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.

True professional, best in the business, i would not use anyone other than Dr. Barnthouse.

A Plastic Surgeon you can trust!
I have had several surgeries over 18 years from Dr. Barnthouse. He will be very honest about the results you will get. He will not do anything that could affect your overall health in a negative way. I love how natural I look, no one knows anything has changed. I hear, you look so fresh, or there is something about you that looks better. I love the way I feel that I can age gracefully with Dr. Barnthouse's help.

Thank you Dr. Barnthouse
From the beginning to where we are now in the post surgical phase, he is thorough, pays attention to you, and answers your questions. He explains what he’s doing and why. He makes sure you are okay and if something was wrong I feel like he would help me. Very professional. And his office staff is also very helpful and friendly.

Excellent bedside manner and very caring Doctor
Dr. Barnthouse was through in his initial office visit, pre-surgery visit and post surgery. He kept me informed and showed concern for any questions I posed. I would highly recommend him and will go back to him if I have need of the services he provides.

Dr. Barnthouse was thorough in explaining my upcoming procedure and the options available to me. Wendy worked very hard to get me scheduled as I live out of town and need to get this done soon. The whole staff is so wonderful.

One of the best decisions I’ve made was choosing Dr. Barnthouse. I researched, prayed about it and made an appointment for a consultation - and just knew I could trust him with my body. He does wonderful work and it was life changing for me. No regrets.

Dr. Barnthouse has gone above and beyond in his treatment of me both before and after surgery. He’s definitely one of the kindest, most conscientious doctors I’ve ever seen. His office staff mirrors this, and they are all awesome!

Excellent bedside manner, kind staff, very meticulous and thorough. I got a breast reduction 2 weeks ago and have been dealing with complications due to a hematoma (I reached out too far the day of surgery and popped something). This complication is not common, but it's not detrimental, just a bit of a pain to deal with. I have had to go to Dr. B's office M-F of last week and MWF of this week to monitor it. Dr. B has been kind, communicative, and super thorough in fixing the issue and monitoring my recovery. He has answered absolutely every question I have had and I feel very much involved and in the loop as to what is happening. Adrienne and Wendy are super sweet and the whole staff is very personable and has made me feel comfortable despite the uncomfortable circumstances. I have yet to see my final results, but I can already tell I'm satisfied with the symmetry and construction of my new boobs. Highly recommend.

Dr. Barnthouse is A1. Don’t even waste your time looking around. Very thorough and talented surgeon. I am very satisfied with my results and glad I made the decision to trust him to revise a problem area that’s bothered me for years. If you want the best, book with Dr. Barnthouse. I highly recommend! :)

My experiences with Dr Barnthouse have been excellent. He is always professional, knowledgeable, and highly skilled. He listens well and explains options and procedures well. He is kind and takes time in providing the best and most optimal care for a wonderful outcome. His office is immaculate and his staff are welcoming and helpful every step of the way. I appreciate the close connection that they all have which for me speaks volumes. I have recommended him to others, and every person that I have sent have been pleased as well. As a nurse in my career for over 40 years, I tend to be pickey. He has exceeded my expectations each and every time. He and his Staff are 5 stars plus more. M
