Dr Barnes is an absolute GEM! I was in Lake Havasu for memorial week, had myself a little accident, and ended up in the ER. I had to have surgery and Dr Barnes came to my rescue. Not only is he absolutely adorable, he is kind, funShow moreny, and knowledgeable too. Along with being informative, he was also eager to show me and my kids my before and after surgery photos which was cool! I don’t live in the area, so after I went home, I had to find a local orthopedic Dr. 10/10 recommended Dr Barnes!!!

I have seen Dr Barnes in the past. This was my first time seeing him at his new office at Convergence Health. The office is very clean. The staff at the front desk were very friendly professional and acknowledged me as soon as I Show more entered the lobby. Scott Dr Barnes MA was very friendly . Scott seemed very interested in why I was there. My wait in the room for Dr Barnes was minimal. Dr Barnes listened to my concerns examined me and told me my diagnosis and treatment options. Great experience!!

The care was exceptional! Everyone was knowledgeable and kind. They explained everything in detail, answered all my questions, and made sure I was comfortable during all phases of my procedure. Afterwards, they reached out to ask how I was feeling and whether there were any additional questions or concerns. I would highly recommend Dr. Barnes, Dr. Stansbury, Nurse Dawn and all the support staff.

I just had a two week follow up with Dr Barnes. He told me that the surgery on a torn rotator cuff had gone well.He let me know that there was not as much damage that he had originally anticipated. So with some physiotherapy to get things moving again I should be in great shape to get back to work. Thank you Dr Barnes you truly are a fantastic Doctor. Many thanks Andy Kendrick.

Dr Barnes has turned out to be one of the best doctors I have ever been with. He has a great bedside manner and is very talented. His office staff I give 10 stars out of 5 because 5 isn’t enough. I have been coming from California to use Dr Barnes because he is worth the drive and time. His work on my knee was second to none and he made me feel 100% confident that I would in fact be back to normal. Dr Barnes is fantastic.
