What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
My left hip replacement did NOT go according to plan. Not because of Dr. Barry, because of hereditary blood disorder. The man checked on my progress daily! Had to go back in to remove hematoma because of bleeding and LOW hemoglobin numbers. He knew i was scared! He rubbed my wrist while introducing me to the entire team as the Anastasia took over. This doctor is a real doctor!! In it for the patient not the money. I already told my family and friends that it is worth the drive from down state for the excellent care and follow up care! I cannot say enough good about Dr. Barry!! Carl W. Is an exceptional back up PA! Absolutely, the entire staff is a "AAA" rated team! Thank you everyone involved!!
