"We did not hit it off, for whatever reason. I enquired whether I would have to cease weight training for six or so months if I were to address fully the pain in my elbow. I added--merely as an observation--that to do so at my age [74] very likely would mean the end of any meaningful weight program. He responded in a somewhat exasperated tone that he was not telling me to stop altogether, which mystified me inasmuch as I had not suggested, let alone claimed, that he had done so. My wife intervened, which permitted the consultation to proceed, but he clearly was not happy with me."

"My visit with Dr. Barth was excellent. I did not wait at all for my appointment. The medical assistant, Eva who is a recent Georgetown University alumna, was very personable. Dr. Barth ordered x-rays and then put them on the screen, explaining to me what they showed and the treatment options available. He was very open to questions, made direct eye contact with me as we conversed. I left very informed about my situation and what steps are available to me. I could not have asked for more."

"Dr. Barth is a gifted surgeon and hand specialist. He saw me right on time, diagnosed the problem and confirmed it with x-rays. He displayed the X-rays on the screen, explained tehe problem(s) and discussed my options. We choose the least invasive with the understanding we might need to make a different decision in the future."

"Appointment was to the point. Went in for a shoulder injury. Without any wait I was taken, saw Dr. Barth who suggested an x-ray, no wait, and quickly he was able to explain my pain, two different paths to take and I determined to wait it out and see if it got better. This all happened very quickly, and I was very satisfied knowing that I didn't have a major problem. Thank you for your understandable explanation!"
