I cried after leaving her office. She was so condescending and before even examining me told me that it would not possible for me to have PCOS and questioned where I'd gotten that diagnosis (every OBGYN I have ever seen has unanimously drawn that conclusion). She then proceeded to tell me I didn't understand the female reproductive system and told me I needed to be on oral birth control. She ignored me when I explained why for my mental health that was no longer an option for me. This was all very disappointing coming from a young woman.. if this were someone of a previous generation or a man it would have still be upsetting, but more expected. I have never left a review of any business before..but I don't want another woman going to her and having a similar experience, especially given the vulnerable nature of her specialty. read more

I'm so grateful I found Dr. Barnes. From the first visit, I felt heard and taken seriously. Dr. Barnes took time to explain options, answered every question, and helped me feel confident about the plan moving forward. The staff was also friendly and organized, which made everything easier. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Barnes to friends and family. read more

Dr. Barnes is by far the best doctor in any specialty I have ever had. She cared for me throughout my pregnancy, and she was incredibly compassionate and patient. She talked through every one of my concerns and ultimately helped me achieve the exact birth plan I had hoped for. I believe I healed very quickly because of some of her decisions. Her office, though, is very, very challenging to work with. That said (and maybe sadly), it started getting a little easier to work with them once the $300 office fee started getting charged and patients started leaving. Still, they were very challenging and often lacked compassion for other women I saw who were struggling with very serious issues. But in any event, almost all OB back offices suck, so you might as well go with Dr. Barnes. She is the absolute best. read more

Dr Barnes is worth 5 stars, BUT the office gets 1 star for the way it is run. I'm considering choosing another Dr. Something is terribly wrong with the staff. They lose tests you've paid for, behave oddly when asked for the results, never admitting anything is lost, nor setting up a repeat test. Plus they are unnaturally reticent to send the re-done tests to your specialist or family practitioner. Also, watch out for double billing. Don't pay the bill you receive by mail before checking your records, or with your insurance company...because even though you have already paid the annual administrative fee of $300 per household by/at the time of your checkup (mandatory), and your insurance fully covers your wellness check, the office will still send you a bill (a month later) for all of that again! WHY? I understand mistakes, as long as they are admitted to and fixed. Instead, my experience has been the staff appears to intentionally hide the mistakes allowing for compounding negative effects. I hope at least one of the Dr's here reads this review. Although my Dr. is great, I dread dealing with the office staff who are polite but, problematic. It's hard to understand why this office is not better run when all of us are paying an extra out-of-pocket concierge fee, yet receive a sub par staff experience. Per the notice which was sent in 2024, we were promised the $300 "administrative fee" was for the "ability to provide excellent service to you"... "In order to preserve our personalized service, we have implemented an annual administrative fee of $300 per household as of  January 1, 2024. This fee will be due once each calendar year before your visit or the day of your visit prior to being seen by your doctor. It can be paid in person or on our website" Those of us choosing to stay after the concierge fee was implemented are being let down. read more

Dr. Barnes is the best. She is extremely knowledgeable, kind, patient, and easy to talk to. I appreciate that she always provides thorough explanations every step of the way and, when choices need to made, she gives clear and nonjudgemental information about all the pros and cons of each potential choice. The office staff is also wonderful, helpful, and efficient. Highly, highly recommend. read more

Dr. Barnes is a breath of fresh air after going through multiple different OBGYNs. I am so very grateful that I am under her care. She has the most amazing bedside manner and I love that she always includes and acknowledges my husband during visits. She provides such great education and always makes sure that the treatment plan is clear for the next visit. She makes a lot of effort to get to know you and doesn't treat you like "just a patient."I have never left her office disappointed. She has been closely following my journey with family planning and recently delivered our sweet baby boy. Her methods are incredible and the ambiance of the delivery was so intimate. I was vulnerable but Dr. Barnes made me and my husband feel so safe every step of the way. The office staff are very sweet as well. People need to understand that clinics tend to get busy, some patients need more time with the doctor than others, emergencies happen, and even if you have an appointment there will always be a wait time. I don't care about waiting in this office because Dr. Barnes is definitely worth it. Dr. Barnes, you have such a special place in our hearts. Thank you for everything. read more

