Dr. Barbour offers a minimally invasive procedure—TENEX Health TX—in which he can break up and remove damaged tissue, which is the cause of most chronic tendon-related pain related to Golfer’s or Tennis elbow. This advanced technique, developed in collaboration with the Mayo Clinic, leaves healthy, soft tissue undisturbed. It takes only a few minutes, and no sutures or stitches are needed.
Dr. Barbour enjoys traveling, sports, and the outdoors.

I had a piece of glass removed that had been embedded in my thumb for over a month, and the procedure went very smoothly. I highly recommend Dr. Barbour because of his level of skills and for his friendliness. Tim Puckett
