This lady has to be the most judgemental doctor i have ever having the displeasure of meeting everything was fine at first i told her about some of the side affects i was experiencing and she told me i was wrong and could not be experiencing any of them when im pretty sure i know my own body if you disagree with her opinion she becomes very rude this doctor seems to only care about money hey how's everything here are your pills and goodbye hands down worse doctor i have ever been to i will say the ladies at the front are very nice and the older one is pretty cute ;) but in all seriousness save yourself the stress and agony of meeting this beast of a woman and find another doctor

Dr. Barnett is not a good psychiatrist. She is very condensending to her patients and makes you feel like your are lying. She told me to stop taking my anti-depressent "cold turkey" since it was a "relatively low dose." I had been on the anti-depressant for over 6 years and going off of it so quickly contributed to me having an absolute meltdown. I was not able to go to work and I had a high ranking/high paying director level job. I ended up leaving it because I was having so much anxiety. I told Dr. Barnett before I left my job how much anxiety I was feeling and she acted like I was making it up. She told me just to go back on the anti-depressant and I should be okay and that was definitely not the case. This advice contributed to many hardships to get through that lasted over a year. Since then I have slowly gotten better and went to another psychiatrist and got much better advice and a medication that is much more appropriate for me. I am now doing very well happy and living without anxiety but it took me a long time to get here after the bad advice I received from Dr. Barnett. My advice do not go to see Dr. Barnett she most likely will do more harm to your life than good. I actually was very close to pressing legal charges against her but did not want to go through the pain as my lawyer said it could be hard to prove even though I had been told by other doctors they would have not ever had told their patients to do what Dr. Barnett had told me to do. If I could have given a 0 (zero) instead of a 1 for this doctor I would have.
