Best dermatologist by far. He actually listens and cares; he is there to help. On another visit, he listened to my concern that other doctors dismissed them and said nothing was wrong. Dr Barnard did not agree with them and checked what I was concerned about; he agreed it was not normal, ordered a biopsy, and it was basal cell carcinoma. He is wonderful. Other dermatologists were just treating my skin cancer; he is actually trying to cure it so it doesn't come back, as well as my skin itchiness. Love this doctor

Probably one of the best doctors I've had in dermatology! He listens to my concerns and is able to determine a diagnosis! Very calm and considerate! Can't say enough of good things about him!
