William Barrick, MD

First there is no bedside manner, cockey, physically rough with my elderly Mom. Waiting time is 1 - 2 hours. Double books. Lies about scheduling and appointments times, complains about patients to other patients. One nurse was very rude and incompetent. Other nurses and staff were great. Do not see him - there are plenty of other choices. Another Dr described him as liking his patients unconscious and on the table. We have been there 3 or 4 times and its the last time.

Doctor barrick shoots just for surgery instead of listen to his patients.his bed side manner are terrible he rushes as soon as he gets in the room .he trys talking over acting like he knows your pain better then you do an in a rude way.we dicussed a surgery agreement saying i would be back to work in 2 weeks after surgery witch i thought seemed not right for spine surgery of the neck an once i got to hosiptal he was going to do a possible fusion witch would have kept me out of work for a 6 month an possible never turn my neck normal again . very rude at the hosiptal for not having it done he said i wasted everyones time but not caring about my health or needs or wants .i was told by other people i was a very lucky person for not having him do it. I highly recommend no one to see him an get other opinions an see some one else if you care about you health .

Dr. Barrick saw my 8 year old son for a wrist ingury and after reviewing an X-ray stated my son needed surgery that very same day. He also spoke about nerve damage and possible pins. There were no alternatives to surgery and before I knew it I was presented paperwork to sign to have this person operate on my son. His demeniour was cold and borderline rude. Dr. Barrick was quick and didn't take much time to clearly explain what was happening. I had inquired about a watercast and was informed that I needed to to go to a surgical supply store and find Gortex. If I could find this Gortex he would wrap my sons cast in it. After some research Gortex isn't something available to every day people and after also speaking with someone in the medical field this option didn't even make any sense nor would it work. I left the office but after coming home, piecing things together and reading Dr. Barricks reviews I canceled the surgery and went for a second opinion. I had to fight with them to have my sons X-ray faxed to another Dr. Dr. Barrick left me a very inappropriate, disturbing unprofessional message after he found out I wasn't going forward with the surgery. The Dr. accused me of neglecting my sons health while truly I was protecting him from such an evil butcher! Turns out after a second opinion by another Dr. my son did NOT need surgery nor did the Dr have any concern about long term damage let alone any nerve damage. My son had a water proof cast put on while this Dr took the time to speak to us and also provided options. Dr Barrick is a disgrace and should lose his license. He validated that most Doctors push surgery while only after money and certainly not having the patients best interest at heart. Absolute disgrace!! Do not use this man! I am not surprised his rating is a 2.4 out of 5.. please be sure to get a second opinion!

After being in a car accident I saw2 orthopedic doctors for my back all of which dismissed that the pain was coming from the thoracic back. I then saw Dr. Barack who was very surprised I was told that the upper and lower back more showed the middle back. He ordered an MRI which showed a badly herniated disc in the T5 region which was causing pain and loss of strength in my right side. On top of that he found 1 herniated and 2 buldging discs in my neck and herniated disc in my lower back all from the accident . Why the neck theses other doctors didn't see anything looking at the same MRI is beyond me, if these discs were not fixed there was a chance or paralysis down the road. Dr. Barracks expertise and knowledge is beyond compare I would recommend him to anyone if you want a proper diagnosis and treatment he is your guy. A little abrupt but very smart. He is all business , as long as you know that going in your going to love this doc.

I delt with Dr, Dimarco or how ever you spell his name. This guy from the very begining rubbed me the wrong way. He does not educate you on any part of the surgury. After the surgury he told me i had to travel to the poughkeepsie office to get fitted for a brace so I did what I was told. About 6 weeks later i received a Bill for close to $900.00 dollars for this brace that cost $65.00 at CVS...This place is filled with rude and hateful liars who try and sneak in as much as they can get from the insurance companies and double charge the client. Dimarco was an old fat bastard who deserves to be tought a lession and so does the reception staff..