If I could give less than one star, I would! I am so ANGRY right now! I have been a patient at Huntington OBGYN for almost 40 years and I am an RN. My original doctor was Jim Henneberg in July 1986. He was wonderful, delivered my daughter, and was always thorough, kind and gentle. In March 2023 I called the office to make an appointment with him and was told that he retired "last year". Great, it would have been nice if someone told the patients that! They assigned me to a new doctor, Amanda Barnes. I was so happy to meet her, she was even better than Jim H. (sorry, Jim). I had a medical problem at the time and she called me to see how I was doing, great follow-up, etc. I always schedule my annual physical for October. In August 2024 I went to their website to make an appointment for October and I could not make one, only request one. A few weeks later someone from the office called and told me the first available appointment was for 2 pm on January 22, 2025! Today. They sent me numerous emails and text messages confirming my appointment. I arrived just before 2 pm, signed in, then the front desk person confirmed my insurance. The next words out of her mouth were "how to you want to pay the annual office fee of $300.00?". I was shocked and said that I have insurance and she told me this was in addition to my insurance and had to be paid by cash, credit or debit card or check. I told her I never heard of anything so outrageous and I was not paying it because I can't afford that amount and that's why I have good insurance. I told her I wanted to speak with the doctor. She walked away, came back and said she just walked into a patient room. The time was 2:10 PM. I said to her, my appointment was at 2 pm and I was here on time! If she was going in to see a patient at 2:10, that should have been me since that was my appointment time. The girl at the desk said "so, you are telling me you are not paying our fee?" I responded that's correct. She then handed me a sheet of paper with referral doctors in the area, did something on the computer and then said "okay, I just cancelled your appointment, you are free to leave!" What a horrible way to run a medical office (I ran a medical office at one time)! This is such a shame because I would have given Dr. Barnes 10 stars, if possible, not now! Why couldn't the office have told me about this fee when they called to make the appointment (they instituted this fee in January 2024)? In all the email and text messages they sent, don't you think they could have mentioned the fee? I KNOW running an office of any kind can be expensive, my husband was a physician! I will find another doctor but I will NEVER go back to this office! And I certainly urge others to not go there also. You may get good service once or twice but their bottom line is about making money! read more

Dr.Barnes is hands down the most amazing provider/person/ and even therapist ( PP trenches) she was so attentive, offered her best advice. She's sweet. SMART. And has amazing bed side manners. And not to mention, she saved my daughter's life during my (wild) delivery. I'm always amazed at how calm but efficient she was. I always felt my daughter and I were safe despite the circumstances. I give her my highest recommendation. read more

Dr. Barnes is lovely but her front desk staff is the worst I have ever encountered. They didn't call in any of the referrals or prescriptions discussed at my visit, and it took multiple phone calls to make it happen. They called in the wrong medicine for one, another came through a mail order pharmacy I had never listed or used, and a birth control Dr. Barnes recommended was just never called in because they had to ask Dr. Barnes a question about which one it was and no one ever got back to me. I was out of town and needed an emergency refill on something-- it took about 5 phone calls where they kept transferring me to a billing department to take care of a $1.60 balance and they had me make a new annual appointment before agreeing to call in the prescription which... they just never called in. I won't be going back. read more

If I could give Dr Barnes 1000 stars I would. She's literally the best doctor I've ever had. From the get go I felt super seen and that she has always been super thoughtful in terms of what I'm experiencing and making suggestions. I've had doctors in the past that I felt were dismissive or didn't seem to put much effort into finding solutions to my problems but that's never the case with Dr. Barnes. She's someone who you can tell genuinely wants to care for her patients and I'm so glad I found her :) read more

