I am also seeing Dr. Brent Walker since Aug 2022 for pain management associated with my spine. He has amazing compassionate bedside manners and an understanding of the problem as well as taking a very long time to listen & review your case!! His nurses Shelley & Kelly are amazing - kind and thorough, responding quickly to call-backs. Kudos to his scheduler Jennifer also who responds quickly to scheuling needs. I have also seen Kristen Walker the injection nurse for Dr Walker and thought she too was very thorough and compassionate. I have recommended many people to OrthoArkansas. I read the 1 star comments and hope that the office manager can resolve their problems but many are common to other doctors offices. Glad those patients were able to be heard.

Andrew Gunther Cain will not treat your pain. He will try repeatedly to sell you an electroshock…read moredevice, even though you tell him -- repeatedly -- that you are not interested; he won't give you time to answer that you have religious objections to what he's pushing. He'll shove a sales pamphlet at you when you leave, still in pain. BAD ATTITUDE: This man is the rudest, cockiest clinician you'll ever meet. Surgeons such as he often think of themselves as miracle workers, but they are not: Anyone whose daddy has enough money can be trained to do his job. OUTDATED: His approach to patient care is 30 years out of date, as is the technology he describes as "cutting edge." He will interrupt as you are speaking; he is dismissive of your concerns; he shamed me for asking for medication (the simplest, most cost-effective solution); he has underdeveloped social skills and terrible bedside manner. His mullet did not impress me, either. NOT WORTH IT: I waited two weeks to get in; spent two hours in drive time and $20 in gas; waited over an hour to see him; then was given a hard salespitch for an expensive gadget that requires electrodes be inserted in my body and only works in 70 percent of patients, according to the sales pamphlet. ALL ABOUT THE BENJAMINS: The appointment with him was an absolute waste of time, money and patience. I have no confidence in OrthoArkansas -- except that they will milk your insurance for unnecessary and unproductive visits.

I can only say it was a ghastly experience with miserable communication skills, an unprofessional…read morestaff that gossiped incessantly to a very "captive" audience, very little assistance from the start with a complete lack of post-op bathroom skills ( I had to take myself twice the first night because no one responded to my call button within an hour's time, absolutely inadequate pain management because a) pain meds were always one hour late and 2) no comprehensive discussions were had prior to surgery about pain management. OR if they were had , patient needs were completely ignored. A physician/department head who lies about previous encounters with you perhaps not on purpose but because he truly cannot remember anything individual about his patients. He quoted conversations he believes we had that literally never took place. My husband can verify this. An LPN team member who somehow has the ability to advise you on your narcotic intake. I truly thought that privilege belonged to physicicians, PA's and Residents. This LPN advised me to double my pain meds. Which made me run out quicker leaving me with deep muscle pain and a suggested treatment option on my part that this physician immediately shot down without even a phone call to my GP. My discharge orders included no review of when to resume my daily medications for other healthcare problems. A truly horrible, painful experience from beginning to end. One more minor yet vexxing matter I had requested a soft diet from Dietary because I left my dentures at home for safekeeping. I received fried chicken for lunch with an extra crispy piece of toasty garlic bread. Is this entire facility tone deaf? Additionally as a Fibromyalgia patient going in for surgery, there were absolutely no conversations about special pain needs. Make sure you bring up sufficient post-surgical pain care because he will not. I saw Dr. Barnes 3 times. At my initial visit with my husband. I found Dr. Barnes distant and difficult to engage in discussion. He was dismissive of my MRI which did show a torn labrum but while my MRI was "not thevworst he had seen" he suggested we proceed as it might hurt more because of the Fibro. That was literally our only conversation about Fibro. He then told me I needed to lose weight and he left. I did not see him again until months later the morning of my surgery where he assured me all would be fine. He is not particularly warm and fuzzy and reassuring. I then saw him very early the next morning on his rounds whereupon he playfully grabbed the surgical leg and again assured me all would be fine. It was not fine. My pain levels were not normal. Please keep all of this in mind when you make your decision. And he does not use physical therapy on hip patients. Another piece of information we were kept in the dark about until the morning of the surgery. You spend 6 weeks in a walker at home, then 6 weeks on a cane. You get a handout of minimal PT exercises you can do but he will not order real Physical Therapy treatment for you. In fact, apparently he is so opposed to the idea, my husband and I were warned by many hospital staff members not to even mention it with him. A really bizarre experience over all. Since speaking to my GP, we have found a better management for my pain and a guarantee that he will order Physical Therapy for me at the end of 6 weeks if we feel it is needed. Always get a second opinion. I regret going through with this.

I should have paid attention to my other family member that walks funny after he did her knee. I only saw him twice for a very painful foot problem. He prescribed a boot to immobilize and an antiinflammatory. He would not even consider any kind of pain medicine whatsoever. He could care less what kind of pain I was in. When the boot and Rx didn't work, I asked if I should be seeing a neurologist. (because I suspected a pinched nerve). He said he didn't know yet because he didn't have a diagnosis. He ordered a bone scan of my entire body?! Do what? VERY expensive! Then refused to see me after to discuss the findings. After multiple calls to find out what is next, his nurse said he wants me to try orthopedic shoes... With any luck, he will retire soon and spare anyone else from his crap. If not, do yourself a favor. Stay away from this useless, arrogant sunnuva.
