Patients also share
Opportunities for improvement noted in the reviews are minimal and infrequent.

Another reviewer felt he could ask more thorough questions during appointments. One patient noted a perceived personality clash, though they acknowledged he is a good doctor. A single reviewer mentioned that while Dr. Barnard identified their condition, he did not offer much explanation or a clear solution.
