Andrew Barnett, MD

this person is an egomaniac and a liar.
he’ll treat you well if you ‘have money’ and appear to go along with his bs.
he is NOT the best surgeon in the bay area by any means, although he charges the MOST.
avoid him like the plague.
go see Dr. Kahn. he is the best and has THE most fair fees.

In March, I had a face lift performed by Dr. Andrew Barnett. In our pre-​op appointment, Dr. Barnett explained the procedure in detail, and he took «before» pictures of my face. He, then, showed me how my face would look after surgery using a computer program, which ended up being accurate. He assured me that I would wake up every morning feeling beautiful.
He has two offices– one in Walnut Creek and one in San Francisco. My surgery was performed at St. Francis Memorial Hospital in SF. I liked that I did not have any bandages after the surgery because he uses a technique that uses the under layer of the skin, rather than the upper layers. After the surgery, Dr. Barnett’s office called me the very next day to see how I was doing, and Dr. Barnett personally called me for the three days afterward (although it was on the weekend), to see how I was doing, and to have me send pictures of the healing. I have since had three follow-​up appointments to ensure that I am healing as I am supposed to.
Once the post-​op swelling went away, I was very happy with the outcome. My face not only looks younger, but it appears natural; if you hadn’t seen me before, you would never know that I have had plastic surgery.
I have «new» face, and just like Dr. Barnett promised, I wake up every day feeling beautiful.

I’ve known Dr. Barnett as a child and now as a women I made the decision to get a breast augmentation. He was the first person I thought of to do the job. I can’t thank him enough for the awesome job he has done. It has built my confidence through the roof. He as well as the receptionist were very attentive and called to check up on me. From the beginning of my consultations to the end result I have felt so relaxed and happy with him and his performance. I recommend him to all and was truly blessed with an amazing recovery! The compliments I have received on how good they look and how great of a job he’s done is overwhelming. happy is all I can say after having them for 8 months now !!! Please get in touch with him if you’re thinking of getting one done!

Men, if you’re considering cosmetic surgery, I highly recommend that you schedule a consultation with Dr. Barnett. He has extensive experience working on men and his technique and skill create a natural look that is important to all of his patients but especially to men. My recovery was so much faster than I expected. I was able to do things with friends and colleagues less than 2 weeks after surgery and no one suspected a thing.
During recovery from my facelift, neck lift, lower and upper eye lift, Dr. Barnett told me that no one comments on good cosmetic surgery just on bad cosmetic surgery. His is the best. I don’t look pulled or startled and I don’t look like I’ve had work done; but, I look 100% better and probably 10 years younger. The most common comment that I heard since my surgery is that I look like I’ve lost weight. The look is natural, my double chin is gone. In profile, my neck looks better than it has ever looked. The bags under my eyes are gone and my upper eye lids are open and more youthful in appearance. Dr. Barnett’s skill is unbelievable. There are no visible scars. I’m still blown away at how natural and how much better I look. But, I look so much like myself that no one has ever suspected that I’ve had cosmetic surgery. I’ve confessed to a few friends and they are amazed. So am I.
I thought that I would have to disappear for 4 – 6 weeks following surgery. I stocked up on hoodies so that I could go to the grocery store. I didn’t need them. Five days following surgery, I went out to dinner to celebrate my anniversary. Nine days following surgery I had dinner with 5 of my best friends. I was so recovered that no one noticed a thing. Not everyone will recover this fast; but, recovery was not that bad. Your neck is going to feel tight for a while and your eyes are going to itch. It takes a while for the nerves in the face to calm down and reattach; but, it all settles down after a while.
Dr. Barnett is a great guy. The whole experience was positive for me. I would recommend him highly to anyone and everyone; but, it would give a way my secret!

Dr. Barnett is an excellent Surgeon. I had a breast reduction and lift done. Believe me that couldn’t have been an easy job but I now have the most beautiful breasts at the age of 60. He did an amazing job and I couldn’t be any happier. He’s a wonderful person who made the whole service (before the surgery, surgery, and aftercare) very easy on me. I couldn’t recommend him any higher.

I saw dr. Barnett featured on the news buying fake Unilocal reviews. Bad ethics.

