if it was negative to send me home. Considering this was my first pregnancy it was a pretty terrible experience leaving with no information.

I went to the ER with abdominal pain, needed emergency gyn surgery. I was a patient of Dr Kehl in the past, who is one of the Doctors in this practice. Dr Barnes was on call, and refused to accept me as a patient. A doctor I didn't know from another practice was called in to do my surgery. I will never use this group again. The doctor who did my surgery will be the doctor for me and my family.
