Barry S. Kraushaar's Online Review Report Card

I was in need of a partial knee replacement due to arthritis and Dr Kraushaar identified the issue, recommended surgery and did a spectacular job. I'm performing all my regular activities including horseback riding, gardening and yoga. I don't even think about my knee when before the surgery it was a daily struggle. I would recommend this doctor (and do) to anyone in need of a knee replacement.

I’ve been going to Dr. Krashuuar for different ailments, I should be put in bubble wrap ( haha). Each time I have seen him , he has treated me with respect, always listens to my concerns and fears, explains everything to me (not medical terms). If I ever have a problem, I know I could always call the office and he will get back to me. My lasted stint with Dr. Krashuuar was a hip replacement, I am doing Awesome! It’s been a little over 2 months and putting a lot of miles on it. I am so Happy and fortunate that he could do this for me. Dr. Krashuuar is great & i will continue to see him when needed, and recommend to family & friends!

Recently referred toDr Barry he has been ok so far . Let’s see how it goes

I broke my wrist in a car accident. I was recommended to see this doctor. He tormented me that day as he pinned my had up and physically tried to push my bones back in place. I was sobbing, and pleaded for him to stop.,He ignored my distress and continued as if he was a mad man. Afterwards he had the nerve to ask if we were Good!! He put my arm in a cast in which I left and complained to staff about what took place. They told me to talk to him. I couldn’t get out of there soon enough.Two days later, I personally took off the cast due to enormous pain. Went to another doctor who told me a cast would had left me deformed. I had my surgery yesterday by another doctor, and I’m feeling a lot better already. This doctor is a fake. He has no real skills, and I feel sorry the people who place their hope in him. I will never forget what he put me through, and he’s lucky according to my attorney that we couldn’t sue him. Please do yourself a favor, and stay away from this guy!!!

I was recommended to see this  doctor for  my broken wrist. He missed Diagnosed me. My arm was fractured in multiple places. He threw a cast on and sent me home. Thank God I found a competent Doctor who successfully performed my surgery and actually is a hand specialist.  Dr. K called me angry after I wrote my review on Google. Guess he's Racist too!!!

Had MRSA staph that was misdiagnosed at hospital. Had many complications. Refused to go to court for compensation. Took 6 years for me to get range of motion. After 14 years still don’t have full range. Would never recommend or go to practice every again

Horrible experience. Doctor did not listen carefully or thoughtfully. Made dismissive remarks.

Dr. Kraushaar was really thorough. I'm so happy Nicole, my Physical Therapist from IvyRehab, recommended him! He did a ton of special tests and made sure we figured out exactly what was going on with my knee. I would recommend Dr. Kraushaar to anyone! Thanks for taking the time with me and making sure we had a game plan in place to address my knee pain.

I had heard what a great surgeon Dr. K is but he is also a great diagnostician! I went to him for a second opinion after another orthopedist said I needed knee surgery. While removing fluid from my knee he knew something else was going on. He sent me for a couple of tests, including Lyme disease. This turned out to be the problem I had been having for months. Thank you again Dr. Kraushaar! I will be back when my arthritis really needs to be addressed.

It is my pleasure to write this recommendation for Dr. Kraushaar and his team. Late one Friday afternoon, in September 2020, I shattered my elbow in a bicycle accident. The local ambulance company advised me to call Dr. K. Dr. Kraushaar graciously kept his facility open to accommodate my late arrival. He took x-rays and braced my arm alleviating much of the pain. A few days later, he operated on me, reattaching the elbow with a bracket and screws. His team was friendly and answered all of my questions. For the next few months, I returned to his facility every few weeks where his PA, Andrew, monitored my progress. Andrew, like Dr. K. is very friendly and very professional. I went to physical therapy for the interim. The PT and Andrew communicated with each other regularly. On February 4th, 2021 Dr. K. removed the bracket. Today, February 12th, Andrew removed the staples. Within a few months, I expect to make a full recovery. I have singular appreciation for Dr. Kraushaar, Andrew, and the rest of the team. If anyone would like to speak with me personally, please contact me via Dr. Kraushaar to whom I give my permission to give out my contact information.Dr. Joel M. Berman; PhD

Dr. Kraushaar did an amazing job on my sisters knee! He is a true blessing. Prior to surgery she was unable to navigate stairs successfully. She was also unable to work out or enjoy walks with her family. Currently, she is out and about, taking daily walks and ended the year with a 41.1 pound weight loss. Thank your Dr. Kraushaar for giving my sister the gift of pain free movement! Hats off to you for all your dedication and compassion.P.s. No one believes the 1 star reviews! Keep fixing people in 2021 we are grateful for your service!

