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 Barrett was congenial and attentive to the subjective and objective data. He makes you feel comfortable. Everyone was warm from the beginning to the end of the visit. Thank you

I was satisfied and treated with respect.
After MRI and X-rays he knew exactly what I needed to fix my torn hamstring. I was deeply satisfied with the care in a timely manner. He treated me with respect and showed compassion to fix my issue! I would definitely recommend him and his staff!

Awesome doc!
As a disabled vet, I've seen A LOT of doctors since my injurirs happened. Several in the ortho field. Even though it was my first visit, I was kind of surprised at how down to earth he was & how much he seemed like 'just another one of the guys' because several of the doctors I've had were cold, strictly clinical & had the personality of a fence post. It left the impression that the priority was simply the number of patients they could see in a day & you were just one of those numbers in the process, you know, kind of like cattle. But, I was really pleased with how my initial visit went & will definetly be using him again!!

Amazing Physician and Surgeon
I initially presented to Dr. Barrett at the in early 2022 to perform a specialized procedure called the MACI for a cartilage defect in my left knee. Dr. Barrett was experienced in the procedure and came highly recommended from the company that provides the procedure materials and grows the cartilage sheets. He performed with surgery with no complication and I was very pleased overall with my experience. As I worked through a lengthy recovery he was courteous and always attentive to my questions and concerns as a patient. A medical professional myself, he spoke at my level and held my opinions in high regard. Unfortunately my procedure failed at the 8 week mark so after 12 weeks post MACI I underwent a second, larger, procedure to correct an angular limb deformity in my femur at the end of September. This surgery was significantly more involved and required an overnight stay in hospital. Dr. Barrett approached my second procedure with extra caution to insure that this would be the las

Had to get on a plane the next day to fly to my mothers funeral and could not bend my knee. He fit me in that day and fixed me up so that I was pain free to get on the airplane. Thank you very much Dr Barrett.

Knee pain
I saw Dr. Barrett as a second opinion on a recent procedure I had done. He was so kind and attentive to everything I had to say or ask. After leaving the visit I knew that he was going to take very good care of my needs.

Dr. Barrett was a wonderful listener and spent a lot of time with me trying to figure out what was going on with my hip. Hopefully I won’t have to see him again, but if so, I have full confidence that he will be able to help me with further treatment

Unfortunately I had two accidents on one leg and everything that seemed impossible turned out to be a great outcome. Not once did I feel like I wasn’t in good hands with Dr. Barrett and Dr. Lawin. They are professional and are extremely helpful in giving me the knowledge I needed in my experience. Every visit was different and I healed up properly as I followed their instructions. It was not easy but please listen to what they expect you to do so you will get better and stay on track of the healing process. They met every need I had. I’m grateful to be able to walk again, to what look impossible from the start, I had two great surgeons that never let me down. MS Sports Medicine is such a great state of the art facility. I’ve made new friends during each of my visits and the staff are always friendly. 6 months out and time is now enduring as I continuously become stronger. Thank you for helping me get here Thank you for allowing God to use you as an instrument. Anything is possible!!

Dr. Barrett is an awesome surgeon who cares about his patient's mobility and quality of life. My knee was severely degraded due to meniscus tears and arthritis. After being repaired by Dr. Barrett it feels better than it has in probably 30 years. Thank you for getting me back on my feet and active again!
