My daughter Tianna was diagnosed with Scoliosis and Kyphosis 5 years ago. She had been seeing another doctor and wearing a back brace he had given her for about a year before we met with Dr. Barry. Dr. Barry was a lot more welcoming and honest with us. He gave us more answers and made the whole process easier. Dr. Barry kept her in a brace for four more years, before coming to the conclusion that surgery was inevitable.
My daughter was very anxious to have the surgery while I myself was very scared and skeptical. Tianna was willing to do just about anything to not only to relieve the back and neck pain but also to change her physical appearance. She would have bouts of crying daily not only from the pain but also due to the fact that she wasn't comfortable wearing any normal clothing. It was a daily struggle to find clothes that would fit over the back brace. It was very hard to see my daughter go through this. Tianna was not only a mess emotionally and physically, but socially as well. The every day emotional stress was just wearing on Tianna.
During the surgery I was a nervous wreck. Dr. Barry was aware of how scared I was and made sure a nurse came out to the waiting room every hour to inform me of how everything was going. I was very relived to hear how my daughter was doing and I was grateful that Dr. Barry was being so considerate. Right after the surgery was finished Dr. Barry greeted me and told me how perfect everything had gone. The recovery process was very difficult but knowing that I could call Dr. Barry at any time for help, was very reassuring.
The decision to have the surgery was probably the hardest decision we had to make, but it was the BEST decision we have ever made. It has had such a positive impact on Tianna. Her attitude and personality have improved tremendously. She is wearing the beautiful clothes that she wants and a smile on her face. She has NO physical constraints and the best part of it all is that she is pain FREE.
Tianna looks and feels beautiful inside and out. Dr. Barry, words cannot describe how truly thankful we are for all you have done!

Testimonials
My daughter Alexis was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma (bone cancer in the knee) at the age of 14. She was in a lot of pain and limping. I took her too her physician and they did an x-ray. They called me and said "it does not look good". We were referred to Dr. Barry, we met with him and her biopsy was scheduled. She got the biopsy and they came back and said it was bone cancer. Two Onocoloy doctors said Alexis would have to have her leg amputated. Dr. Barry said I can save her leg. Alexis went in for her big surgery in September 2007. We are thankful for Dr. Barry. What a tremendous surgery he did! He is very caring and excellent doctor. He knew how scared we were.
The surgery was supposed to take longer that day and we waited in the waiting room so nervous and impatient. Dr. Barry came out earlier than what was expected, telling the family that everything went well. I would refer anybody to Dr. Barry. He is an amazing doctor! He saved my daughters life and leg. Without Dr. Barry, I don't know where Alexis would be today. I'm very thankful he was in Las Vegas at the time when she was going through this difficult time.
Alexis is doing great now. She is 18 years old, just graduated and is getting ready to go too college. We can't thank Dr. Barry enough for what he has done for Alexis.
