Dr. Barsoum did an excellent job on my hip replacement, but trying follow up with him is very difficult. I get the impression that he spends more time lecturing than spending time following up with patients. Its very hard to make appointments with him, and the last appointment I had with him, I had to wait three (3) hours. Which is completely unacceptable. I was going to leave a note at leave, but would just have to make another appointment, which would be another six month wait, which I couldn't afford. I guess in summary I would have to say Dr. Barsoum is an excellent surgeon but has much to desired when it comes to follow through/up.
