I have never had a more caring, answering questions quickly, and willing to talk to me doctor. When he was practicing in the office off I-5 I travelled to his office from NW Vancouver. If he ever leaves research and goes back to practice I would be first in line to try to start up with him again. I have AS have not found anyone as good.

He's amazingly knowledgeable, relatable, kind, let's you lead your treatment. He gives you the options and his opinion then lets you decide. Has never once made me feel like he didn't care or have time for me. I'm a difficult case and he's gone to bat for me over and over again. He even after seeing my husband accompany me to my apts asked him about his feet, asked us to make an apt for my husband next time I come in and had diagnosed my husband with an incredibly rare disorder that my husband has suffered from since childho... read more

Dr. Barkhuizen downplayed the sterility effects of a medication, and now I can't have kids.

I was referred to the Clinic through Providence. When I called to ask questions Michelle made me feel like I was a thorn in her side,not a good way to start. Second I did get my referral to the office within a days time. I asked her II could get an appointment and she said Dr. Barkhuizen would have to read over note s and get back to me. I did ask as to whether I could make an appointment and she said very short, no not until the doctor looks over it. I didn't hear ,we will call you or nothing. Its been 7 days weekend includ... read more

I'm sure he's a fine doctor for people without prior conditions. Unfortunately I have to warn anyone with diagnosed mental health issues away. He had no interest in my physical symptoms upon learning I had PTSD and bipolar disorder, even though my physical symptoms were unrelated to those conditions. Instead, he diagnosed me with fibromyalgia even though I have no fibro symptoms, because that fit with his preconception of what someone with PTSD suffers. I had already been diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder and was asking ... read more

I have been with Dr. Barkhuizen now for several years and recommend to all I know with RA. He is great! Listens, and works with each person to get them where they need to be. works with you regarding your health care. Honest about not knowing something and he's encouraging to help you research what is going on with your body.

Dr Barkhuizen is caring, thorough and an excellent diagnostician. He isn't a cookie cutter doctor. He thinks for himself. He's independent, not part of a huge clinic. That's VERY IMPORTANT because he makes his own rules. So if you need strong pain meds he is not afraid to give you a script for what you need!!

I was referred to Dr Barkhuizen for joint pain and fatigue around 2 years ago. He peppered me with questions, didn't allow me talk, basically threatened me with treatments like chemo if I "wanted" to be told I have Lupus. I told him I WANTED to find out what was wrong with me, not an unnecessary diagnosis. It was every patient's worst nightmare. He made me feel like a hypochondriac and I left in tears, never to return. I have Ehlers Danlos, PoTS and MCAS; not hypochondria.

Dr Barkhuizen is caring, answers questions, takes his time going over health changes and new plan of care. He is very professional as well as his staff. His nurse is great.
