Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

EXCELLANT Cardiologist
Dr. Barkocy and his staff are AMAZING! I took my elderly mom to visit him for the first time and his staff was extremely helpful and understanding. We didn't have to wait in his lobby for long periods of time like the last cardiologist we saw. Dr. Barkocy was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain things not only to my mother but to me also. The best part was when he left the room, he said God Bless you! I highly recommend Dr. Barkocy and his staff to everyone I talk to. He's one of a kind!

Wonderful Cardiologist
Knowledgeable and takes the time to listen to your concerns and answer questions. I have been around a lot of Doctors as a registered nurse and he has provided excellent care to my husband after quadruple bypass and valve replacement.

Unprofessional
We encountered Dr Barkocy in the ER at Nac Medical Center. After what was supposed to be a simple procedure, there were complications. I’m not saying he was responsible for any of the issues. What I am referring to is the way he handled the complications. We repeatedly tried to get him to come talk to us about possible solutions or explain what was happening, but he refused. After contacting other people at the hospital, he finally showed up. He was extremely unprofessional. You could tell he was mad because he had to come in, he handled the entire situation unprofessionally and really like a small child that did get his way. In a tense situation already, he did not respond appropriately. For those reasons, I will never recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Barkocy was very knowledgeable about my condition and gave me options for my care instead of the "one size fits all" mentality.
