It was great.
Verified patient
He was in a hurry to move on to his next patient from minute one of my appointment. He asked a few questions but didn’t seem interested in the answers. I had to tell him my history instead of him asking before proposing a treatment. He took a long time to get back to me explain my test results but barely took the time to explain the source of my pain. He told me to make another appointment to discuss it further. Of course, because then i have to pay another copay. My X-rays were normal but he couldn’t tell me why I’m still feeling discomfort. He just rushed through my questions. I was really disappointed.
Very convenient, punctual, and friendly.

Dr. Barkin was so nice and kind. He assessed the issue with my finger and did everything possible to make me feel better. The wait was a little longer than expected for a new patient, but I still would recommend this man for anything orthopedic related. He knows his stuff.
