Steven Barna, MD

As a 72 year old with multiple health issues, and having experienced way to many specialists, I could almost consider myself as an expert at rating doctors!! Dr. Barna is a very professional, 5 star, intelligent, concerned, caring, interacting, and the very best specialist I have had the honor being a patient of!! He took the time to discuss my issues and previous experiences. He then took the time to explain his diagnosis and what options were available medically, economically and potentially the possible results of each. The procedures that Medicare required were discussed, agreed upon, and undertaken. Then a Radiofrequency ablation (rhizotomy) facet joint procedure was performed. He had explained before that it would possibly last close to a year, which it did. Then as allowed the second procedure was done with fantastic results again. The unbearable pain which I endured for so many years is completely gone. I was completely prepared with the information he and his staff suggested that I bring with me for each visit. His assistant Carlos Guzman has been extremely helpful with every conversation, what an asset to the entire team!

Dr. Barna is an amazing, compassionate doctor with great bed side manner. He takes his time to get to know you and listen to your concerns. I first saw him in 2016 for back pain and continue to see him for my neck and back to this day. His range of knowledge and expertise on different methods and approaches to help you, compare to none. Thank you Dr. Barna!

I never thought I'd be out of pain but I am thanks to Dr. Barna! I've seen so many doctors but Florida Orthopedics gave me the correct diagnosis and it's hard to believe but the disabling pain I was in is gone! It's been a month since my nerve ablations and I feel better every day. I couldn't be happier with the results. Dr. Barna is very intelligent and caring and a great doctor!

I Highly recommend Dr. Barna. Not only did Dr. Barna figure out why I was in so much pain, he also got me out of pain! The steroid shots were only effective for a short time so I had the nerve ablation procedure. Waking up the next morning and being out of pain was remarkable and amazing. The procedure itself was comfortable and the outpatient services at Florida Orthopedics are outstanding. To be out of cronic pain is a gift. I am very grateful to Dr. Barna!

Dr. Barna treats me for pain management due to a disc issue. I have had numerous injections. Dr. Barna is not only a good doctor but his bedside manner and professionalism is second to none. His assistant, Carlos, helps to make sure all goes well and you could not be in better hands. He is an excellent doctor.

Dr. Barna went into great detail to explain my initial MRI. He never discounted/disregard my issue and I really appreciated it. His concern led to additional scans of the surrounding area of my moderate to severe pain. A correlating issue between the thoracic and cervical spine was identified. These next few days/weeks will only tell but, I feel comfortable and confident with his approach. His entire office staff (S/N Tampa Offices) have been nothing short of professional and courteous.