Dr. Barnes is THE BEST. If we could give her more stars, we would. Choosing her to be my OBGYN was one of the best decisions I made throughout my pregnancy. From the very first appointment, it was clear she was extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, thorough, and a wonderfully genuine person. The biggest thing my husband and I noticed off the bat was how she took the time to listen and provide creative and effective solutions to whatever particular symptom I was having. I felt empowered each trimester with the tools and education we were provided with during our appointments. We never felt rushed and always felt that we were in the best care possible. She gained our trust very quickly and being first-time parents, meant the world to us! Towards the end of my pregnancy, my blood pressure began to climb into the gestational hypertension range and it became clear that we would need to induce early. This was at the peak of the Omicron wave and despite the hospital being SUPER busy and understaffed, Dr. Barnes made sure we got in as quickly as possible. We created a plan together and felt like we were walking into my induction and delivery as a team. As fate would have it, I ended up developing pre-eclampsia. We felt so relieved that we had made the choice to deliver early. Her guidance made our situation a best-case scenario. In the hospital and during my postpartum recovery, she was consistently checking in, communicating with us, and providing me with the best possible solutions. She had our back every step of the way. My husband and I are SO grateful we found Dr. Barnes! We cannot rave about her enough and are pretty sure many of our friends will be heading her way in the coming years haha If you're looking for a doctor who is deeply passionate about her work and goes above and beyond for her patients, look no further. We cannot recommend her enough! read more

Couldn't be more grateful to have found Dr Barnes at the beginning of what ended up being a very complicated and high risk twin pregnancy. She has been with my husband and I every step of the way and truly listens and offers a tremendous amount of support. Never feels rushed in our visits and takes her time listening -- I have had a rough pregnancy sickness wise and she has always been able to find a solution when something wasn't working. The staff at the office is all wonderful -- from the front desk gals to Leslie her medical assistant and the rest of the team. I always feel heard and accommodated. We love Dr Barnes!!! read more

I am so happy I found Dr Amanda Barnes! I've always had such a hard time connecting with a OBGYN and from day one I left my appointment so informed. She listened to my concerns and didn't brush me off. She agreed with my conclusion of my symptoms and didn't make me feel dumb. I even had a question for her a couple of weeks after my appointment and I called the office and left I message thinking maybe she'd call me in a few days or I'd have to wait for my 6 weeks out appointment. Well she called me back the same day! I am so happy I finally know what's wrong and even though it's a frustrating diagnosis I'm happy to have doctor that really cares about her treatment for her patients. read more

Dr.Barnes is the best OBGYN. She listens to everything you want to say, she respects what you say and she does everything in her power to make you feel comfortable and safe with her. She is THE BEST. You just don't find doctors like her. I'm so grateful that we found each other. read more

Dr Amanda Barnes is amazing. She listens to you, and explains. She makes me feel so comfortable. So if your looking for a great Dr she's the one. And her staff is great. read more

Front desk people are super nice but, be prepared to wait 4 months for an appointment. Shouldn't be accepting new patients if your wait is that long. read more

She is the absolute best please consider seeing her if you are looking for an OBGYN. She is incredibly intelligent, kind, patient, attentive and on top of her game! I went to her at Huntington OBGYN for my first pregnancy and she guided me thru the whole process all the way to delivery and it all felt like a breeze. She is always on time during office visits and she takes her time with you. I know I had a million questions almost every visits and she so kindly answered all of them. I love Dr. Barnes. read more

It was two months after I moved to America that I found out I was pregnant. I was attacked by a lot of anxiety in an unfamiliar life. Amanda is the best doctor. She was patient with my terrible English and she always put me at ease. When I gave birth, she came at 4am and picked up my daughter! Coincidentally my daughter has the same nickname as her. I am very honored to do so. read more

If we could give her 10 stars we would. Dr Barnes literally saved our daughters life with her attention to detail after switching to her from our former OB. She is dedicated to her work, and it shows in her results. She has amazing bedside manner and is extremely kind and genuine. She answers all your questions with patience and understanding and is a true master of her craft. We would highly recommend her to anyone and we are forever grateful for what she did for us! read more

