James Barrese, MD 199 Mullica Hill Road, Harrison Township, NJ 08062

"Dr. Barrese did not listen to me and what it was going through. I told him at the first appt what my symptoms were. He told me I had cushing disease and handed me a script for lab work and a MRI. I walked into my second visit and acted like he was hearing my symptoms for the first time. He did not help me what so ever complete waste of time ask me if I got the blood work done which I had and had already seen a specialist which I was told u didn't have that. Not to mention I waited over an hour to maybe talk to him for 10 minutes if that. And the first visit maybe 5 minutes."

"This is my second experience in dealing with Dr Barrese. The first was 7 years ago when he did my cervical spinal fusion and now when it's time for yet another surgery and fusion there's no question who I would go to. He is no longer with the practice he was with then but that means no difference to me I wouldn't trust anyone else with my life. He is kind and compassionate, he explains things thoroughly and takes all the time needed to go over those details. He is truly a wonderful doctor, I wish there were more like him."

"Dr.Barrese is the best doctor/surgeon I could ask for! His team is very professional, very informative and he addresses all of my medical needs with a caring and listening ear!! I have been with this practice (Princeton Brain, Spine & Sports Medicine) for a few years now and they have given me the best quality of life with my cervical and lumbar surgeries! I can’t say enough great things about this practice and those who work here! Every transition that I’ve had to go through and every obstacle that I’ve been met with has been handled and dealt with expeditiously, professionally and with ease. When you have a doctor who cares about his patients and goes above and beyond with your care/needs….what more could you ask for?!! I can’t thank him enough for his patience, his calmness (he’s too cool for me!) and his ability to make you feel reassured every step of the way."

"Dr. Barrese has excellent bedside manner. He will be performing cervical spine surgery on me and my husband and I feel totally confident about him, although it’s really scary. He explains everything really well and helped to put me at ease. My Orthopedic told me that he is tops in his field and I know I will be in good hands."

"Dr. Barrese was great. He took time to explain my multiple issues and possible resolutions. I was very comfortable with him. The reason I only gave four stars is because I had to wait 1-1/2 hours beyond my appointment time before I was seen, with no particular explanation for this extremely long wait time. Additionally calling the office during their work hours and getting someone to answer the phone is quite hit or miss."
