Thank you Dr. Barrick for giving me my quality of life back. It started with tingling in my fingers…read morethen into my arms then my shoulders and then my whole back. It kept me up all night, I would get 15 minutes sleep at best since before waking up. I went to Dr. Barrick on the advice of another neurosurgeon Dr. Oslewski from Misrecordia hospital in New Rochelle for a second opinion on surgery. The best thing I ever did. I decided to go with Dr. Barrick because of his knowledge and minimal invasive surgery. The other Dr. would've kept me in the hospital for a week then in internal rehab for two weeks. Dr. Barrick said I would be back home within two days, not true, I was home within 15 hours from the surgery. He came to my bedside before the surgery and after the surgery, he also took my wife aside which put her at ease. The follow ups were fantastic, he took his time, explained everything and when the insurance company wouldn't give me my bone stimulator he got involved by calling them personally three times. I got the bone stimulator. The numbness went away and I was sleeping again. Thank you very much Dr. Barrick, I HIGHLY recommend this Doctor.

Saw Dr. Colman in Hopewell, better results. Try and get a reasonable appointment with these people! Limited hours, limited days - no Saturdays. Kept trying to advise us to take appointments in Poughkeepsie, even further away. Wake up, people - this is the 21st Century. Children go to school and Adults work. Currently shopping for alternative doctors.

Although the business is under the umbrella name of Orthopedic Associates of Dutchess County, each area is its own entity, hence when checking in you fill out the same forms each time, and they use a computer system! A prescription needed a prior approval after surgery on 6/6 and I am still trying to get it even though I have called and emailed numerous times. I was told on 6/6 that the request was put in, however on 6/7 I spoke with the insurance company and the request was not put in. When I spoke to the nurse about it I was told not to worry, it is not that important of a medication. Then why prescribe it? At that point I reminded the nurse that we were told it was to help the pain and to help him not to use the narcotics so long. The answer was yes, that is true. Seems important to me.

When I asked for pain medication from Dr. Stamer's staff doctor, a Dr. Hemline, he said "oh…read morevicodin is much too dangerous. He then suggested a steroid shot for my wrist pain. In other words a 62 year old man is not capable of handling an opioid which, by the way has no known lasting side effects, but a steroid shot with it's many known very dangerous side effects could be given on the spot. Maybe because a a steroid shot which he could charge my health plan for 700+ dollars seemed like a better "investment" for his la-de-da office practice than an age old innocuous prescription for a painkiller.

I was referred to MOST Physical Therapy and went to the Hopewell Junction office to ask about…read moretreatment and insurance. I was told they accepted my insurance and that the back office would confirm my coverage. Ten days later -- after repeated follow-ups on my part -- I was finally told I'd be responsible for my co-pay plus balance. When I checked directly with my insurance carrier, I learned MOST is out of network. This should have been communicated from the very beginning. Instead, I lost 10 days waiting in pain for treatment I couldn't even receive under my plan. Patients deserve honesty and transparency about insurance coverage up front. Very disappointed.

He was extremely knowledgable and always took the time to explain everything to me as well as make sure I did the exercises correctly with proper form. I highly recommend this establishment and will return here should I need more Physical Therapy.
