Joseph Barker, M.D.

Dr Barker is an awesome surgeon. Coming from a nurse of many years I know what's good and what's not. I would highly recommend this Dr. My surgery went extremely well, the recovery went extremely well. No complications. He's your man to go to for ACL, Meniscus repair. I give him a 10 out ot 10. He goes well beyond for his patients to give you the very best care that you can possibly get.

I have found Dr. Barker to be an amazing doctor that has performed rotator cuff surgery on me. I had been told that he was the best in his field and now I am also a believer in that. I am now on the road to recovery and I thank Dr. Barker and his team for making my experience as pleasant as possible. If you have shoulder issues this is the doctor that you need to see.

Quick in and out examination. Answered all of my questions in a clear and understandable way. Very helpful!

Dr. Barker is always polished, professional, thorough, and knowledgeable! He has taken care of my family (and the many friends we've referred to him) for years. Always a 5-star visit.

He reviewed my records and examine my knees and offered me a treatment option that I really believe will work for me. I’m a little better at the end of the treatment.

Professional, courteous.

Dr. Barker does amazing work. He has now fixed both of my shoulders and my right hip. Couldn’t ask for a more friendly down to earth doctor. He’s always there to answer any questions and puts you at ease upon meeting him.

Thorough, with great expertise, as always

Very professional. Took necessary time to review my issues and explained what he decided was causing the pain in my upper arm and shoulder. Highly recommend Doctor Barker to anyone with rotator cuff issues

I can't say enough wonderful things about Dr. Barker and his staff. My May rotator cuff surgery was textbook perfect! It's one thing to be a skilled surgeon, but what sets Dr. B. & staff apart from most practices is their sincere desire to form a genuine, personal connection with their patients. At 70+ years old, I frankly didn't want to have the surgery; but, after Dr. B. patiently explained the risks/benefits, I agreed to the procedure. When he said to me, "Having studied all the data/test results, if you were my family member, I would recommend that you have the surgery". That sealed the deal for me--and the fact that, if I waited several years I would be facing a total shoulder replacement, made the decision easy. I'm glad I did! You are the BEST! Here's wishing you continued success!

Friendly, took his time answering my questions and told me what the plan is for my shoulder is

Dr. Barker takes my health concerns seriously . He listens without a rush to judgement or prognosis. His medical diagnosis and treatment are always right on. A doctor that you can trust with your health. A great doctor!

Dr. Barker made fast work of determining the source of my shoulder pain. He is clearly an expert in his field.

I highly recommend Dr Barker. He was very attentive to the pain i was having and sat and answered all the questions i had. I am so glad I am finally getting answers.

He is a wonderful doctor . He takes the time to really listen to you, and really knows the hip. He is really smart and I even come back from Florida to see him, bc I trust him so much .

Dr. Barker is always professional and makes you feel absolutely comfortable. I am glad I decided to go to Raleigh Orthopaedic's because he has made my experience so much better. Thank you for everything Dr. Barker!

Dr. Barker communicates well and takes the time to explain the details

Great Dr.

Very friendly and personable which isn’t always the case with a surgeon

Dr. Barker is very good at surgery and diagnosing illnesses, but I do not like how fast he sees patients. I feel like there is no rapport building or discussion about what is going on besides a 30 second intro to what happened. Sometimes I feel like he is rushing to see me just so he can quickly get to the next patient so it is difficult for me to think of all my questions before he leaves the room.

Great communication! Felt very confident in his abilities and recommendations. Thank you!

Dr. Barker was great during my visit.

Amazing doctor! Truly exceptional

He is one of the best physicians I have encountered. I am fortunate to be his patient.

Thank you for your help with both of my shoulders. Great Doctor, takes the time to explain everything and makes sure you understand.

Doctor Barker thouroughly explained my need for rotator 4surgery in November 2019. I chose to delay my surgery until the holidays were over. Underwent surgery on January 7 and began therapy January 9th. After 3 1/2 months I'm doing very good. Doctor Barker is very interested in his patients recovery and follows up to insure that his patients are healing as they shou6. Released today and advised not to lift over 5 lbs until I reach 6 months. Highly recommend Doctor Barker

Ask many questions and examined the affected area to zero in on my issue. Feel confident with the diagnosis.

Takes the time to explain procedures so that you can understand what is necessary and what to expect.

Great doctor. Always pleasant and easy to talk too....

He was very helpful in helping me to understand what was going on and getting me the help that I needed to relieve the pain infinitely.

Dr. Barker was extremely helpful and actually listened to my problem about my hip. He has a good personality and can do a little chitchat without getting off the topic why I am there. He also has performed surgery on my left shoulder. I’ve been a patient of his since 2013! Highly recommend! He’s a no nonsense kind of doctor, but personable enough to talk to and to listen so he can better understand your issue. Runs on time!!

Excellent service. An honest doctor, takes time to look at everything, available to answer all my questions.

Very knowledgeable and thorough

I drive 2 1/2 hours to see him. He always reviews past visits and is always familiar with my issues. Never rushes me in and out. He also performed my hip surgery with great success.

I really like and respect Dr Barker. He is straightforward, no nonsense and just a great Dr.

He was nice and answered all my questions. He has done a great job with my shoulder.

😀

I had a great experience with Dr Barker..very personable and knowledgeable...looking forward to working with him further!

He is excellent at what he does, I would give 5 stars. I would like to see more explanation of what he did in surgery, why healing and rehab is why it is...etc. I feel like I get more explanation about these areas from my physical therapist. I do understand Dr Barker has much less time with patients than PT, but that’s what would earn the 5th star from me. I also got along well with his personality, which is not always the case between patients and surgeons.

Friendly, professional and knowledgeable

Dr. Barker's assessment was very thorough. He was able to identify the problem missed by others

Dr Barker was both professional and communicative. I appreciated his feedback immensely. His input has helped me move forward toward improved health.

Dr Barker has my highest respect for his ability as my Dr

Dr Barker performed an arthroscopic procedure on my right knee for a torn meniscus in 2011. He did a great job as that knee is still doing very well. I now have a similar problem with my left knee. I saw him today to address this problem as I would not want to go anywhere else. He is exceptionally talented and and is very personable and caring. One could not do better when needing Orthopaedic care than Dr Barker.

Dr. Barker has provided me with the best care. I had a problem with my Right hip a few months ago. After seeing another doctor I decided to try Dr. Barker. After talking to him he knew right away what needed to be done. He gave me an ultrasound guided injection. After months of being in pain, and 2 other shots, my problem was relieved in less than 48 hours!! I recently went back with a similar issue on the left side, once again he did the same procedure again and with 36 hours I feel AMAZING! JP

So perfect for my care. NO complaints.So professional. Felt I reach out for any problems I had in my recovery....but had none. His demeanor sets you at ease in the office also.

Very knowledgeable and competent. I felt like I was in great hands.

Dr Barker is the very best! I highly recommend him.

really enjoy working with him but he does rush through things.

Very personable and knowledgeable . Paid attention to our questions and concerns.
