Performed an unnecessary membrane sweep without my consent while I was 37 weeks. Seems to minimize anything I had problems with.

I would not trust him ! He has a thing for cutting women wide open! He “checks” women before their due date and send them into early labor (unconstitutional membrane sweep) and then deems it necessary to c-section mothers that never needed a c-section other wise. I know many women who have the same story after seeing him.

Completely careless. Was not like any gyn visit I have ever been to. I felt very awkward after the visit.

Dr.Barrow performed my cesarean and did such a wonderful job. He is very professional and cares about his patients' well being and health. I will be continuing to use him as my OB and will definitely recommend him to family and friends.

Dr Barrow did my cesaran. The surgery was very complicated because of my other surgeries before. Everything went great and he did manage my pain appropriately unlike the other reviewer talked about. Some of us don't need a bunch of pain pills i guess.

A few days after his c-section performance, I was left on my death bed in ICU. He could not have cared less. He would not help manage my pain. A different ob performed the second surgery and I was placed on a wound vac for several weeks. Barrow prescribed a very weak pain medication, when I told him I'm in excrusaying pain he suggested I take ibuprofen. I went back to him 5 months later because I was STILL having issues and had questions and he was VERY RUDE with his answers.

Dr. Barrow took me as a patient at the end of my pregnancy when I couldn’t use my regular OB. He was able to get me a same day apt in his clinic, and delivered my twins that weekend, when they showed up a little earlier than expected. He is friendly, caring, and my husband and I were extremely impressed at how good an experience we had overall. Talking to the nurses during my admission, he has a wonderful reputation at the hospital, and they all love him. Wonderful surgeon, couldn’t be happier with my experience.
