Dr Barth is the best you will feel confident with the medical services of Dr Barth . His office is now in Healdsburg and Santa Rosa

For 20 years I accepted my deteriorating eyesight as a normal part of aging. But when it became so bad that I could hardly read, and the intense glare from oncoming headlights made me avoid driving at night, I knew it was time to do something. I was extremely fortunate to have been referred to Dr. Gary P. Barth for cataract surgery. Dr. Barth is the most caring and skillful ophthalmologist I could have hoped to meet. He replaced the lens in both of my eyes with minimal discomfort and well organized postoperative care . I went from living in an increasingly blurry world to 20/20 vision, and the ability to see clearly in a way that seems almost like a miracle. Thank you so much Dr. Barth! read more

I am a very picky Clinical Research Physician. Let say I have been around the block a few times, with many types of doctors and staff, so I have to call it the way I see it. I have never been in this office prior, nor know anyone there. Dr. Barth and staff are what I call the very best of the best. Professional, kind, and have a great way of treating people in a very polite and courteous way. I was a bit early for my appointment and saw firsthand how they treated people. Dr. Barth, performed a procedure in the office, that was effective and fast. I give him and the staff 10 stars if I could. read more

Requested extra anaesthesia for cataract surgery which was not given, consequently flinched during operation which then failed. Barth acknowledged the error but when I complained about getting a bill Barth exploded in a voicemail, told me he was removing me from his practice and would have a guard stationed to prevent the scheduled repair operation, which I then had to get elsewhere. Now 7 months later still no use of right eye awaiting recovery from fixit operation. I notice the same thing happened to another reviewer read more

This new to Healdsburg practice is a high caliber and welcome addition for those who desire an Opthamologist. Thé staff is very attentive and keeps in touch before and after the appointment. The office is light and attractive. Dr. Barth is easy to talk to and is a good listener. read more

Avoid this surgeon. He may have been good at one time, but seems to be losing his marbles. His surgery required me to have two more emergency surgeries elsewhere. When I tried asking him questions about what happened, he got angry and asked why I "couldn't be like most people and be grateful that my cataract was gone." Never mind that I now have a lens stitched into my eye for life because he messed up. I was told by someone with inside information that he screwed up and was not taking responsibility for it. Another reviewer here calls him "the most discourteous and uncaring provider that I have ever interacted with" (and that is five years before my surgery with him). I could not agree more. read more

Dr. Barth is the complete package: gifted surgeon and warm, caring fun personality. He did my cataract surgery 8 months ago. It was a pleasant- even fun at times - experience. The results were almost miraculous. Before the surgery I was very nearsighted (-10) had astigmatism and presbyopia. Dr. Barth implanted astigmatic IOL's in each eye and corrected one eye for distance the other for reading. After wearing glasses for 50 years I am now completely free of them: I have 20-20 vision near and far! read more

Wow. My husband has cataracts, as diagnosed by an OD in Santa Rosa. He referred us to Dr. Barth, saying he was great. Well, HE IS NOT GREAT. We called Dr. Barth's office, referencing our referral. His office said they wouldn't even talk to us, don't even want to speak to us, don't want to do any follow-up with Dr. Wagner, just hung up on us. What is happening??? What would we do? we won't talk to you, won't even do a consultation, read more

Just read that Dr Barth treated 60 homeless dinner guests to see "Star Wars" followed by dinner at Chevy's. What a great philanthropist he is to the Santa Rosa locals. Love this kind of news. read more

After having worked in the medical profession in the United States and overseas for greater than 20 years, I can readily state that he is the most discourteous and uncaring provider that I have ever interacted with. read more

Dr Barth is OUTSTANDING! He did cataract surgery on both my eyes in December 2018. I couldn't be happier with the results. I see 20/20 now. The surgeries were fast and 100% painless, recovery overnight. Dr Barth and his partners do more cataract surgeries than any other eye care group in the 5 North Bay counties. Dr Barth did EIGHT people the same day he did me! Before the surgery he went over three different surgeries available and explained carefully all the options re distance vision, close-up vision, and VERY important today, intermediate range for today's digital media. And he saved me $1,000 per eye by advising me that I id NOT need the super-fancy & expensive 3rd option. He told me to take the middle-of-the-road option which is what he had done to his eyes!!! Now THAT is an honest doc! I no longer need glasses for driving, reading nor working on my computer. And talk about caring for his patients -- he called me at 8 PM the night of each surgery to see how I was doing! THANK YOU, Dr BARTH!!!!! read more

Dr. Barth is the best. He is one of the first doctors that I have had whose obvious confidence is meshed with subtle humility. Overconfidence creates a gap between patient and doctor but under Dr. Barth's care I felt like we were "in this together". His anesthesiologist at his surgery center, who has participated in three of my surgeries, is a really good guy and I like how they work together. read more

This doctor is a talented saint. He is so highly skilled it is amazing. Also, he has a very pleasant personality and is always willing to help with any issue no matter how small. I highly recommend him and his office. read more
