Barabas Ronald's Online Review Report Card

We found Dr. Barabas to be an incredible neurologist. We had gone through a high risk pregnancy and everything seemed normal until our 2 year old son was holding his head in pain. We were amazed at the thoroughness and time spent in conducting a detailed physical and neurological exam. His calm demeanor was a total complement to his professionalism and his diagnosis explanation in layman's terms was refreshing and informative. In the end his diagnosis was spot on. No more headaches. Great Dr

Dr. Barabus took a lot of time to meet with our son and then to fully explain all of the issues that were presented. We have found him to be very astute and a good diagnostician. He is not an alarmist and we have found his advice to be very helpful. I would highly recommend him! I do agree that he is rarely on time for the appointments but since he spends so much time discussing things with you, we feel that is not a big issue.

I agree with other review. Was most concerned with my sons head size when it's been normal and his pediatrician never was concerned. Accused me of not getting control of my child & likelihood of Tourette syndrome unlikely. After a full year of tics, I researched & found all behavior issues are related to Tourette syndrome. It was like he didn't even understand the disorder, I'm in the field of children & his bedside manner was horrible.

In short this is the only doctor I have ever felt compelled to leave negative feedback against. The doctor was a full 35 minutes late for the appointment despite us arriving 15 minutes early to do all of the paperwork in advance. His mannerism was awful, going so far as make fun a patients head size and lack of balance (this is NOT a joke). And the treatment went 30 minutes longer than I was told. Finally the doctor accused me of being irrationally angry. Of course I was upset. you would be too.

My daughters appointment with Dr Barabas was great...the staff was very friendly and helpful. I see another review on here that wasn't very good. Everyone has their opinions, but they also have to understand that a neurologist has a different way of expressing themselves. They are too busy pinning down the problem to have much personality themselves. He was very thorough and direct. He points out issues, which some people may not like, but oh well...its the truth...I had a very pleasant experience...just wanted to give the office some credit, especially since I saw this bad write up...I highly trust him...Annnddd would definitely recommend him :)

Avoid this Doctor.

Not a good Doctor. Find someone better for your child. He is lucky to be one of the few Child Neurologists in this area of NJ. He is booked b/c there is nobody else to go to, but that does not indicate that he is a great doctor.
