    Awesome Surgeons & staff. Their ortho surgeons specialize in specific areas. I've unfortunately…read morebroken a few bones, etc. I've had ortho specialist's surgeries by: Dr Arash Aminian (Ortho Foot) Dr. Michael Brage (Ortho Foot/Ankle) Dr Gautam Malhorta (Ortho Wrist/Hand) Patel Dr. Amar A. (Ortho Hand Spec) They were all extremely skilled, especially Dr Brage, (he's no longer there). 2025: Implemented new patient software. Streamlines patient paperwork. Now you can complete paperwork on PC at home. Easier to make an appointments & upon arrival, you can checkin via scanning in your code. Also patient are given a computer tablets to input their new data into themselves while in the waiting room.

    I want to start by saying this review is not a reflection of Dr. Patel--he was wonderful, and I…read moretruly appreciated his care. I only wish he practiced at a different office. Unfortunately, my experience with the office staff has been extremely disappointing and frustrating. I had surgery nearly two weeks ago and am still dealing with pain, yet the office has failed to send the required paperwork to my employer. This has caused unnecessary delays, added stress, and has made an already difficult recovery even harder. I have called, emailed, and texted multiple times with little to no response or follow-through. It is incredibly frustrating to feel ignored when I am simply trying to get something handled that is both urgent and essential. If I had a direct way to contact Dr. Patel, I am confident this would have been resolved by now. Instead, I am left chasing basic support that should have been taken care of without repeated requests. Based on other reviews, this seems to be an ongoing issue, which is even more concerning. All I am asking for is timely communication and follow-up--this should not be this difficult, especially during recovery from surgery.

    I see Dr. Barnhill in his Newport Beach office. I started seeing him in April 2023, I still see him…read moretoday (November 2023). When I first walked into his office, I could barely walk, I could not stand up straight, I was in so much pain, it was debilitating and had affected my life so significantly there were days I couldn't leave my bed. Pain management is a process and it takes a ton of patience. Dr. Barnhill has the patience of a saint. He has systematically addressed every source of pain and resolved it. He is extremely thorough when explaining my procedures. He makes me feel safe. He eases my anxiety. He is an incredible doctor. With my permission he has worked with my care team for the best possible results and most successful long-term solutions. He is standing in the room with me at my exact appointment time, I am never waiting for him. His office is easy to come in and out of and planning my appointments around the rest of my day are very easy because of his punctuality. Elena is incredible. She is his office staff she gets authorizations for procedures on the spot. She goes above and beyond any office worker I have ever dealt with everyone is extremely friendly and I cannot think of enough wonderful things to say about both Dr. Barnhill and Elena. If you are looking for pain management, but you don't know where to start, start with Dr. Barnhill. He will guide you the rest of the way so you can live the rest of your life and leave the pain management journey in his hands. You will not regret it.

    I just went to see Joshua Barnhill today and he was unbelievable. He went waaaaaaay above the call…read moreof duty for a doctor and made sure that I was leaving there with no pain. I cannot begin to fully articulate just how good of a doctor he is. He had to spend his own lunch to drive and get the proper injections for me from another office. Most people would have told me to come back in two weeks. He saw the need and did whatever he had to do to fill that need. He is one of those people that just remind you that there are still really good genuine people with good hearts out there. Today Dr. Barnhill was my hero!
