I was suffering for years with neck and extreme radiating arm pain that put me in the ER a couple of times. I had a multitude of testing over many years with various doctors and a magnitude of conflicting diagnosis. Then I was referred too Dr. Barcohanna and the timing couldn’t have been better, only wish it would have been sooner. Not to bore you with a long dissertation but I met with Barcohanna a MRI was ordered, results came back with a cervical issue, we discussed what needed to be done and the cervical fusion was preformed. His staff has been very pleasant to work with and very accommodating. His PA Ester Kishimoto is outstanding and thoroughly answered all my pre and post surgery questions.

I first met with Dr Babak Barcohana’s PA Ester Kishimoto and had a very positive experience. She was extremely thorough and provided me with several treatment options for my herniated disc. I met with Dr Babak Barcohana on my follow up visit and had an equally positive experience. I highly recommend Ester Kishimoto and Dr Babak Barcohana.

Dr. Barcohana may not be your bestfriend when you initially meet him BUT once he takes you in as his patient he gives you nothing but honest and straight forward knowledge. Dr. Barcohana will be doing my cervical disc replacement surgery tomorrow and during my pre op last week he made sure to answer all my questions in dept and to also put my mind and soul at ease. I truly find myself blessed to have found a doctor that I feel truly cares about the health and well being of his patients. Also it helps that he has a staff like Michelle and Leslie who go above an beyond the call of duty. Those women are truly remarkable and they truly love what they do. I hope they know that they’ve made a difference in my life. I’ve been seeing Dr. Barcohana and his amazing staff since Jan. and they have been my support system through all the craziness and confusion always putting my needs and well being first.

I went to see Dr. Barcohana after having a very positive experience with a hand/elbow doctor at the same location early last year. I went specifically to ask him to have a look at an upper back pain I’ve had for several years. Due to the lengthy and(in my experience) very generic evaluation, I was diagnosed with several things that have now prompted me to be denied individual heath insurance. I believe he was short with me, understaffed, and did not ask me questions. He ordered a back vest, 2MRI’s and PT for a pain that we do not know what is causing. The MRI’s came back unremarkable, yet, I have 3 diagnosis and thousands of dollars have been spent! Additionally my insurance was billed for a hard back brace that I knew nothing a about. I would not recommend him based on my personal experience.
