Barry Landfield's Online Review Report Card

This is clearly a man who is living with an outdated mindset and perceives modern approaches to health as threatening, instead of exciting. Do yourself a favor and unless this appeals to you, go elsewhere.

This Doctor needs to retire. He has no idea what is going on anymore. He can't remember his own shoes left or right. He never understand the questions or new drugs. He is combative and abrupt. Do not bother seeing this doctor. Bad manners and bad knowledge.

Dr. Landfield, and his whole office, are absolutely the best I have come across for many years. Dr. Landfield is friendly, inquisitive, professional, and all of the things we should expect a doctor to be, but, in various places, have gotten used to them not being. He takes time. He asks questions. He offers real, expert, and up-to-date wonderful medical advice and plans. His staff is equally impressive, all of them, but Oralia, in particular, I have found to go above and beyond, at least for me. No wonder this practice was voted by the Pacific Sun as Best in Marin. So grateful to have found them. One cannot do better.

Save yourself the headache. Choose another doctor. The aggravation I went through just to get a prescription filled was insane. I honestly think they just take my messages and throw them away. Now I'm trying to get a renewal for the prescription and the same thing is happening. Absolutely no action and I have to keep calling and calling. I have only been going to them since March 2022 but I'm done with them. On to another doctor.

Dr. Landfield and his associates, including Kimberley Hanf, are a very thorough team. It is a very busy practice, so don't mind waiting: it is well worth it! I have had significant interactions with Dr. Landfield and Kimberley, and they have all been positive.

During my first appointment with Dr. Barry Landfield today, he: - Repeatedly gazed at my bare legs and chest (it was 90 degrees out; I’m wearing mid-thigh length shorts, a tank top and cardigan). - When I told him I’d injured my back from lifting heavy furniture alone, he chuckled and said, “that’s what men are for.” - Per his questions, I told him that the other medical providers I see include ...

During my attempt at a first appointment with Dr. Barry Landfield today, he began asking me why I came in and why I wanted to ask him for referrals for a back doctor and dermatologist. As I gave him my summary of health concerns, Dr. Landfield:- Repeatedly gazed at my legs and chest (it was 90 degrees out; I'm wearing mid-thigh length shorts, a tank top and cardigan). - When I told him I'd injured my back from lifting heavy furniture alone, he chuckled and said, "that's what men are for." - Per his questions, I told him I also see a naturopathic doctor for my gut health and anxiety. Before I could finish my sentence, he asked me why I am "wasting my money" with "quackery." Dr. Landfield then lectured me about "real science." He insisted that my natural supplements like Valerian are "just the same" as prescription drugs. "They're all chemicals," he practically shouted. I responded by saying, "we can agree to disagree on that." He then abruptly stated, "we are incompatible, so you need to go elsewhere." He stood up, opened the medical room door, and asked me to leave his office. One of the first things I noticed was how quickly I felt like we were having a combative argument, just by me simply sharing my health concerns. It was as if Dr. Landfield wanted to shoot down and minimize every concern in order to avoid making a referral or treating each condition himself. It also felt like he wanted to make sure I knew he was the expert in the room, not me or any other providers I work with. My side of the street: I had been waiting over a month for this appointment and was very anxious to get medical attention, especially for my bad sinus infection. As a result, I was a bit anxious. I was also visibly triggered by some of the things Dr. Landfield said, as I imagine showed on my face and posture. However, I was still polite to Dr. Landfield until he announced we were "incompatible" and asked me to leave. This is when I kinda lost it (understandably, in my opinion, but still I hate losing my cool!). I called him a "dickhead." He laughed & said "I've been called a dickhead before." I told him he was unprofessional and to go to hell. He then told his front desk assistant to call the police on me, and yelled at me to "get out and stay out." As if I was a criminal trying to rob his office or something! Completely insane & dehumanizing! To think... that man could have been giving me a pap smear or a medical exam had I stayed! Yikes.He ended the appointment, without providing any medical care, nor referrals, despite paying a $35 copay and billing insurance. My medical group (Meritage in Marin) requires us to register a doctor change 1-2 months in advance, hence why it took me so long to get in to see Dr. Landfield in the first place. Today is June 9. This means the soonest I can see a new Primary Care Physician is July 1 or August 1 in my area. I will now need to visit urgent care for my bad sinus infection and any other health concerns until then. I just hope I can get my needs met.This is clearly a man who is living in an outdated world and perceives modern approaches to health as threatening, instead of exciting. Do yourself a favor and unless this appeals to you, go elsewhere.

Highly unethical. I've had two appointments with this office in the last six months during which I was prescribed medication for a chronic condition. Recently I've made numerous attempts to contact Dr Landfield to refill my prescription. This office has been non-responsive to me and my pharmacist. When I finally got through, I was told that I have to come in for yet another appointment before refilling the prescription. Not only am I now without this vital medicine, but now Dr Landfield is holding my prescription in a clear attempt to make more money through an unnecessary appointment. This is highly unethical and very dangerous. I've had to fine a complaint with the Medical Board of California.

I would give zero stars if I could. But PA Kim is enough to at least earn them 1, EJ if front of house staff and landfield weren’t there she’d earn them 5. Front of office staff is an absolute nightmare. The rudest people ever. The refused to even tell us what the lastest appointment they book is because she was mad I asked for a phone appointment and she refused to tell me on top of saying no becuase land field “doesn’t know us” also his excuse to withhold care. Also with severe pulmonary issues I got covid. The dr. Refused to see me in person (nbd) and when he called me finally 2 days later said “I don’t really know you, you’ll be fine” despite me expressing my significant pre existing pulmonary issues. Needless to say I wasn’t fine and ended up in the ER and the ER doctor was horrified by this idiots response and stated my complications would have been completely avoidable given proper care. Aside from our amazing interactions with Kim, all of our other interactions have gone this way.

This doctor has dementia and should not be in practice anymore. Avoid him and the office staff for your own safety. He is a huge malpractice lawsuit waiting to happen. We had to transfer our files and report him to the medical board of California
