Dr. Scott D Barkin

Great visit, he’s very concerned with my appointment needs and explained all my options in plain English

My appoint was for 1:15pm. I arrived at 12:45pm, as instructed. I began to fill out what has to be the largest stack of "new patient" paperwork I've ever seen in my life - but I did. While filling out the paperwork, the receptionists were discussing how much better they are at bowling when they're drunk. Very professional staff. Finally, I was escorted back, where I had to give a urine sample (for what reason, exactly, I don't know). Then I was led to a room, where I sat for a solid hour. No interaction with anyone. No updates saying he was running behind - nothing. Finally, I left. As I was walking past the reception desk, I tried to stop and let them know I was leaving. Whoever was there was talking to another nurse, and when that conversation ended - she told me to wait. Well, no, not waiting any longer. I'm leaving. I'm not entirely sure she could have given less of a rat's behind. Now, for whatever reason, maybe he heard me leaving, the doctor comes around the… corner and says he can see me now. Well, gee, thanks pal, but I need to go back to work since you kept me waiting so long. He then appeared "offended" when I said I couldn't wait any longer and left. Now, I will say, my interaction with the *actual doctor* was almost non-existent, so I can't be sure if the problem lies with him, or just the office staff. Either way, his staff reflects on him, and vice versa. Moral of the story - find another doctor.

Dr Barkin was my stepfather’s assigned urology Physician in St Ann’s Hospital. He was very knowledgeable and explained his situation to him & my mother. He ended up having to have a kidney stone removed with other admitting diagnoses. Surgery went well and quite relieved to know that they can return to their home in New Mexico.

I was referred to Dr. Scott Barkin by my GP. He had attended med school with him and said he was the best. He removed a tumor from my bladder 14 yrs ago and I've been worry free. He is an outstanding and caring Doctor. I still see him a couple times a year for a Prostrate problem and he is always knowledgeable and caring. I would recommend him to anyone searching for the best.

I think Dr.Barkin is a very good dr. If it hadn't been for him I would not have gotten the help I needed, he sent me to Cleveland Clinic for a second opinion because when the path came back neg. he knew it wasn't correct after seeing the mass, he knew it was cancer. I am very thankful that I had a Dr. that knew what he was doing. If it hadn't been for Dr. Barkin the outcome might have been a lot different.

Dr. Barkin has been a wonderful doctor for us for many years. His diagnosis and treatment plans are top-notch. His compassion and caring for us as patients is unparalleled. I would highly recommend him to anyone. You cannot find a better one that Dr. Barkin. Our experience has been wonderful.
