He’s a no nonsense kind of guy that seems to know what he’s talking about. That’s why I drive two hours to see him rather than twenty minutes to Alpena.

Dr. Barry's office is fine. My problem is that he wants a bone scan that is now scheduled for a month away. How on earth am I supposed to wait a month? I am in EXTREME PAIN!!! Why didn't we do a bone scan the day before my appointment when we did x-rays?

Mar 19, 2025
What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Trust his process ! with extensive X-rays but I had no idea that his X-rays would show me stuff that most normal drs of this type do not do. He did this to be able to show me how bad my osteoarthritis was. he does several different views so he can show you so you clearly understand what is really going on why you’re in pain also, I would say that before you just listen to a surgeon you get a 2nd opinion because Ialmost did listen to a surgeon and go through a procedure because no one had mentioned that the reason you wait three months from the Cortizone shot to do surgery is because it increases your risk of complications . Please go to him. I am telling you because I’m not one to trust doctors in this one is a 100 out of ten Plus, the office is excellent very nice. Very patient especially if you’re an anxious patient they know how to deal with that.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Maybe a good surgeon, but as a person, thumbs down. My dog received better after care from the vet. Had my pre test weeks before surgery and minutes before surgery informed me that it looked like I had pneumonia. Forgot to schedule physical therapy, so I was a week behind. No one calls to check and see how you’re doing. Your left feeling like a number on an assembly line.

Dr.Hoard takes the time to explain any questions I may have,he is a very caring Dr. and doesn't make you feel rushed through.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Dr. Holst takes his time to review all options with you. He did research outside of the appointment to try and help me as best as he could. He has been patient and wants to try whatever he can to get you feeling better. I couldn't be more thankful to have a doctor who listens and you can see he genuinely wants to help.
