Dr. Barry Howard Usow, MD

I had surgery my father had surgery and my fathers friend had surgery all of us were in our 40's when we had surgery that was the end our sex lives after his surgery. Dealings with other doctors after the surgery they were all surprised that the surgery caused the loss of sexual function it was not normal. Considering he was in his 50's at that time he should have been at the prime of his skills. Do not let this man do surgery in your equipment.

Pre surgery visit was 10 min. I asked a couple questions, he asked if I had any more. Told me a few things I had read in the literature in the exam room while waiting for him. Offered no other info. Charged me and my insurance $300. Fully a waste of my time and money. During surgery: operating room was uncomfortably cold. He was distant and alloof. Perhaps he sows a good knot but otherwise seemed rough and a bit ham-handed considering the parts he was working with. There was a complication during surgery he did not discuss with me during or after surgery. After the surgery, in recovery, he wouldn't come within 20 feet of me. Spoke AT me from across the room. I felt totally dismissed. 6 months after surgery complications set in. Pain, swelling, sexual dysfunction. Usow examined me. He implied that the dysfunction was psychological, told me to take Advil for the pain. Povided no further insight or suggestions or game plan for discovery of cause of pain and swelling. Symptomatic approach… to health care. I felt I wasted another 2 hours at his office. He scheduled me to come back 2 weeks later.