I read the reviews, did my homework and felt comfortable trusting dr Kraushaar when I had a problem with my hip. He misdiagnosed me, performed a surgery he thought would fix the problem, told me he “saved” my hip and sent me on my way to an even more incompetent rehab. I knew something was wrong after the surgery. I was in incredible pain, and when I told the dr, I was told to give it time. But after months of healing and rehab, I finally went back for another mri and was told that the surgery didn’t fix the issue. In fact I was told after losing almost 2 years to this issue, that I’d need a hip replacement. Moral of the story, if you have any serious hip or joint issue, go to HSS in Manhattan. They helped me on day one, diagnosed with an X-ray and simple examination. I was told that no surgery other than a hip replacement would help me. I had the surgery and walked out of the hospital the next day, completely pain free. No thanks to dr Kraushaar. ***UPDATE*** Dr. Kraushaar's response is completely ridiculous. He did not properly diagnose the condition I had, and never told me I would eventually need a replacement. He misdiagnosed me and performed a surgery that cost me another year of pain and loss of mobility. Throughout my rehab, I communicated my continued pain and symptoms, he told me to give it time. He never diagnosed my actual condition which was hip dysplasia, which any doctor would tell you that performing a labrum repair surgery on a hip that is malformed will not work.

Dr Kraushaar is always responsible and professional. He answers all my questions patiently and explains things in layman’s terms.I have never waited more than a day or two for an appointment and Dr Kraushaar is quite prompt. I’ve never waited more than 10 minutes to be seen.Dr Kraushaar tried everything possible to help me to avoid surgery but it’s now the only option. I have every confidence in his ability as a surgeon and I’m looking forward to eventually being pain free .Dr Kraushaar was recommended to me by a medical student who “shadowed” him and said that Dr Kraushaar is the surgeon he would choose for himself if he needed orthopedic surgery.My experiences with this doctor have been positive. I find him friendly, funny and very accessible.

Great surgeon and lovely person. Who could ask for more??

Dr. K is amazing... I’m a patient who’s a chicken to the core about needles; the very sight of them makes me skirmished.....today I got not one but two (one in each knee) and I didn’t even feel the pinch on either one.....thanks Dr. K.

A very positive experience- Dr. Kraushaar is an accomplished doctor who remains accessible to his patients, listening attentively and clearly explaining treatment options. Office staff helpful and efficient-no long wait times on hold when calling. Northeast Orthopedics uses a patient portal so you can easily see your past therapies and progress notes. A seamless operation-highly recommended.

Dr. Kraushaar performed a bilateral knee replacement, and 2 weeks post op I was walking on my own! He’s an excellent surgeon who doesn’t rush you, and his assistant Andrew is terrific. Highly recommend him!

Excellent doctor addressed alternative options easy to understand , gracious and knowledgeable.

Was there a few days ago for my 2 wrists and shoulder. Front desk lady was great. The woman who called me in the back room was pleasant. The xray girl Ann Marie was wonderful. So i see Dr. Kraushaar and all he did was give me a cortisone shot in my right wrist. He leaves me hanging with my left wrist and shoulder. No kidding. LOL. I said to him how about some muscle relaxers for my nagging shoulder he said no. So i drove over to CityMD and they gave me a prescription and my shoulder is feeling better already. As for my left wrist I made a appointment with another orthopedic. In my opinion this Dr. Kraushaar was worthless. I call it the way I see it. Also,the checkout girl was horrible. She was a young black girl with a attitude.

Dr. Barry Kraushaar is a great doctor and diagnostician. During our initial consultation with him he actually took the time from his busy schedule to conduct an extremely comprehensive analysis of the history, symptoms and treatments done before we met with him. My daughter inured her left knee during a soccer tournament - we had seen 13 previous doctors, had 4 MRIs done and not one of them could properly diagnose the issue or figure out how to solve her medical issue. After trying some less invasive options, he successfully performed her knee arthroscopy in December, 2019.  Dr. Kraushaar found the issue which could not be detected by an MRI - his in-depth knowledge and vast experience coupled with a great deal of logic and brilliant problem-solving skills is what made the difference in my daughter's life.  After being in pain every day since 6/28/2017, Dr. Kraushaar restored her quality of life which is immeasurable.
