Looked for a top dentist using ratemds site, and was not disappointed- nice office, clean and comfortable. Some people have commented "rushed"- I did not have that experience. She was pleasant, had a sense of humour, was present (not "rushed") and answered my questions and went through my dental health with me so I understood and saw what she was talking about. Makes sure you are comfortable with procedures, examinations. Friendly staff and hygienists- my cleaning was also great and informative. Great experience, glad to have Dr. Barnard as my new dentist

Dr. Barnard has been my dentist for more than 10 years. She combines not just extremely professional work, but has such a nice way about her - she cares and it shows.. She has a fun sense humour too, and a special touch with my kids, that has made their dental visits actually something they look forward too. We love Dr. Barb

Sometimes it is better to take an extra minute or two. It always feels like she is rushing. I also don't appreciate feeling like I am stupid. She talks down to me. At this point in her career, she does not care about acquiring any more patients and I can definitely tell. She may be an ok dentist, but she definitely does not care to have new patients.

Dr. Barnard is amazing. She's very understanding and takes into account your financial situation as well as your health. I came in to make an emergency appointment just before closing time and Dr. Barnard made time for me right away. I was really impressed as previous dentists would just make an appointment within the week. What makes me even more impressed is that two days later (Friday), she called me to check up on me and leave me her personal number so I could contact her over the weekend if my situation got any worse. She goes well out of her way for her patients and it makes me feel like improving my dental health is actually important to her. Hands down, she's 100% amazing. I have absolutely no complaints. I would also like to mention that my dental hygienist, Ruth, is equally as amazing. You can tell she's been in her career for a long time and she keeps up to date. She absolutely loves natural treatments rather than chemical drugs which I like because I feel the same way.

I have been with Dr. Barb for many years...I searched her out when she left the hospital where she had been practicing...I was living in Stratford at the time and I have since moved to Toronto...I continue to make the commute because the care, atmosphere and other staff are amazing...Needles used to be my greatest fear and she often has them done before I know they are coming...The office is immaculate and the punctuality and professionalism and one on one care is unlike any I have experienced anywhere...I highly recommend this Fine practice...

Amazing dentist. I'm a pretty wimpy guy when it comes to the dentists and I have been subjected to some truly terrible ones and know when I'm in good hands. Dr Barnard has all the tech and knowledge base to make my appointments as painless and comfortable as possible. I can't say enough about Dr Barnard. She loves her job, and really takes the time to understand her patients. IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR ONE OF THE BEST LOOK NO FURTHER.

I had always been afraid of going to the dentist, but I decided it was time to go. The entire experience, from booking the appointment, to getting my x-rays, to my exam with Dr Barnard, to my cleaning, was absolutely wonderful. Dr. Barnard is a professional, but very compassionate and helped allay my fear of the dentist. She has a warm personality and a great sense of humor. Her entire staff is amazing and friendly. If anyone has a dental phobia and that has kept you from going to the dentist for a while, I STRONGLY recommend Dr Barnard.

Dr Barnard helped me overcome my fear of dentists. She told me exactly what was going to happen and what to expect. I have complete trust in her. She was also very patient with my daughter who was adamant she would not get more than two teeth extracted at once, although three were needed. She let her come back the next day to get the third out. This was because she wanted my daughter to trust her rather than just extracting the three without her knowing. She always does the right thing for her patients.

I can only echo what others have said. She's cheerful, remembers who I am, and is quite knowledgeable. At my last visit she stayed chatted while waiting for my teeth to go numb. It's little things like that that make my visits far more enjoyable that visits to other dentists in the past.

I am very pleased with my experience with Dr.Barnard. Her staff was welcoming and very professional. I asked a lot of questions on the phone before booking an appointment and each was answered completely and with knowledge, confidence and friendliness. At the appointment the hygienist I saw had a warm personality and distracted me with conversation, as did Dr. Barnard during the exam. Dr Barnard was thorough, professional, and left me confident in her abilities. She was patient with my dental anxiety and I did not feel judged or ashamed. For me, the hardest part of going to the dentist is knowing that I am acting foolishly due to my fear but not being able to do anything to stop it. Finally I found a dentist who made me feel like a human rather than a case. I would strongly recommend this practice and would be very comfortable bringing my children here.

Dr. Barnard is an amazing dentist. She is very patient and warm. While she is working in your mouth, she keeps up a banter that is a welcome distraction. I find she is good at reading people and quickly building a rapport. She doesn't try to upsell expensive treatments, and I think she would be an excellent dentist to consult with for a second opinion on a treatment.
