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.

Wonderful Surgeon and Caregiver!
Dr. Barrington performed a total knee replacement on me five years ago, and the results were incredible. Not only am I pain-free, but I am also able to be fully active for the first time in 20 years. I’m now in the best shape of my adult life! In addition to being an outstanding surgeon, he provided excellent post-operative care. Before the surgery, he took the time to thoroughly explain my options and answer all my questions—never once did I feel like just a number to him.If you need a knee replacement in the Dallas area, I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with Dr. Barrington.

One year after surgery I am still in pain.
Had surgery in December of 2023. Show up at 7 AM and I was home by 11 AM. This practice is a factory. Get them in and get them out. You will see the doctor before and during the surgery. Your future visits will be with assistance. They will keep telling you everything is ok, but it is not.

Recommending Dr. Barrington
Dr. Barrington and his team were incredibly welcoming and attentive. He took the time to listen to my concerns and sat next to me to explain the x-rays in a way that helped me fully understand my situation. He carefully walked me through all the available options, emphasizing that he needed to review the CT scan to make the best long-term plan, rather than just rushing into a procedure. This statement reassured me and eased all my doubts and worries. I feel confident and comfortable knowing he will be leading my care.A note of advice: bring your patience and time—he truly listens and explains everything to each patient!I highly recommend Dr. Barrington and his staff!

Knee replacement surgery
Dr Barrington as highly recommended by others. He as not only professional but did a terrific job. He even prayed with me and ny wife before surgery. His PT staff are superb as well. He is highly experienced, detailed, believes in minimally invasive surgery and PT. My recovery in four weeks has been in red easy. In part, because I did pre PT on knee, was in great physical shape and also due to the precision and excellence of Dr Barrington. I recommend anyone needing this done to use him. He is phenomenal!

Excellent Physcian
I did my 3 years post hip replacement review with Dr. Barrington. The examination was very thorough, communicative, and professional. My original surgery was excellent and the review gave me great confidence that my hip is exactly as it should be. He is an outstanding professional in his field.

Spine osteoarthritis not knee osteoarthritis
I thought I had knee osteoarthritis when I entered Dr. Barrington’s office because I have had sharp knee pains for about 9 months. With his comprehension X-ray approach he proved to me that I have osteoarthritis in my lower back which is indirectly affecting my knees; the X-rays showed that I didn’t have osteoarthritis in my knees! This was absolutely stunning to see the pictures of what my lower back looks like-very damaged but my knees have no apparent wear and tear. A picture is worth a thousand words! I don’t need knee injections but instead an inversion table!

I'm retired & still drive 2 Plano 4 Dr. Barrington
Dr. Barrington is the best Orthopedic doctor and surgeon. He did my hip replacement over 15 years ago in Plano. I retired in 2013 and now live in San Marcos, TX and still go back to him for check ups or anytime I have an issue. I know I have one metal on metal hip replacement that was done before he did my left hip and I'll go to him to have it done when the time comes. He always take all the time you need to listen and explain all details of your issues to you.

Attentive, informative and personal
Dr. Barrington and his staff were all very welcoming and attentive. I feel like I received a very thorough and educational exam. He sat right beside me and explained the x-rays in a way that I easily understood what they represented. He walked me through the options and procedures that would resolve the pain I have dealt with for years. I feel very confident and comfortable knowing he will be taking the lead on my care.

Highly Skilled, Good at Answering Questions
Made very effective use of time without making you feel rushed. Knowledgeable, clear explanations that engendered confidence in his ability to help you. His sincerity and appreciation for the entire process of a joint replacement showed empathy and understanding of not only the surgery and pre or post elements of the care, but the goal(s) of having the replacement as well. Dr. Barrington is not only very smart and talented as a surgeon, he is also very good with people.

Dr Barrington is a GREAT DOCTOR!
His mannerisms are by far the best of any Dr. I have seen, he is engaging, very knowledgeable and intelligent and treats you more than being his patient. I say GREAT, because he’s a guy I’d enjoy golfing, hunting or just plan talking to more often than seeing him in the office. Thank Dr. Barrington I’ll see you in 6 months. Take care and may GOD continue to bless you and yours. Herman
