Dr. Joseph R. Barnthouse, MD, Kansas City MO

Such a compassionate and honest physician. I visited him with an under eye concern, and he told me that I didn’t need any work done and was beautiful the way I was. That is all I needed to hear. Thank you Dr. Barnthouse, and God bless you.

Firstly, the office staff is the MOST efficient I have ever had the pleasure of working with. They are precise, accurate, they literally do everything flawlessly. I had researched surgeons for quite some time before my procedure because I wanted it to be absolutely perfect. He was always on the top 10 list so I did a little more research and looked at his photos which I was very impressed with. I was pregnant but knew I wanted to consult as soon as I could. Originally, he was booked out until November of 2022 which wouldn’t have worked at all, so I was super bummed but Wendy (she is a literal angel) said to save the office number because when they get cancellations they go down the list and offer the next available. I was two weeks post partum and a number I didn’t recognize came up but looked familiar (I didn’t save it in my phone of course) I don’t usually answer numbers I don’t know but I did for some reason. Low and behold it was Wendy and she said they had a cancellation for a consult for March 14th. This was a week away, of course I was ecstatic and immediately took the spot. I got to the office which is prestine, and lovely. I spoke with Dr. Barnthouse for about 2 hours as he went far in depth of the procedure, how he was doing what, etc…. Right down to it, by the end I couldn’t think of one single question to ask as he had covered everything. He even draws diagrams based on your body type on paper to physically show you what he does which is great to see. After the consult I was sure he was the one. Well they didn’t think it hey had any dates open until August which would have been terrible timing as we have a vacation, kids starting school, etc… so again, I was bummed. I decided I wanted him to matter what so I would just have it when I could so I called the office to pay the deposit and she actually told me they had an opening for MAY 31st! I couldn’t believe it, perfect timing and k would be mostly healed by summer. It was a little sooner than we planned for but we made it work and I am so grateful to Dr. Barnthouse and his impeccable office staff. They truly gave me my life back after being so unhappy for so many years

Dr. Barnthouse is amazing. He listened to me from my wants to my concerns and never made me feel silly for having concerns. His consult was very thorough and I left with all my questions answered. His staff is great too! And the best part.my results were terrific! Go see this doctor you won't be disappointed!

Dr Barnthouse is very professional and a great surgeon. I had a breast augmentation 17 yrs ago and just recently had a breast lift with replacement of implants. He listens to what your wanting and the outcome you want. His office Staff is very helpful and nice.

I have always had the best results and most professional care for cosmetic procedures at this office. Knowledgeable staff that listen to my concerns, likes and dislikes, then guide me to what will work best on my skin. I’ve shopped around and this is the most consistent level of professionalism and quality of service that will continue to get my business.

AMAZING! Him, Wendy, the surgical staff; everyone I dealt with was absolutely AMAZING! Leaps and bounds better than my previous experience with Dr. Frederico Gonzalez out of Premier Plastic Surgery 15 yrs ago. **THANK YOU, Dr. Barnthouse! **

Dr. Barnthouse has a wonderful bedside manner. I never felt rushed or misinformed. I clearly knew all details including all pricing! I love great communication!

He WILL do my tummy tuck! 100%

Dr. Barnthouse is so professional and caring. I was so impressed with the care I was given. The staff are so wonderful. From the first visit to every follow-up after my surgery they were so attentive to my healing. I highly recommend them to anyone thinking of having plastic surgery or reconstructive surgery.

Would not recommend.
Pre-op was great. Dr.took a lot of time to explain the procedure. Which was why I chose him because he seemed very knowledgeable and confident.
Post-op was the problem. There was no bedside manner, never saw him while in recovery before leaving. It was very obvious I was not healing correctly and my concerns were not taken seriously. I was told to "give it time to heal" even though I was several weeks out and should be returning to semi-normal activity. There was no compassion from your office. 15 months later and still just as uncomfortable and was not given any help to fix it when I returned for an opinion. Everything "looks normal" to him when it clearly is not. Referred on to another doctor and no request to stay in the loop for results from further testing I will need to do to figure out the issue. Overall I found him to be "old and cold. "

Dr. Barnthouse is amazing! A true professional with a heart, one of a kind. His work is so incredible. I've sent several of my clients and friends who love and trust him as well.

Dr Barnthouse and staff were always caring and very nice and always made sure if I had any questions they were answered.

Great experience. He knew exactly what I wanted. He took the time and explained my breast augmentation in detail.

Dr. BarntHouse is an amazing doctor. He is very transparent and professional. I felt safe and secure through the entire process. After my procedure him as well as my recovery nurse called to check on me several times. I will always go to Dr. BarntHouse. I’m so in love with my results.thank you sooooooo much ️

He is the best! Wendy did a treatment for me & she is kind, caring & professional! Everyone in his office is amazing!

I had a great experience with Dr. Barnthouse, Wendy, and Adrienne. I was very happy with their customer service/bedside manner and I am very happy with my results. HIGHLY recommend Dr. Barnthouse.

I spent a significant amount of time doing research before selecting the right surgeon. Everything that I discovered online and in conversations with local providers (I’m a provider myself) and friends turned out to be true about Dr. Barnthouse! In addition to his ability to really listen and understand what I was asking for, he and his staff are incredibly friendly, light-hearted and exceptionally organized. Not one hiccup. Not one! Ease of scheduling, methodical pre-op instructions with pre-filled meds, the surgery center and the day of surgery were outstanding, and follow-up was timely and personalized. Dr. Barnthouse is a gift to the KC community! Do not hesitate to set up a consultation. He’s so sought after that I had to wait nearly 4 months. Turns out he is well worth the wait!

Dr. J. BARNTHOUSE is an amazing surgeon! He is caring and thorough regarding the plans for surgery. He is realistic about expectations and results of any procedure so there are no surprises. I highly recommend him,

Dr. Barnthouse was excellent every step of the way. Very attentive, friendly and considerate. I would recommend him to anyone.

I'm so pleased with the results of the tummy tuck, diastasis recti repair and lipo that Dr. Barnthouse performed. I'm 62, a mother of three adult children and two grandchildren. I had three c-sections years ago (1988,1990 and 1992) since my babies were all over 9 lbs each and two were breech. Despite working out for years, the c-sections, age and gravity were not in my favor. Although I'd gotten a consult years ago for a tummy tuck, I'd always been hesitant to go thru with it because it's such a major surgery. Dr. Barnthouse was very thorough in his explanation of the procedure and the recovery process. Everything went very well.my abs look amazing and I couldn't be happier!
