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.

I had my initial visit with Dr. Barber last week. Even though I was in considerable pain, his demeanor immediately put me at ease. He was kind and concerned. He spent a considerable amount of time with me asking questions, discussing and showing me my inflamed and damaged joint on xray and giving his input on the options I had. I'm secure with my choice; Dr. Barber is definitely a ten star physician who loves his work and cares for his patients.

Dr. Matthew Barber is the best Dr. for total knee replacement surgery. I had a total knee replacement in March of 2019. I haven't had any problems. On November 4th 2024 I had another complete knee replacement on my left knee. I'm doing really good. I love the spirit that Dr. Barber has. He believes in praying before surgery. With the help of the good Lord and Dr Barber I have come a long way. I am looking forward to a speedy recovery. I highly recommend Dr Barber over any other Othaphedic. I'm sure there's other good ones, but I know about Dr Barber from experience.

Evaluation for knee surgery
Dr. Barber was highly recommended. Being a new patient the appointment was pushed out. I was told I could call to check on cancellation openings. Every time I called, the appointment desk was wonderful & never irritated. Super friendly!My appointment was very professional with everyone I dealt with. They were all extremely friendly. They took me straight to X-ray & it was the most thorough X-ray of my knees ever. I was put in an exam room right after & his nurse asked me some questions & the doctor came very soon after. He was very informative answered all my questions. Explained what surgery would be like, the ups & downs & risks & rewards. Surgery is scheduled & will have more info provided by them, before it happens. I had a very positive experience. This is from someone who never wanted to use AOC due to a negative experience with my dad years ago.

Ver friendly but professional.
The entire staff was friendly. PA Scott Morrison gave me a shot in my knee but I never felt it. Dr Barber was easy to talk to and believes in taking the conservative approach which I am thankful for.

Excellent Experience!
Excellent Experience with everyone. Dr Barber was very thorough and explained very carefully all of my options. Garrett P.A Is the first practitioner who bothered to do an ultrasound while he was injecting my knee. I very much appreciated that . Everyone went above and beyond to assure me that my care was important. First Class!

Both Dr Barber and his PA were informative and came up with a treatment plan that suited my particular case. The only complaint would be I wasn’t seen until 2 hours after my appointment time.

Great experience with Dr. Barber and his team.
He's a no non-sense professional who is very attentive to details and informative. His team is very friendly and on the spot helpful to my needs and concerns. Most importantly, Dr. Barber prayed to God almighty with me and my wife before surgery. My whole experience has been great.

Great Doctor!
Dr. Barber did replacements on both knees in 2018. It was like my life was renewed! I was able to walk without pain for the first time in 10 years. I was again able to enjoy working on my small farm. Now, in 2024, my knees are still free of pain. Best ortho doctor ever! Well worth having to make multiple 150 mile trips to see him and have the surgery. His staff is excellent. I was able to get an appointment within the next two weeks. Waiting time after I arrival was less than 20 minutes. I would recommend Dr. Barber to anyone who has problems with their knees.
