I met with Dr. Barkoh and he was attentive and genuine with his care. I highly recommend Dr. Barkoh. The check-in process was OK. There's a large waiting room. I recommend Orthopedic Associates.

I accompanied my husband to his appointment, and he had an appointment with Dr. Kaku Barkoh. We sat…read morein the waiting room forever and when we got to the back we sat even longer. It was hot in the room we are in, and my husband has a condition where heat makes him sick on top of the spinal issues he has. He had to walk out and ask if he was being seen and was greeted by Dr. Barkoh with a very short unapologetic answer. The visit was very rushed, and we left still with questions because he was so short. Lucy, his medical secretary, was also a bit rude in the way she presented herself. This is our first time going through the things we are going through, and she was very short and seemed as if I was a bother when asking questions because there was a language barrier. We scheduled the surgery but decided to back out and see a different provider. We seen a neurosurgeon today and he was excellent. Dr. Barkou and his staff can definitely use some compassion and empathy.

My MRI findings were not meaningfully discussed, and my symptoms were minimized. I did not feel thoroughly evaluated or heard. Patients seeking a detailed spine assessment may want to consider a provider who takes the time to perform a complete exam and review imaging carefully.

After driving an hour and 10 minutes to my appointment I was informed that I owed over $300 that my insurance didn't cover for bills from last year. I was told I had to make a payment toward that. I only had an additional $30 at the time and was told that unless I paid a minimum of $50 extra I could not see the dr. The lady at the desk was completely rude not caring how far I drove just to get there. No one called to tell me I had this bill nor had I ever received a bill saying I owed this money. I again told her several times I could only pay and extra $30 and she still refused to let me see the Dr and would not take my money. I would have NEVER been treated this way by the office in Channelview where I normally go. The Channelview office was not able to see me because the dr is on maternity leave which is why I went all the way to Kingwood. I do not recommend anyone using this place. I have never been so disrespected. Since this occurred yesterday I have attempted to contact the billing office 4 different times and was on hold more than 10 minutes each time even though it said I was at position 1 in the que to talk to someone. I would hope people using this office attempt to go elsewhere for treatment so they are not treated as poorly and inconsiderate as I was. Even the other girls at the front desk did not try to step in and assist me nor did the lady I spoke to bother to talk to the Dr to see if something could be done. If you will check the reviews for this place you will see that others have also had this same experience. I hope that the Dr's see this review and do something about the way the patients are treated by the staff. If your patients owe money or are required to pay an additional amount then we should be notified before coming in so that arrangements can be made. My regular Dr will hear about this when she comes back to work.

(Writing this on behalf of my grandmother who can't figure Yelp out - dictated word for word)…read more On February 19, 2020 Dr. Barkoh performed spinal surgery on C-4 5 6 for advanced myelopathy. It would be hard to relate how satisfied I was with his expertise in handling of a very difficult situation. I had lost the use of my right arm completely and some loss in all three other limbs. To make a long story short, following surgery, I had my right arm use back 90%. I would recommend Dr. Barkoh to anyone with spinal problems. He was very professional and kind and I could not have asked for a better surgeon.

I felt like like he didn't care. This doctor "shocker" shook my hand, sat down, and actually talked to me like a human being like a doctor should. I don't ask for a conversation about life, just make me comfortable and let me ask my questions. He was great and positive. The staff was just okay here. I liked Kingwood's staff a little better but for the doc it's all good. Highly recommended for my two broken feet!
