William Barrick's Online Review Report Card

No bedside manner, not personable, not quite happy with him

Dr. Berrick, is a very busy doctor , but when you meet him he gets right to the issues. He gives his opinion and his valuation then and there,does not beat around the bush. I value that due to the fact that i have been waiting around for almost 7 years to elevate the nightmare of constant pain and i now have hope I am getting closer to resolving what may be the answers. Bless you Dr. Berrick and many many thanks

Dr barrick helped me out a lot he performed emergency surgery on my hand and did an amazing job great doctor he knows his stuff his staff was pleasant as well best doctor at orthopedic associates

Dr. Barrick recently preformed irrigation surgery on my hip to flush out an near fatal infectious disease. He is an expert in his field with more than 40 years of experience. The surgery was a success. I highly recommend him.

While I have not personally been treated by Dr. Barrick, it is only because I have the misfortune of living too far away in North Jersey to travel to his office. I was a college classmate of the doctor’s and can’t emphasize enough that he was brilliant, with notable participation in every course we shared. I further recall his being accepted to several impressive medical schools when other students were struggling to get into any in the USA. Having observed Dr. Barrick’s genius and dedication to his studies, had I the necessity and opportunity, I would trust my fate to his hands and look beyond the warm and fuzzy.

was warned by many health care professionals that Dr. Barrick was rude and knife happy. Quoted as say likes his patients unconscious. I had an initial appointment with him in spring 2020. He was rude fast talking confusing and not willing to listen. He physically hurt me as he did his rushed half hearted checklist of an exam. He refused to listen to complaints of pain in multiple parts of body ( shoulder, hip, foot) Said one at time and focused on my lower back which I had no complaint of . He immediately started talking surgery and ordered MRI and other tests. My next visit he saw no real surgery option need or to justify him getting paid for and I becamed a bother, he offered random experimental surgeries or nothing, and with test proven nerve damage I was told too bad nothing for that . I followed through on his treatment plan of physical therapy and Gabapentin that he gave me obviously just to get rid of me . I returned 6 month later after his treatment plan was not working and had caused further nerve damage to my leg and foot . He told me he does do feet and again offered experimental painful surgeries if I kept bugging him . He was belligerent, rude , condescending, he did not only refuse to listen or answer questions, but spoke over me as I tried to ask for referals or guidance other than surgery or contraindicated interventions. I asked him to stop yelling and he continued . I was forced to redress in front of him to leave room and appointment . His nurse followed apologizing about him and behavior as it is his normal. He is a horrible knife happy doctor . Who steamrolls patients into surgeries . He needs to be investigated and I bet there are many victims out there .

Dr. Barrick recently did a lumbar spine surgery on me that went exceedingly well. No more pain radiating down my leg. I am totally pain free after seven weeks. I stumbled on Dr. Barrick and decided to have him do my surgery after one visit to him. I believe that God guided me to him because He knew I needed a skilled doctor who is at the top of his game to do my surgery. Thank you Dr. Barrick for a job well done. If you are looking for a spine surgeon, I recommend you visit Dr. Barrick. The best!

60+ minute wait; Incredibly rushed; Spoke WAY too fast; Poor bedside manner; Not empathetic; Was able to get in last-minute for an emergency. He read my MRI accurately and gave me the PT referral I needed, but was not helpful in recommending aggressive care for a young, active patient. I would not feel comfortable returning for a consultation, let alone going under the knife.
