I recently had a medical issue and other doctors pushed me off or treated me as a cookie cutter patient, which I dislike, but Dr Barker listened and was on my side helping me seek answers from doctors who listen. He was like my own personal cheering squad. While the others made me feel like I was crazy..Dr Barker knew I wasn't. I would not trade him as my doctor ANYTHING.

Will randomly put you on narcotics as a quick fix for undiagnosed pain instead of referring you to a specialist, up you to stronger dose and keep you on for a year and a half to two years, then randomly just not fill it one day and when you call and ask what's going on his way of communicating with you is having his rude receptionist say "Dr Barker would like to keep his license" as if that has anything to do with you. You then get to detox off a script HE PUT YOU ON cold turkey without any warning and when all is said and done you get certified mail at your door that you are no longer his patient. Thought I was the only one, and that there was a huge misunderstanding but I've heard of this happening with Dr. Barker to 4 other people now over the years and I need to say something. This isn't how you treat your patients. And even if you do suspect addiction issues you DO NOT randomly choose to not fill their scheduled script and boot them with no explanation. You at the very least wean the prescription or send them to addiction counseling if you don't want to deal with them anymore. Dr. Barker was my first lesson in how medical professionals look at you like a number despite seeing you for years. He saw me since I was five years old and didn't bat at eye at doing this. He never spoke to me personally whatsoever when he dropped me as a patient, he hid behind his receptionist. I didn't have addiction issues before seeing Dr. Barker, but I did after and it took me years to recover. I can't help but think what could have been different if he wouldn't have gotten exasperated after sending me to one specialist without answers, trying weaker drugs first, or at the very least, weaning me off the NORCOS and eventually upped to OXYS he STARTED me on at 120 A MONTH 10 mgs. THATS 4 A DAY PEOPLE!!! He completely changed the trajectory of my life and all I did was take his prescription as directed until he cut them off without warning and didn't help me whatsoever. I know he will never read this, nor does he care but I'm not the only person he has hurt by operating like this.

Will randomly put you on narcotics as a quick fix for chronic pain issues instead of referring you to a specialist, up you to stronger dose and keep you on for a year and a half to two years, then randomly just not fill it one day and when you call and ask what's going on his way of communicating with you is having his b*tch of a receptionist say "dr barker would like to keep his license" as if that has anything to do with you. You then get to detox off a script HE PUT YOU ON cold turkey without any warning and when all is said and done you get certified mail at your door that you are no longer his patient.

The Best family physician ever... very caring

My husband LOVES Dr Barker. He is very knowledgable and not pushy to try to put him on all kinds of junky medication. Great doc!!!

Dr. Barker is the best. Only doc I've ever had that takes the time to listen to your issues and actually cares. He's professional but makes it seem like a friend is treating you. Highly recommend.

I have been seeing Dr. Barker from almost the beginning, i was one of his first patients. Dr. Barker is amazing! I travel all the way from Grosse Pointe to Chesterfield just to see him. He is full of knowledge and has a great sense of humor and a fun personality. I keep tell Dr. Barker that I deserve a parking spot at his office because I was one of his firsts!

Dr. Barker is very knowledgeable. He asks questions, and the LISTENS. I feel very confident that he is acting in MY best interest. It's like having a brother or uncle as your GP - he has earned my trust and respect.

Dr Barker is a constant professional and always willing to work with our family showing understanding of all our issues!

Dr. Barker has that ability to put you at ease. He actually listens! I would recommend him to anyone looking for a good family medicine doctor.

I have been seeing Dr. Barker since the day he started at the Henry Ford office in Chesterfield, MI. I would not see any other doctor because he provides every bit of care that I need in such a professional and caring manner. I see Dr Barker for everything as if my life depended on it, because it does. I highly recommend him for any and all health issues. I would not trade him for the world!

Dr Barker is a kind, gentle man. He always listens to your concerns and always has the best fix!

Always goes above and beyond with this time and recommendations. Really has been a help to my wife and I being just a phone call away and caring.

Many years ago Dealing with both my parents being very sick ,my mom was terminal. He discreetly took me into the hallway and asked me how I was doing that I couldn't believe that he cared so much. In almost 20 years that I've known him he has consistently listened and cared about my well-being and my family.

Best doctor ever, I live an hour away now and still refuse to change my doctor.....

Very personable and knowledgeable. Trust him with all my health needs.

Dr. Barker takes the time to answer all of your questions.

I love him and most of the staff!!! He is a great doctor and I don't consider ever changing until I die. They just don't come any better!!!

Dr. Barker is the most caring and understanding doctor we have ever been to. He spends time really listening to you and I know that if I am waiting to see him, he is spending time with others just as he would for me. He takes care of our issues every time and always has time to answer questions online or on the phone.
