Barton S. Arthur's Online Review Report Card

I had 2 knee replacements one turned out good Second one he clipped my quadracept muscle and now i have very little use of leg and now i fall alot and have to use walker to get around .I sure would not recommend him to anyone

Excellent physician for knee replacement surgery. He answered all my questions in an easy to understand manner. His demeanor from our first appointment through to my follow up was compassionate and unhurried. I felt I was in very good hands. My surgery success was far beyond my expectations. I would absolutely recommend Dr Arthur to anyone who was seeking a knee replacement.

I was referred by my primary physician for hip pain. After the initial paperwork I was called back promptly and Xrays in just a few minutes. A few minutes later Dr. Arthur came in and asked questions about my pain and did an examination. He showed me the Xrays and the decision was made by me for hip replacement surgery. Dr. Arthur was courteous and professional sharing other possible treatment and told me I could take my time to think it over. I decided to have the surgery and the nurse came in to go over the procedure. My surgery was scheduled for one month after my initial visit. I had a very positive experience.

Saw Dr Arthur for a follow up on an ankle fracture. He’s very professional and answered all of my questions. I highly recommend him.

Very competent surgeon who repaired torn rotater cuff of shoulder. Write down your questions and ask because he doesnt spend alot of time explaining.

Dr Arthur is as inadequate a doctor and surgeon as I’ve ever known. He put a plate and screws in my 94year old mother two weeks ago. She had multiple fractures of the anklelower leg. He then demanded that she walk on the injured leg immediately using 50% weight. None of the therapists in rehab could believe the orders. So much so that they called to verify the orders were accurate. My mother has been in rehab for 10days and the therapists have been making her stand and walk. Yesterday we went for a post surgical appointment only to find the plate and screws have shifted. Dr. Arthur blames it on my mother’s thin bones with no regard to his orders for her to get up and walk immediately after surgery. He set my mom up for total failure. Now he wants to take the hardware out and replace it with an external fixator. Anyone with half a brain wouldn’t consider a fixator for a 94year old. DO NOT EVER USE THIS DOCTOR. Even the nurses in rehab cringe when I speak his name. Yesterday doctor Arthur resplinted my mother’s leg without so much as cleaning it. It had dried blood and dead skin on it and the cotton padding from the original splint was stuck to her leg. I asked him to clean the leg before resplinting and both he and his nurse blew off my request and started wrapping the leg without regard to it’s cleanliness. They spilled wet plaster all over my mother’s clothing and wheelchair. I was appalled. You better believe I demanded to see my mom’s Xrays and I took photos of them. I sent pre post surgical and followup Xrays to 3surgeons in Houston where I live. All 3 were astounded at the orders Dr. Arthur gave for my mother to walk in a fractured ankle . I plan to get my mother as far away from Dr. Arthur as possible. Be forewarned. This man is uncaring in compassionate and a fraud.

At first Dr Arthur seemed to be very interested in my condition. After completing arthroscopic surgery on my knee which I’m still having extreme pain from I arrived at my postoperative appointment to go over what he did and how I’m feeling. I explained to him although I’m taking pain medication from a neck and back surgery the knee was very painful. I also told him that I was taking an inflammatory to reduce the inflammation elevating my knee and icing it down as prescribed. But with all of this treatment I was still in pain. He asked me if I was on pain medication which I already knew that he was aware of. I didn’t need additional medication but needed to know why my knee was still in pain. His answer and I quote “ that’s strange you are in pain more than most. You should take some Ibuprofen I don’t know why you’d be in this much pain”. I felt that he was questioning my sincerity. He said I can offer you some therapy but that’s all I can do. Nothing was accomplished. A wasted pm

I was referred to Dr. A. by my family doctor after cracking my tibia and needing to see an orthopedist quickly. He agreed to see me the next day. He was patient and thorough in examining my ankle and reviewing xrays to be sure there were no other fractures in the foot. He was pleasant and very professional and all my appointments with him over a 6 week span were right on time. He does not kid around but his demeanor suited me very well. I found him to be an excellent provider.

I have seen Dr Arthur several times for bursitis and arthritis. Cortisone shots help a lot and today he gave me great news...no knee surgery is needed. He is easy to talk to and medically conservative which I like.

I went to Dr. Arthur for pain in my hip. He did an xRay diagnosed the problem and gave me a great treatment plan. I found him to be very professional knowledgeable and friendly. I would definitely recommend him.
