About

Dr. Joseph R. Barnthouse is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon practicing in Kansas City, Missouri. He specializes in cosmetic and plastic surgery, offering both surgical and non-surgical options. Dr. Barnthouse believes the best treatment, whether skincare, injectables, or cosmetic surgery, is the one that makes an individual feel confident and is right for them. He emphasizes that surgery is not the only method for facial rejuvenation, stating that skin deserves expert care. For body contouring procedures like tummy tucks and body lifts, he aims for smoother, more sculpted results, especially when combined with a healthy lifestyle. Tummy tucks can remove excess abdominal skin and tighten weakened muscles for a defined midsection. He also performs breast augmentation, focusing on increased volume or improved symmetry, and breast reduction to complement a patient's natural frame. Dr. Barnthouse provides advanced skin rejuvenation treatments to reduce fine lines and improve skin tone, alongside minimally invasive Botox treatments.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2025)

$15

Payments

1

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Joseph R. Barnthouse received $15 across 1 payment in 2025. That is in the lower half for physicians here — totals this size are typically meals at sponsored talks. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was Solta Medical, a division of Bausch Health US, LLC.

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
