My dad has alzheimers. He had fallen and had a big, sore scab on his lip. Dr Barna pokes at it very harshly with his finger and asks "what happened here?" to which my dad almost jumped out of his wheelchair from the pain he caused. Then he goes to look in my dad's mouth and instead of asking him to open his mouth he just takes 2 popsicle sticks and forces them into his mouth, 1 directly over the bloody scab. It took me so aback i yelled at him to be more gentle. his response was "i AM being as gentle as possible under the circumstances", as if my dad having alzheimers was a problem for him. Completely uncaring, no empathy or concern for my dad's condition. I would NEVER recommend this quack to anyone.

This is the worse doctor I have ever visited, my appointment this morning at 9h 30 am and he let me wait for one hour, when he came in he is really rushing, try to finish in less than 5 mins, when I try to ask for more questions, he just ignored. Really rude and unprofessional doctor. He try to ask me to make another appoitment with him. Please dont make the same mistakes like me. This doctor should not be practiced anymore, all he care about is just patient's money.

Dr. Barna was very professional and caring. He diagnosed my ailment with the utmost care and concern and I haven't felt this well in a long time. Dr. Barna is an amazing physician.

This doctor has operated on both myself and my daughter. Have never had anything but the most positive experience and I trust Dr. Barna 100%. Great bedside manner and very caring.

Absolutely horrid experience. Overbooked, and over an hour and half wait to see Barna on each of my visits. His bedside manner is very unprofessional. He sees to many patients and I was just another cog in the wheel. He had me do a MRI on sinus cavity, allergy tests and still did not help my problem. On my last visit he slouched on the bench, and said well surgery might help. He didn't have a clue whether it would or wouldn't. I wouldn't trust this physician to any treatment and neither should you. Take my advice and seek out a superior ENT doc who can help you rather than take your money and waste your time!

Very positive experience with this doctor. I was afraid I had throat cancer and he really put my mind at ease. I have no medical insurance and he did not charge me a dime for my follow up visit.

Uncaring (except for receiving my payment) very poor diagnosis and followup from a man who cares about his Corvette more than his patients.

I could not recommend this dr., he was very abrupt, didn't seem interested in my symptoms, ordered a cat scan, briefly spoke with me on a return visit..did not take the time to explain results...just said everything is normal...will not go back to this dr.
