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.

I have been a patient of Dr. Barney’s for the past ten years, he has delivered 4 of my babies, he has performed one laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis on me, and I couldn’t be happier with my care from him and his awesome nurses, especially Carol. I always feel at home, cared for, my voice is heard, and he explains all options clearly and is very proactive in regards to my total health. I recently took my oldest two daughters for their first OB consultations and he made them feel at ease and they both had very positive experiences.

Dr. Barney was alway so supportive. He worked with me and maternal fetal medicine to ensure I had a healthy pregnancy. Then when the unimaginable happened and we lost one of our twins he was there to answer questions and supported my choice to deliver my baby girl early.

Great Dr. Listens and gives solutions.
Dr. Barney listens to you, seems to have a lot more knowledge about the things that were happening with me, than any of my previous Drs. He also offers many more solutions and explains why things are the way they are. I've been to 7 OBGYN's he just made me feel heard and comfortable, he's the first one to not imply I didn't know what I was talking about. Great Dr.

Dr. Barney did a wonderful job delivering my second baby. I wanted a natural birth with as few interruptions as possible and Dr. Barney respected that. He stepped in when it was time to start pushing. My baby got stuck while coming through the birth canal and Dr. Barney was able to very quickly correct it. He has a lot of experience and is very professional. I had an excellent experience with him and I would recommend him to all my friends and family.

Dr. Barney is very thorough at taking care of all of my health needs. I appreciate the time he takes to explain and educate to help me decide options that will be best for me and my health. His staff is so warm and friendly as well, which makes such a big difference for me. I also love that they have a blood draw lab right in their office. This is such a convenient and wonderful option for busy moms.

I recently switched to Dr. Barney as my lifetime OB left the practice. He made the transition very easy and SO comfortable. He is extremely nice, professional, and answered all my questions/concerns ans genuinely cared about my well-being. His nurse is also really nice! I moved to Provo and was going to have him refer me to someone down here, but now im not going to. Hes well worth the drive! 10/10 recommend! ??

Perfectly good new client appointment. Dr takes time to sit with you in the office and chat 1st, so you aren't doing all the conversing while in the exam room. Actually listens to your needs and gives you opportunity to bring up questions or suggestions before moving on to the next step. Took immediate action towards my concerns which was a huge relief. I look forward to returning to this clinic & hopefully remedying my long time issues!

This was my first visit to Dr. Barney. Since it was my first appointment with him, he listened to me in his office about my history and what I wanted to accomplish and we made a plan. He was insightful and shared things I didn’t realize and was very helpful. The exams were efficient and professional. I have a lot of anxiety with doctors (especially new ones) and I look forward to working with Dr. Barney.
