Previous visits to the Murfreesboro TOA results were to called by the nurse from the waiting area was at least 30 minutes after the appointment time. I arrived for the appointment 15 minutes early so the wait time was 45 minutes. The X-Ray process was prompt. The wait time in the treatment room was 30 to 45 minutes. This appointment treatment room wait time was 35 minutes. The time with Dr. Barrett was the same as other visits - nothing short of terrific. I could not say enough nice comments concerning his treatment of a patient. Highly recommend this doctor.

My consult appointment with Dr Barrett was all that I could hope for. He was well spoken, concise, and able to explain my medical condition and available options in lay terms. His interest in my questions and concerns was evident, and I never felt he was in a rush to finish the appointment. I trust his medical judgment and feel comfortable moving forward to surgery as his patient.

We are fortunate to have someone with his skills. Besides being a great Doc, he is likeable. I had both hips replaced and 8 yrs ago and they are working flawlessly.

He did both my hips and did an amazing job. I had a doctor who refused to do them due to my age even though he said if I was older he would definitely do them. Barrett said they needed to be done and did it. He took great care of me. Very professional and I would refer him in a heart beat.

Have seen Dr. Barrett for several years on a followup basis since knee replacement 8 years ago. Always takes time to explain findings in compassionate and caring manner. I have also recommended his practice to others, and am currently seeing him regarding replacement on my other knee.
