Patients appreciate his compassionate bedside manner, describing him as kind, patient, polite, and empathetic. Many note his ability to explain medical information clearly in terms they can understand, and several mention his skill in asking relevant questions to fully understand their concerns.

Patients also share

Very few areas for improvement emerge from the reviews. One patient noted that Dr. Barnard doesn't always proactively address solutions to all issues brought up unless specifically asked, suggesting a preference for more initiative in offering treatment options. However, this appears to be an isolated comment among the extensive positive feedback.
