Brian D.Barash, MD, Gladstone MO

Dr. Barash and his partners are very thoughtful and very knowledgeable about pharmacology and managing serious psychiatric conditions. He has been very thoughtful about medication’s, as well as addressing side effects, and listening to my partners thoughts and suggestions when things don’t seem to be working for them. Would highly recommend.

Dr. Barash seems to be very med happy. He throws more and more pills at his patients without running any true evaluation to determine diagnosis. The office will dismiss and ban patients for simple reasons. Such as missing an appointment, no second chance.
At one particular appointment he wouldn't listen to me. I was in high-school and one of the girls in my friend group had run away and no one had heard from her. I was scared for her. I told him as much and he put me on more meds. He didn't seem to take into consideration that he was dealing with a 17 year old who was going through a difficult situation. He just assumed i needed more meds, when really I needed to just process my fear and didn't have the emotional skills and maturity to process it on my own. It felt like he wanted his patients drugged up so they were easier to make comply.
I honestly can't believe he's still in practice.

Horrible Dr and person. Very condescending, rude and abrupt! Treated me horrible 4 yrs ago during my alcohol addiction and still haven't forgot. Called me a punk and told me to go get drunk because I'm a loser. Exact words. I will be filing complaints and legal action as well. Now that Im sober and doing better I can actually do something about this guy and keep others from having the same experience. Actually who wants to Class Action Lawsuit this guy with me? !? Let's do it, he deserve it 100 percent!

Brian barash severely impacted my life through his knowledge and expertise. He pursued measured to take away my freedom from a place of anger, rather than concern. PLEASE find a Dr who will listen to you and provide collaborative care. Brian barash and his colleagues at signature health do not do that.

I tried to schedule an appointment. No one was able to answer the phone on either call. Left two messages with no return call.