It’s been almost 2 years since my neck and face lift with Dr. Barnett. It’s interesting to look back at the past two years and reflect on how I feel now about how I look now. It turns out that as time has passed, I can see that the work Dr. Barnett did was much better than I may have originally been able to understand. The main thing is that because I never looked like I’d had plastic surgery, I’m now able to age looking better and looking natural. If I want to do Botox or some other procedure short of surgery, I can do so. If I want to just enjoy the boost I got two years ago and let age naturally show itself in my face I can do that. It’s a subtle thing but because Dr Barnett avoided any attempt to make me look 20 or 30 years younger than I am… rather just make me look fresher, enhanced, I don’t feel compelled to try to keep up a veneer that is unrealistic. I think I would go crazy trying to do so.
So, it turns out that I’m actually happier with how I look today than I was two years ago after the surgery. I see actresses and actors in movies and on television and many of them I feel sorry for. They had all the choices in the world to go to a good cosmetic surgeon to fight the obvious signs of aging for healthy reasons. What seems to me unhealthy and unfortunate is that many of them want too much… they want to completely deny the reality of time, turn back the clock and be 20 or 30 years younger than they are. I think it almost always backfires and they end up looking silly and sad. Anyway, that’s my take… these folks must be very happy doing what they’re doing… I hope they can keep it up! I’m just happy I found the right surgeon for me.

I can’t begin to express how happy I am with Dr. Barnett’s services. I am 24 years old and getting my breast augmentation done has been a dream of mine for a while. I went to two different surgeons (both highly recommended) but I knew choosing Dr. Barnett was the right decision. From the time I made my consultation appt. until now has been a wonderful experience. I was extremely nervous and scared to take the initiative in moving forward with surgery. After talking to Stephanie several times on the phone and asking questions (she is wonderful) made me feel at ease.
From the moment I arrived at the hospital the staff was very friendly. Even though I was nervous, after speaking with the anesthesiologist and of course Dr. Barnett I felt more comfortable. Surgery went smooth and painless (very tolerable pain) from start to finish.
Now I can’t begin to say how ecstatic I am with the results. Now that I am fully recovered I can’t begin to express what a fantastic job Dr. Barnett did. When he said that his goal is to give you a soft and natural shaped breast, he truly means it!!! I went from a size «A» to a «D» and it honestly looks like I have perfect natural breast. I would highly recommend Dr. Barnett, he is wonderful at what he does and I can see the passion he has in his work. With no doubt in my mind this is the Surgeon I will be going to for any future procedures! Thank you Dr. Barnett.

Without going into specifics, I had a noticeable asymmetry that needed correcting. I found Dr. Barnett after chance meetings with some of his «fans» (aka patients), who highly recommended him to help me correct my problem. Dr. Barnett and I had several consultations before my procedure to ensure that everything would go as smoothly as possible. He is an artist as well (see his website), so I knew my result would be stellar. I am very fussy and had a million questions for him, but he was very patient with me and had an excellent and warm bedside manner. He was very supportive in the post-​op period and made sure I was ok with phone calls for several days after my procedure. The healing process was as expected and not scary. I am very thankful to have met Dr. Barnett and I would recommend him to my friends and family.

Not only is Dr. Barnett a highly skilled, highly educated surgeon; simply put, he is a remarkable human being.
For the past 3 – 4 years I had been researching procedures and surgeons. Doing my homework, meeting with them, visiting their offices to discuss a surgery that I knew I wanted but didn’t have the clearest vision of. To be quiet honest, a lot of those surgeons didn’t help me in finding the perfect procedure for my body. In fact, some left me more confused than ever. That all changed when I met Dr. Barnett.
Immediately, he was able to listen to me not only as a surgeon but also as an artist and someone who genuinely cared… a man that sincerely wanted to give me the best result possible for my body, life, etc.
In meeting with Dr. Barnett, I became very confident in moving forward and knew that I could not have any other surgeon sculpt my body.
I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Barnett and his staff (Renee and Stephanie are two of the sweetest, most absolutely wonderful women.)
I had my surgery in September of 2014 and words cannot even begin to describe how elated I am every time I look down at the work that’s been done. Not to mention, I FEEL so much better.
Shortly after my surgery, my mother went to Dr. Barnett and had her surgery on Christmas Eve and has honestly experienced so much happiness from the results. In fact, she’s already planning another visit (for other areas of her body after a drastic weight loss and years of toning her physique as far as workouts could take her).
If you are looking for a doctor that cares for his patients well-​being, happiness and HEALTH with a keen eye for detail and a beautiful artist’s touch– Dr. Barnett is all that and more.

My daughter did extensive research and met with several plastic surgeons.
After meeting Dr. Barnett she knew he was the very best choice. She had her surgery in September and after seeing the results and being with her every step of the way, I knew it was something I had to do for myself as well. And there was no other option other than Dr. Barnett. He is an amazing surgeon and special person and we’ve enjoyed knowing him not only as a professional but as a caring human being. I am so happy with the results that I am already planning my next surgery to help sculpt my body after major weight loss.
Thank you a million times Dr. Barnett!

