Dr. Melinda Barker 4854 Haygood Road, Virginia Beach, VA 23455

"Dr barker is extremely rude! Claimed I'm bipolar and didn't even see me in person. Said she would NEVER see me in person unless I took the poison FAKE covid 19 vaxx!! I WILL NEVER PUT THAT POISON IN MY BODY!! How exactly can a Psychiatrist make an evaluation OVER THE PHONE?? Put me on Sertraline for my OCD of washing my hands. Which just made me want to eat 24/7. When I told her I'm stopping it, she said she wouldn't see me anymore. Which was fine by me!!! SHE NEVER SAW ME ANYWAY!!"

"She is direct. Not rude. Knows her medications and will keep trying different ones until the right ones work for you. She calls back within 24 hours if you have an emergency. Always. Front staff is fine....never had an issue. She's just not one for a bunch of nonsense, but neither am I. No problems in 6 years."

"Same issue as other reviews I’m reading… Doesn’t care, called and missed call running from The bathroom not even 30 seconds, now I’m being charged $75 missed apt fee. I refuse to pay this as I called the office, the only option… for 3 days at all Different hours and couldn’t get through till at last, like magic, someone answered! To inform me that I owe the fee, the office staff said they talked to Dr. Barker and she wouldn’t reschedule unless paid and that’s the policy. She also lied and said I would of got her behind all day if she waited… really? Redial 1 min later is setting her busy schedule behind? Sounds like a huge scam and convenient way to just collect $75. Now I’m out medication that extremely helps me function for work and have to find a new doctor. I should of done this a long time ago if I listened to my gut, but limited time and the inconvenience of finding a new doctor kept me going. This is just one of multiple issues I have had since especially COVID. She and nobody there seems to actually care at all."

"MELINDA BARKER is extremely unthoughful insensitive & Unprofessional! She actually just flat out lied to me saying she already spoke with my ins co days ago when she did Not! to protect her own poor reputation, by saying she had already responded to my ins company regarding a A prescription that was supposed to be refilled three days ago for antidepressants, that I was unable to get because of The negligence of this establishment and doctor! when in fact I have documented paperwork from my pharmacy stating She JUST SPOKE with them regarding my medication to resolve issue. I Really wish I had looked at All the poor reviews before getting involved with this extremely UNPROFESSIONAL WOMAN! I Cannot respectively called her a doctor or even a person with any kind of common knowledge of psychology! She has literally told me there is NO help for me!! Who in the world would say that to a person let alone your patient of 3 years, whom you know has had issues with depression! I’ve never felt like she listened to me, everything was robotic with dr. Barker. She does not listen to individuals she’s a pill dispenser and not a very good one at that!!! She needs to go back to school to learn 101 psychology. Everybody is different everybody has different problems not one medication will fix everybody! If she actually listened to her patients perhaps she would know what to prescribe them. I Beg of anyone to stay clear of MS. BARKER for your own sanity, she Will Make you worse in your in head!!"

"I have had many psychiatrists in the past, and only liked two. After my last doctor retired, I never thought I would find anyone to compare. But Dr. Barker has gone far and beyond my expectations. She REALLY cares about her patients. If you follow her treatment plan, you will have found one of the best. I have all the Faith in her that I need. Thank you Dr. Barker for taking such great care of me."
