Attempted to make an appointment with a physician I had seen in the past and he was unavailable…read more Dr Michael Eng was referred to instead. As a medical professional of 28 years, I understand the difference in personality and opinions that doctors can have. Dr Eng was positively awful. He was cocky, arrogant and condescending. He made little eye contact, was defensive and his bedside manner was non existent. His unprofessionalism in critiquing his colleague was beyond off putting. He lacked compassion and the ability to listen and understand. I fully understand that doctors have different personalities, opinions and styles, but I am so unsettled by him. It was a waste of the copay. I am just shocked that Hoag would employ a person of this demeanor . This is a time where I wished AI would have scribed the visit. I would love for a colleague to review. He appears very inexperienced and green in medicine. It will take a lot to make him a successful physician. UPDATE( 2 weeks later)...no follow up from office manager when requested. I guess this is just standard practice there. Had second opinion at other major medical center and was told that upon review of my MRI, they were shocked at the lack of advice that was given to me by Michael Eng,MD.

I had a great experience. Dr. Barnett is the finest physician I have ever dealt with. My hip…read moresurgery went swimmingly and I haven't a single complaint. I was able to text him on his personal line and he responded within minutes! Even at 6:30 in the morning. This is unheard of. I read some of the negative reviews (not of Dr. Barnett) and I, frankly, find them rather frustrating. They seem rather short-sighted and hastily written. Furthermore, the only complaint they seem to have is in regard to the wait. I suppose that everyone has a different experience, but my experiences with Dr. Barnett have been the best in my fifty years of dealing with medical professionals.

I'm hoping that someone in management sees this well intended criticism.

I was unsuccessful in trying to make a new appointment on-line today so I dialed in and gave up after 10 minutes of hold music. The staff are kind and conscientious but seem to be overwhelmed.

Its true that he doesnt have the greatest bedside manner so to speak. His personality it what it is, but I personally dont care as I wanted a good surgeon and that is exactly what I got.

Some complain about…read morelong waits, some think he isn't a nice person (call him names), but he was a great surgeon for my husband and he/we did not mind that he was direct, to the point -- he did answer our questions in pre-op appointments and post-surgical appointments, he was reassuring that all looked good (my husband had a fusion from L3-L4-L5-S1 (that's a LOT of hardware... looking at the image, it looked like a little ladder was built, it's been 1-1/2 years, and my husband's is doing great.

I need to say this before the end of my life. In\nMy thirties , this man put me through hell…read morebecause the county sent me to h r department. He denied my pain everything I was going through begrudgingly sent me to an MRI expert, so-called wrote the book on m.S. Still found nothing and begrudgingly had me have surgery , arthuscopic and found that they had missed the fact that my tendon had been tearing off my arm and was almost now completely off my arm , I went through amazing amount of pain. Ended up having to have rodarcuff repair a ten and next made drilling three holes through the bone to put my tendon back on. I went through two and a half years of horrible pain , because this man would not believe me , I just had to say this.

First 2 days after surgery was painful but the recovery is very fast after that and a week later i am way better. My collarbone is repaired with a plate and screws. No complications. He took everything precaution to make sure i had a good result and i am very grateful. I was able to get an appointment right away and after careful evaluation he did my surgery the next day.

Compared to…read morethe other surgeons I met it seemed to me that he was clearly the most knowledgeable and it was nice to talk to someone that had a clear solution for me that didn't involve fusion. He answered every question I had, the operation was well prepared and everything went smooth.

I've got my active life back so I really couldn't be happier with his support.

But when you're going to have surgery on your spine it makes you kinda nervous. So glad we found him. He has given my husband his quality of life back.

I can't thank Dr. Melikian enough for everything he has done for my husband.
