Kusay Barakat, MD

Dr. Barakat has tended to my whole family . Even my grandmother that lived to be 97 yrs old & my mother which is turning 89 this year & now me & my children. And has taken care of my grandfather & my brothers & sister & my uncles & aunts. So I would highly highly recommend. He's the best around & trust him fully!! Super great all around doctor.

People still think you have leprosy or some debilitating, highly contagious disease even when you are 6 feet apart, with a mask half way down, talking on the phone. It's difficult because not many people understand what you're saying. I had my vaccine 4 months ago, did not get sick, still work and go about my daily routine without people being rude and obnoxious to me. How long did I spend on the phone?...less than half a second. Did not get the name of the nurse though. 333 million people here and 500,000 recoveries, or vice versa. More have recovered from this than me walking in and contaminating the rude nurse in the doctor's office. I will try and stay away from them after my final visit.

When money is more important than a human! I was scheduled for surgery for some other reason than a heart but before the dr. Who is operating can perform that operation, and before the anesthesiologist can perform the anesthesiology, I had to be cleared by a cardiologist because I had a triple bypass. I called Dr. Kusay Barakat s office and made an appointment. The day of the appointment, I walked into the office, I filled all the forms. I gave the forms to the receptionist, then she asked me for my insurance card. I gave her my insurance. Ten minutes later, she comes back telling me they don't take my insurance. I am at that point, after I confirmed the appointment a week earlier, I contacted the doctor and the anesthesiologist to inform them of my appointment with the cardiologist and to go ahead and schedule the operation. The receptionist told me, the Doctor, the office manager, and the billing will not accept my insurance, knowing that I was scheduled for surgery in less than two days. I offered to pay myself for the appointment and the clearance certificate, but they wouldn't take payments because I have insurance, which they don't take. They never once asked me what insurance I have when I made the appointment till the moment I arrived in the office. Is that a Drs office who swore an oath to humanity, or is that a dr who swore an oath to the mighty dollar and none for humankind. It saddens me to be writing these words about a doctor, as I have always looked at them as a godly people who cure our problems and help us in time of need, but every profession has that bad exception, and unfortunate for me, this dr was that one. Thank you.

Office is always friendly & welling to help you. Dr. Barakat is awesome. Always there when you need him. My family & I have been going to him since 1980 and won't change. God Bles

I am not happy with his consultation. I received a bill of 1543$ paid partially by insurence but more than 300$ from my pocket.
