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.

Dr Barasch great - office staff rude & BLM
RE: :'Front office staff are extremely rude and unprofessional'Stuck with Dr Barasch for 22 yrs IN SPITE OF rude 'BLM attitude' office staff. The office staff problem was COMPARATIVELY new in view of 22 yrs with doctor.In my mind (IMHO) the front desk staff put him out of business. ,-(

Excellent & Brilliant Doctor with Loving Staff
I happened to come across some of these reviews, and I cannot believe some of the things people have written about Dr Barasch and his staff. My wife and I have seen him for over a year, and he is always kind, intentional, hyper focused on his patients and their needs, respectful, trustworthy, and many other positive things you can think of. Any bad reviews on here should be removed. A lot of patients that come in seem like they are in need of pain management and, unfortunately, (being in recovery from addiction myself) people who struggle with addiction can be EXTREMELY difficult to deal with. So, as for “hearing him yell at elderly patients through the thin walls”, I’m imagining these patients most likely have a way of pushing the boundaries. He takes nearly every insurance, walk-ins, & helps numerous people as the ONLY doctor here. As for the staff, these girls of some of the sweetest women I’ve ever met. They are all loving & kind, & do a GREAT job with so many patients! 10 STARS

The office is filthy. Doctor curses about patients. Walls are thin and can hear him being mean to his elderly patients. Front office staff are extremely rude and unprofessional and also yell at elderly patients and I heard one of them threaten to discharge her because she was a little bit late. Very mean people and the place is beyond filthy disgusting in treatment rooms and bathroom . Changing doctors!

I would highly recommend Dr. Barasch. After reading some of the reviews I was very skeptical about making an appointment, but I can honestly say that he's one of the nicest, sincere, and thorough doctors I've had the pleasure of meeting. He took the time needed to go over my complete medical history, and establish the best short, and long-term plan for me. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly and willing to answer any questions I had.

I see Dr. Barasch only for Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment. He knows how to do that. I have a different primary care doctor.

Met this clown today in the hospital with my wife. He’s rude obnoxious and has a god complex. I wouldn’t go to him if I were dying. He has no compassion or care for your feelings or health. I believe he should change his career, maybe toll collector only if no other human communication needed!!!

You wait 45 min on average and meet with him for about five min. Doesn't ask many questions but will schedule many appointments with you. Staff make mistakes which cost the patient more money, i.e. needing to come back in because they didn't do a test the Dr. Wanted. One nurse had her headphones on while checking me in.

Dr Mark Barasch would zoom in and out faster than any doctor I have ever seen. Jerks you around with your med or seem to care about what's bothering you, doesnt explain any options you might have, doesn't listen to your complaints. very rude and not at all easy to talk to makes you feel like a hypochondriac
