I highly recommend Dr. Stephen Barr. He is kind, understanding, and compassionate. My bilateral hip replacement surgery went beautifully. He is a very meticulous and highly skilled surgeon. He did my right hip and then my left hip six weeks later. Also, his office staff is great and very professional Thank-you.

Steve Barr's assessment and treatment of my daughter's injury was insufficient and thus caused more damage and subsequent surgeries (from a qualified surgeon). He did not order an MRI, even though the signs and symptoms indicated that there was a high potential for soft tissue damage (there was a full tear of a ligament). I was the one who suggested and pushed for the MRI. The office notes in the portal did not match our in-office conversations. I would highly recommend you find a different surgeon as not only did he not help my daughter, he is responsible for making the injury worse! The surgeon who did help my daughter, asked after her surgery, if it was an orthopedic surgeon who did the first procedure as his work was so poor.

Dr.Barr is one of the finest surgeons that anyone could expect to have for their needs. He takes each person and treats them with extreme care and kindness. My wife has had three very significant operations with Dr.Barr and always with great professional care and a caring attitude.
