Steven Barag, DO – Aureus Medical Group

Time for a new Doc, I hate coming to this place. Everytime I come it takes forever before you even see the doc. You have to see like 12 med students who don’t know up from down, all ask the same questions over and over and EVENTUALLY the doc comes in and you have to tell him all the same info. It’d be nice if they asked if you minded having to go through all of this rather than just subjecting you to it!!! Barag is great, but who has time to be at the doc this long? This will probably be my last visit, to much waisted time. Thanks but no thanks.

After going to many doctors for many years trying to figure out what was wrong with my sinuses one visit to Dr Barag had me straightened out he is extremely helpful and highly knowledgeable good doctor will never go anywhere else again

Dr Barag is great. He always listens and seems very concerned about my well being. Funny too, always makes me laugh.

I really like Dr Barag. He’s a happy happy man and will help you with anything. He will even try to assist you with things that other doctors feel are not huge priorities, but if it’s something that’s bothering you why not get it addressed.
He knows his stuff and listens.
He doesn’t listen for very long so talk fast and have a list ready cause he’ll leave the room to get something and then doesn’t come back in, he’ll have his staff get you your prescription or something but you might not be done asking him questions or have another Referal you needed… So you kind of have to corner him. He’s never trying to be rude he just thinks your done and his brain goes a mile a minute so he’ll go look something up for you in his office assuming that’s all you needed. This being said, I still go there cause he will help you he just has a short attention span! :). I also like that they’ll do blood work right there on the spot and they have a pharmacy downstairs. Very convenient.
Try dr Barag out. Most people I know love him. He’s funny and warm and very knowledgable. He’s not the type of doctor that pretends to know everything and gets agitated if you put your two sense in based on your self diagnosis… Which is hard to find. Not that your self diagnosis is right, but some Drs will deny the issue is what you think as if it somehow hurts their pride that you might have any sort of medical knowledge available to you. If he isn’t quite sure he’ll research it with you there and figure it out. Most Drs have to feel they know everything and won’t spend the time researching possibilities. Dr Barag has your best interest at heart.
They have medical students sometimes training with him, this isn’t my favorite if I’m going for something embarrassing as first I’m telling some young cute Med student my issue… But I’m sure you can tell them you prefer to only see the dr and I know they wouldn’t have the Med student come in.

Dr. Steven Barag is my physician. He has excellent clinical skills. He is very compassionate and concerned about your health needs. Posted by Bryan Stevens

Jeez Kevin C. get a personality. Dr. Barag is the best doctor I’ve ever had. He is a true kindred spirit. He always explains everything, has a great sense of humor, I truly love this man. He saved my husband’s life. My husband just come in to review his blood test and Dr. Barag, asked him questions (yeah Kevin, he asks, he listens, duh) and gave him an EKG. He had had a heart attack and was basically a dead man walking. Dr. Barag made sure Jerry was seen THAT DAY by a cardiologist and by evening my husband was having surgery. He’s doing great now.
I have NEVER felt as secure and confident in a doctor EVER. He is one of the warmest, coolest, and most kind people I know. Personally, I will never go to an M.D. again. I think D.O.‘s know more! A note to Kevin C. you are either delusional or a real a-​hole and I mean that in the nicest way. Oh, and his staff ROCKS too.
Peace,
