Reviews
"The assistant staff are pretty nice. Dr. Barratz is like a discount "Wizard of Oz". You can never reach him. His staff answers his emails and he never gets with you on the patient portal. He doesn't seem to be very knowledgeable or he just lacks empathy and refuses to share it. I think he does lack empathy because after my failed surgery he had no answers other than to look like he's trying to cosplay NASA astronaut Chris Hadfield or Dale Earnhardt. But to be honest, without the charisma...He just stands there gawking and rolling his eyes like a child. I had surgery on my right arm for ulnar nerve subluxation, a transposition and triceps resection. The surgery seemed to go well at first, even though I was given no post-surgery instructions. I wasn't offered rehabilitation/PT. I very slowly returned to exercise literally using 2lb weights and gripping, etc. When I felt stable enough I started more serious exercises like pull-ups and push-ups. Well, my arm started snapping again very painfully. I think honestly worse than it ever has before. It's actually not as bad in my left arm, the un-operated one. I would probably see Dr. Schmidt, but UPMC doesn't cover that. Thanks!"