Five stars doesn't seem to convey how wonderful Dr. Amanda Barnes truly is. I had just moved to the Pasadena area and after having seen two other Obgyns- who were awful and left me in the dark- I found her. I nearly came to her in tears as I was nearing the end of my second trimester and I needed to find someone that would deliver my baby, and QUICK! She was heaven sent. Everything I was looking for in a doctor: extremely knowledgeable, attentive, patient, accommodating, and most of all compassionate. At the hospital, my son was in the NICU and being a first time mother, I didn't know what to expect. One of the *stupid* nurses wouldn't allow for me to have skin to skin with my baby, and I was pretty depressed- Dr. Barnes went and advocated for me, making sure to have the nurses in the NICU allow for the (much needed!) skin to skin with my baby. So the bottom line is that she made my pregnancy and delivery one of the most beautiful experiences and for that I'm eternally grateful The biggest con I have with Dr. Amanda Barnes is that I may not have any more babies so I won't get to see her as often! Haha! read more

It was a pleasure to meet Dr. Barnes today. She was such a nice caring doctor who was thorough when addressing all my questions and concerns. She had a great plan in place to deal with my gynecological issues and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an OBGYN. Additionally I was able to book an appointment with her in the same week I called! read more

Dr. Barnes is the absolute best! I didn't have to wait more than a few minutes to see the doctor. She was so kind and gentle. She asked me if I had any concerns. She asked me lots of questions and really listened. She was not judgemental but instead super understanding. Her exam was painless. She is a blessing and I'm so glad I found her. read more

The best OBGYN I've ever visited. Took the time to understand my concerns and questions and had great communication.

I am so happy to have chosen Dr. Barnes to be my OB during my first trimester. She is caring, kind, and so intelligent. We had to move out of state and it has been difficult for my fiancé and I to find any doc equivalent to her standard. I wouldn't hesitate to go to her practice again if we were to move back to the area! read more

My husband and I went to Dr Barnes when I was 6 weeks pregnant and instantly loved her when she made it a point to ask my husband's name, instead of gloss over him like others have done. She answered all of my many questions, made sure that both my husband were okay during the pregnancy and was genuinely a wonderful and caring person. She loves on my son every time I bring him in. Highly recommend, Dr. Barnes! read more

Dr. Barnes is THE BEST. Cannot recommend highly enough. Kind, professional, great bedside manner, helped us so much during my wife's delivery. We are so lucky to have her as our doctor. read more

After getting out of the ER for excruciating pelvic pain & a diagnosis of a hemorrhagic ovarian cyst, I was told to see an OB/GYN within 1-2 days to follow up on next steps. After explaining everything that happened and presenting all the imaging, Dr. Barnes told me "I don't know what is going on." She was completely dismissive of my symptoms and that I told her I cannot work or sit down without pain. read more

I had to look for a new Ob, and I came across Dr Barnes, I took the chance and waited to get seen by her, and let me tell you she was worth the wait. Down to earth very knowledgeable very sweet and kind. I know we will have a good birth with Dr Barnes!! read more

So pleased meeting Dr. Amanda Barnes for the first time, LOVED her. Very caring, gentle, patient, friendly, took her time and was very thorough discussing my issues. Made me feel very comfortable. Her exam was pain free. I am so happy I chose her. read more

Dr Barnes is amazing. I came to her after having a not so great time at a fancy OBGYN's office in Beverly Hills, and the experience was night and day. I was very nervous throughout my pregnancy since I'd had a miscarriage a few months earlier, and Dr Barnes never wavered in her patience, kindness and skill. When I went into labor almost a month early, she was beyond calm and reassuring, and brought my daughter seamlessly into the world. Truly a gem of a doctor and human - can't recommend her highly enough. read more

Dr Barnes delivered my triplets. I couldn't be happier with the care and dedication to our family. She was with us every step of the way .
