Dr Barnett and his team did fantastic job after a different ENT left me high and dry! Would recommend him to everyone wanting to breath better or just looking for cosmetics. An absolute stud! Thankyou again.

Unfortunately, only 1/2 half my neck turned out okay the other sagged immediately after surgery. Yes, they wanted to schedule me again very soon after but the cost again plus anesthesia should not have been on me, I had saved 2 yrs to have this done and very very disappointed. I wasted $8000 and left side still sagging how awful. I feel he should have redone it and provided the anesthesia too. But no! I do not and cannot recommend this. Who has $8000 to waste of something happens and it didn’t work?

Dr. Barnett is truly extraordinarily outstanding with his expertise and results in facial surgery! I had a deep plane neck and face lift 8 weeks ago and I cannot be happier with my natural looking results.. He came highly recommended by several in the medical field and I have, and will continue to recommend him to others. He instills absolute confidence and trust in him, and his staff is also as kind, and caring as him. Wonderful experience!

Dr.Barnett is the most patient and wonderful doctor you will ever meet. I cannot say enough good things about him. He is kind and has the most amazing patient-centered care I have ever experienced. He listened to all my concerns and offered me genuine expert recommendations. He changed my life and my only regret is that I did not go to see him sooner. Dr.Barnett performed a septorhinoplasty to correct an extremely deviated septum and crooked nose tip from a 20+ year trauma. My breathing improvement has been life altering and I will forever be grateful. I trust him and can’t wait to continue on my self improvement journey. I will never go see a different plastic surgeon. I also want to thank Diana, his office manager. She is sweet and kind, and very pleasant regardless of the 100s of calls and questions I made. Thank you both so much! The photo is before and one week post op. edit: I just saw the large amount of views so I decided to post some follow up pics of the beautiful work Dr. Barnett did. My surgery was 12/27/23 and the pics added below are from 3/12/24

I had an absolutely stellar experience with Dr. Barnett. I am a little over a month post-op from a septorhinoplasty and am convinced I have had one of the best results and recoveries that one can have, thanks to the amazing skill and care of Dr. Barnett. Overall, 10/10. For those unsure about proceeding with rhinoplasty, let me clue you in on my experience and scream from the rooftops to 1)trust the process and 2) go see Dr. Barnett. During my consultation, I was blown away by Dr. Barnett’s knowledge and kind demeanor (dare I say he is one of the kindest people I have ever met). Dr. Barnett approached my case with enthusiasm and confidence. Honestly, he made me more excited to proceed forward. I was initially apprehensive about undergoing the procedure. Committing to this procedure was not a decision I made lightly; it took me four years to finally take the plunge. Dr. Barnett instilled the confidence I needed to feel comfortable taking this next step, and I am incredibly grateful that I did. And the recovery – Y’all, I am the biggest wimp (I bruise easily and will cry from a paper cut), BUT the recovery was a breeze. I followed the pre-op and post-op instructions closely and had such an amazing post-op experience (trust the process). Then the result — Just absolutely yes. The day before I got my stints and cast off, the swelling within my nostrils had gone down, and I was able to fully breathe out of my nose – I was happy with the airflow. THEN, the next morning when I got the cast and stints out, I could breathe so well that I felt like I was seeing the colors of the wind. When I got in the car to go back home, I started to cry - I didn’t realize how long I had been compromising on my breathing. Now, as I write this 5 weeks post-op, I am so incredibly pleased with the way my nose looks and feels. The symmetry, the profile, and the cute button -- my nose is finally perfect (*chefs kiss*). Simply put, Dr. Barnett changed my life. Thank you, Dr. Barnett, and your amazing team for providing exemplary care at the highest standard.

I genuinely wish I could give 5 stars to Dr. Barnett. Instead, I'm struggling to give him 2 stars. He hid the stitches well which is why he is getting 2...

I'm sorry they dropped my review off. I saw Dr. Barnett in 2002-2003. He was 2 hours late for my surgery. He gave me too much chin. He pulled my forehead so...
