Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep the reviews trustworthy, honest & fair.

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

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

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

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

If I could give zero stars I would.Went to DR. Barkin for a 2nd opinion for my 16 year old who is having back problems. The first thing he said to us is 'why are you here"? He said you already are seeing an orthopedic ,so He then said, I can't do much more for you.Really? The worst DR EVER!!! AVOID. Do not waste your time. I do not know how he is still in business.

Absolutely Awful. I very rarely leave reviews and have never left one for a physician but Dr. Barkin was without a doubt the worst experience that i have ever had in the medical field. I had injured my left knee but there was no structural damage shown in the MRI. He saw me the first time for about 2 minutes and recommended physical therapy and anti-inflammatory pills without even looking at my knee. The physical therapy exercises only made my knee worse for a month and I was in worse pain than before. The 2nd visit was far worse than the first. He barged in the office and started speaking and barely paying attention to my responses. He left mid-evaluation and mid-conversation to talk to someone else. I forced him to look at my knee while he was constantly talking over me and arguing with me. I have never had a medical professional actually get confrontational with me but there's a first time for everything. A horrible experience from a horrible doctor.

0/5 stars if it was possible. Stay far away. I had overexerted my body through overtraining, and he would not look at more than 2 body parts per visit. He cuts you off if you try to explain your medical concerns longer than he can handle (seconds), and he does not give you time to ask any questions (you have to cut him off to say what you have to say). He does not explain what your medical diagnosis(es) is/are, and you can only get a record of his impression etc. if you ask for it at the desk; when I looked at mine, he listed the same body part twice (with different issues: that's not good if someone was going into surgery)! He tries to make the visit as short as possible as though the patient is a number on an assembly line. He denied me an MRI(s) without giving a reason, and I am still limited in my mobility even with multiple months at physical therapy. Please, find a doctor that cares for the patient as a person.
