The shots I get (occasionally) in my back are starting to not work as well, so we are looking at alternative treatments. He will prescribe pain meds, but not a lot, and that's okay with me. I barely take mine and generally only need a refill every six months. Just a note, his office is on Brainard, not SOM. I recommend him highly.

I saw this doctor in July with horrible chronic neck pain and mobility issues. She told me that…read morethere was nothing wrong with my spine, but just tension in my muscle muscles and provided a needling treatment. That treatment provided relief for about 24 hours, but the pain then came back worse than before so I went to another doctor just two weeks later where they took an x-ray and discovered that I had suffered a cervical fracture. Dr Mehta's office charged me $1100 after I explicitly confirmed that they took my insurance on the phone when I made the appointment and in person the day of when I was signing in. I have called this office several times and been forwarded to voicemail by the staff every single time with absolutely no response or call back regarding the fact that I was charged $1100 for a "facility fee" after I was lied to about my insurance being accepted and not even mentioning the fact that this doctor did no imaging and told me that there was nothing wrong with my spine when I in fact have a C7 fracture. I have been calling and leaving voicemails for weeks now just asking someone to discuss this bill with me. I have been calm, respectful, and understanding when the truth is I'm a bit angry that I was charged this fee by a doctor Who was so horribly wrong with my diagnosis and care. The Cleveland clinic billing department has been unable to help me resolve this and has told me that I need to contact the office specifically which is what I have been trying to do with no response, so I'm sorry to leave a negative review, but I don't know how else to get someone to call me back at this point!

I can no longer recommend this doctor and here is why. When you go to a Pain Management doctor or…read moreany doctor for that matter with pain and discomfort, you expert that person to use his expertise to recommend solutions, right? Well he recommended physical therapy which I did religiously. But sometimes I would have breakthrough pain episodes where the pain was bad. When I explained this to him he said to take Tylenol. When I said that didn't help he said, "Well I don't know what to tell you." I started to cry out of sheer frustration. He said, "I know you said muscle relaxers don't work for you." I said, "That is incorrect. In fact the last time I saw you I asked you to refill my Robaxin and you said no and told me to go back to the original physician who wrote it for me." Then he had the balls to say to me, "Well that is what I wrote in my notes and I don't tend to make things up." He even asked me, "Well what do you want me to give you?" I said, "I don't know medicine. You are the doctor. I just find it hard to believe there is NOTHING you can write for me that would help me." Like, hey jerk, humor me and write me a script for a topical compound or something along those lines! He even went so far to check my Medical history and say, "You have only been dealing with this for 6 months." Are you kidding me? Right then and there I decided I would NEVER go back to him and that I would find another doctor... you know, one who is compassionate and who gives patients OPTIONS and SOLUTIONS to HELP a patient in pain. Begrudgingly he wrote me a measly 10 Robaxin and told me to use them sparingly. This guy is a complete jerk and he is not a caring doctor.

Wow! It seems we all have something in common with course of treatment dr Barnett seems to…read morefavor...for my level of pain rated 8-10 I was instructed to take 1 extra strength Tylenol and go to physical therapy!!!! He also offered steroid injection even though they were ineffective previously???? Also I was waiting on previous results and lab work to rule out infection in my red and swelling legs! Yikes is is that desperate for $$$$ to order epidural injection when a May have a active infection??? Remember these doctors make there money on procedures not office visits and prescriptions. I had severe stenosis with claudication confirmed by mri and documented by 2 other doctors as well as spondlythesis confirmed by X-ray but got missed along the way! Dr Barnett documents in his notes that he found the above to be undetermined in his assessment??? Are you serious? He neglected to treat my pain and orders physical therapy!!! Thank goodness I didn't go to physical therapy I went to a surgeon at UH for his medical opinion. He listened as to what symptoms I had as well as my debilitating pain ordered X-ray, MRI and nerve muscle test. He put me on appropriate pain meds. After test results he said that surgery was needed to stop further damage. My spine -vertebra was badly out of alignment with 1 bone sliding on top of another causing horrible pain as well as pinching nerves causing weakness and a neuropathy to my right leg!!! I think dr Barnett should think about getting out of pain management. Doctor Barnett not ever patient is pill shopping and I believe he is burned out and patients are left without there pain being properly treated!!!! To all, I would not waste your valuable time going to this doctor for pain control he's burned out and his medical judgement is clouded therefore neglecting to treat your pain appropriately!!!!
