Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Severe left arm pain, I was able to get an appointment fast. I was seen shortly after arriving. Dr. Barth did both carpal tunnel surgery successfully. Very pleasant and through explaining everything in a way that I could understand what was going on. I would highly recommend him.

An Outstanding Doctor
He listens and very clearly explains the prognosis. He gives realistic expectations, encourages the patient to keep progressing though physical therapy, and explains possible outcomes. He is a role model for doctors to follow.

An Orthopedic Surgeon who talks to you!
Many of us know the reputation of orthopods for a bad “bedside manner.” They come into the room—late—and pronounce and look for an exit; your questions are a hindrance. This doc isn’t like that. He knows his stuff and cares enough so you’ll feel the same way.

Efficient, knowledgeable, kind and compassionate
Dr. Barth’s staff knew I had a plane to catch and quickly took x-rays and Dr. Barth evaluated my elbow and then the x-rays, gave me his diagnosis and next steps, and assured me I should heal just fine if I followed the guidelines. It was a great experience overall and i highly recommend Dr.Barth and his practice.