Being a plastic surgeon must be one of the hardest jobs in the world with respect to making all of your patients happy — all of the time. I bet too, most people who go to get work from a plastic surgeon are pretty particular and attentive in a way that if the slightest thing goes wrong — they notice fast. As a matter of fact, I bet some of us are real «pieces of work.»
I had a lot of questions and did a lot of research before I did my BA a few years back; I had a 3 inch thick binder before my procedure even began. A good PS, in my mind, needs to be comfortable and attentive with a patient like this.
I met Dr. Barnett after meeting with 3 or 4 other PS’s in the Bay Area. He, by far, instilled the most confidence in me and I chose him to do my procedure.
Unfortunately, I had CC after my BA and it drove me crazy having one breast that was stiff and oddly shaped compared to the other — even if it was only something I noticed. I went back to Dr. Barnett and he fixed it for me at a much reduced cost. It is now 3 years after my revision and everything is fine and my breasts are doing great. The results of plastic surgery do not always go the way you think they are going to go and when that happens you need to be in a relationship with a doctor who is willing to, most importantly, continue to instill confidence (even more so than the original meet and greet) and problem solve with you.
I would go back to Dr. Barnett in a second. I just wish there was a 100% guarantee that nothing would go wrong with any & all procedures (which won’t happen in my life time) & it was not such an expensive venture.

This was my first time working with Dr. Barnett and it was fantastic! I won’t go into specifics, but will say that his attention to detail is spectacular. Amazing, yet subtle improvement ;)
I have a really crazy schedule, and they were very understanding and accommodating. There were no issues even when I had to cancel an appointment at the last minute.
I’ve given Dr. B many referrals and will be giving him more in the future!

Never before have I met a doctor who listened to me as well as Dr. Barnett. I booked a consult with him to discuss a very minor eyelid surgery operation and he gave me truly insightful advice. He showed me what the potential outcome could look like and explained all the post-​op and recovery so patiently. He really went above and beyond what I expected, which after a few bad consults was not much.
This was the first plastic surgeon I met who made me feel like he actually cared about his patients and helping them achieve the best possible outcome. At this point I have no interest in finding a new surgeon, and highly recommend him and his staff is amazing as well! He could not have done a better job, and I could not be more happy with the outcome!

I just finished a series of chemical peels and I’m really happy with the result! I wasn’t so much worried about wrinkles but I had rough skin and acne scars on the sides of my neck from when I was younger. I was always insecure about how it made me look older and not so attractive. After discussing my options (they were really great about talking with me) it became clear chemical peels were going to be a better fit for my budget and goals than microdermabrasion. I highly recommend Dr. Barnett!

So I got a BA done with Dr. Barnett a little over a month ago, but wanted to wait to leave the results until my post-​op was fully done. Well, now that’s it over, all I can say is… I LOVE IT!
I was terrified of the results looking fake or like some of those nightmare outcomes you see on TV, but they look so natural. All my friends love them and of course I’ve already noticed I’m getting more attention ;) Highly recommend Dr. B., he is not just a surgeon but an artist (and art lover too!)

So a few years ago I was diagnosed as having a deviated septum as a result of a broken nose I had when I was younger. I had talked to both ear, nose and throat doctors and cosmetic surgeons about my options. I didn’t really know which way to go as the ENT doctor was just going to fix the chipped bone and air blockage but a plastic surgeon could fix that and the slight indentation/​bump from the broken nose.
In the end I chose Dr. Barnett as he understood both sides of the problem and had dealt with situations like this before. I couldn’t be happier! Not only can I breathe out of my nose better now, but it looks like it used to before the break. Thanks Dr. Barnett

This place is fantastic! My chemical peel was super easy and they were very informative re: the fact that weather can have an effect on your skin if you do it at the wrong time, and they educated me on all the ways to take care of my skin after the fact. I even bought the skin cream they were selling even tho I know it was probably the same thing you can get at the pharmacy for super cheap: p They really are that amazing. I can’t speak on the actual plastic surgery operations, but I will be coming back here in the future! — Thoa

Dr. Barnett is magical! I had acne when I was younger and it really messed up my skin. Now that I’ve grown up the acne’s is gone but I still have some scarring. I talked to quite a lot of dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons about my options, and Dr. Barnett really impressed me with this understanding of how acne affects the skin and how the scarring works. We decided on a chemical peel and micro-​dermabrasion on the sides of my neck and I could NOT be happier. Definitely recommended!

I saw Dr. Barnett for minor rhinoplasty surgery not too long ago. I did my research on all the top surgeons in the area, and Dr. Barnett’s track record and comprehensive approach made me feel comfortable when I made a final decision. It’s pretty cool that he loves art just as much as I do, so we bonded over that.
Both pre and post op care were fine! His staff was informative and helpful. More important his focus on my needs helped me avoid a surgery a different surgeon had recommended that was obviously way overboard.
And to top it all off I’m much more satisfied with the outcome than the other 3 – 4 women I know who’ve had the same procedure.
