Elize A.
I had the best experience with doctor Handler today! This doctor is very professional and is truly an expert at what he does. He had wonderful bedside manner at the surgical center and answered all my questions. His office staff is also amazing. I definitely recommend this doctor to anyone. Thank you Dr Handler and his staff, and to all the people at the scripps mercy Surgical Pavilion. So it has been a few days since my surgery i couldn't be any happier with my results. I recommend this doctor 100% thank you doctor Handler.

As a physician myself, I greatly appreciate Doctor Handler's compassion and clinical skills. He is dedicated to his patients and their concerns. I consulted him for treatment of a malignant lesion on my ear lobe, which he removed with a very satisfactory cosmetic result. Highly recommended.
DENISE L.
Excellent Doctor. Very patient with questions, polite, thoughtful. He has been my doctor for about 8 years. During that time, he has treated me for fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, broken capillaries, irregularly shaped moles, eyelash enhancement, lip enhancement, a severe burn, and a scar on my face. He is well versed in dermatology, liposuction, and laser hair removal, as well as plastic surgery. Dr. Barry also works as an emergency room on-call surgeon during his off hours. Set aside some extra time for your appointment as he is very thorough and will discuss all aspects of your treatment and what to expect. I highly recommend Dr. Barry and his staff. The office is serene and the appointment is always a pleasure.
AUDREY D.
Dr. Handler is the best doctor I have ever used from how he handled my Tram Flap surgery,my after care and all the follow up needed. He is a wonderful, compassionate, caring and highly skilled surgeon. His Nurse Amy is awesome too!
DJ B
Highly recommended. Very professional, great personality, and skilled surgeon! Had multiple lipomas removed in-office and was very pleased with the outcome. He used minimally sized cuts to reduce long term scarring. Was very nervous about finding the right surgeon for fear of abdominal scarring and can't say enough good things.
KAREN D.
For several months, Dr. Handler has been treating me for a problem that originated with another doctor's office. He has been exceptional. I would recommend highly.

Personable and humorous doctor. His staff are respectful and kind as well. I was personally satisfied by the results of him closing up my piercing holes, and am returning in the future for a few more procedures. After recently having a bad experience with an unrelated dermatologist and his staff, it was a nice change to be treated by Dr. Handler at his office.

D. SMITH
My father is a retired plastic surgeon and associate professor of plastic surgery at UCSD and needed a little stitching on the side of his ear. He called Barry and Barry met him at the office and took care of the suturing and did such an excellent job that my dad was very impressed with the skills of dr. Handler. We would recommend dr. Handler for any type of plastic surgery needs.
HOLLY G.
Dr. Handler and staff are absolutely the best! The staff members are extremely friendly and professional. Dr. Handler takes his time at every appointment and makes sure that I understand the treatment plan. Instead of rushing me into surgery, he explained that for my situation patience is the key. This has proven to be correct. I highly recommend this surgeon.
CAMERON R.
Dr Handler seems very intelligent and good at what he does. I went to see him today for a consultation. I'm still thinking all of my procedures through to make sure that I'm making the right decision. But I can honestly say that if I am to go forward with the plastic surgery, I will be considering him for the job.
VANESSA E.
Another great visit with Dr Handler and he's assistant Amy. Had my drains out after explant. Dr Handler is very kind answers all my questions and I never feel any pressure from him towards my explant or future surgeries himself and Amy have been of great assistance to me. And I'm excited to say I can't wait for my future surgery with Dr. Handler

I am a senior who is pleased that I chose Dr. Barry Handler for my recent facial surgery. I had done my homework and knew his education and his credentials were the best. He is an artist and an engineer--who treats patients like potential friends. A week after surgery I love the results on my face: minimal swelling, and no bruise marks. My spouse says I look "healthy and younger." Dr. Handler is fabulous and so is his able assistant, Amy.
SUE R.
Dr Barry is amazing! Someone had highly recommended him for breast implant removal, and now I'm doing the same!! His staff were all great too. Absolutely nice people. Very genuine. I had my silicone breast implants removed under local anesthesia. I went in on a Monday for a consultation then Tuesday for the procedure. The doctor allowed me to listen to my own music and wear an eye mask. He was super nice and talked to me the entire time. His nurse Amy was a Godsend too. She held my hand the entire time. I had drains placed which stayed there for a week. If you're looking to have your breast implants removed, go see Dr. Handler!!

Dr. Handler is a genuine, caring and honest Plastic surgeon. He will never over sell you and will send you away if he feels you truly don't need what you are asking for. Don't get me wrong, if you insist you want a procedure and he can perform it safely with your best interest in mind, he will do it, but if you ask his for his honest and professional opinion, he will give it to you! I have visited Dr. Handler for several procedures, and every single time, he exceeds my expectations. I ask him about other doctors I have heard of and he has zero apprehension to praise those who do terrific work. To me, that speaks volumes in regards to his character as well as his confidence as a medical professional. He doesn't feel the need to put down others in his field, his work speaks for itself. Dr. Handler makes "growing old gracefully" seamless!

Dr. Handler and his Assistant Amy are a perfect team and I felt relieved they cared so much about my laser procedure yesterday. Dr. Handler really takes time to explain everything, from the science to the results. I would recommend this physician and staff to anyone!
