After a couple days of workout, thought I hurt my groin. Had to be sure it wasn't an infection or some other reason I was hurting in the area. They booked me for a quick appointment, and when I got there everything was efficient, moved fast. I didn't see the main doctor but did see the other practitioner operating at that time. They and the staff were pleasant, patient in answering all my questions, and had me checked out and relieved within no time. Glad they are around. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Gregory Barme and the way he cared for me during one of the most painful experiences of my life. I was admitted with a kidney stone that left me literally kneeling by the hospital bed in agony when he first came in to see me. From the moment he walked in, his kind and calm demeanor made a huge difference. He didn't just rush through -- he took the time to explain what was happening, what my options were, and how we could relieve the pain and get me on the path to healing. He treated me like a person, not just a patient in crisis. His expertise was clear, but what stood out most was his compassion. He reassured me in a moment when I felt completely overwhelmed, and he guided me through the procedure with such steady confidence that I felt safe placing my trust in him. Thanks to his care, I am able to move from a place of unbearable pain to healing and stability. I'm deeply grateful to Dr. Barme and would highly recommend him to anyone facing urological issues -- not only for his medical skill, but for the humanity he brings into the room. read more

Some people are born and then trained to become doctors. Dr. Barme was meant to be one. He truly has healing hands. Doctors are not magicians. They do not have all the answers right away. But a great doctor is someone who takes a patient's pain seriously and continues supporting them until a solution is found to ease that pain. That is exactly what Dr. Barme did for me. After being misdiagnosed and having a difficult experience with another surgeon, I finally ended up in Dr. Barme's care. From that point on, I felt heard, supported, and genuinely cared for. Thank you, Dr. Barme, for being the doctor you are. People need physicians like you who truly listen, take health concerns seriously, and are genuinely dedicated to finding solutions. Many many thanks! read more

Everything about the experience at Dr Barme's office was great. Some urologists were quoting appointments in 4 weeks, with surgery 5 months out. Dr Barme had a next day appointment. At the time of the appointment he said he could perform surgery the following day. Ana Victoria was helpful to get everything scheduled for surgery. Couldn't have asked for a better experience and outcome from a kind, skilled doctor. read more

Dr Barme is an exceptional doctor. He takes the time to explain the medical details, processes, and course of treatment in a way that make you feel important and not just one of hundreds of patients. He also has a fun and engaging personality. On one hand I am glad I successfully completed my treatment, but on the other hand I will miss having appointments and time with Dr Barme. read more

Dr Barme is fantastic. Excellent professional clear compassionate doctor/specialist. Big heart. I feel very lucky with him as my urologist. His front seat assistant, Celeste is friendly and very helpful. Great service by all his staff! 5 stars! read more

5-STAR TREATMENT I saw Dr. Barme today, and, in my opinion, he was as good as his solid 5-star reviews suggest. Dr. B. is very warm and personable, and he's very easy to talk to about, um, stuff that's not so easy to talk about. Great "bedside manner." He gave me some advice that sounded reasonable, and he seems to know his stuff. STAFF/OFFICE I am pleased to report that they've done a makeover on the office (last time I was there, several years ago, it was badly in need), and the staff could not have been more pleasant and helpful. Count me a happy patient. read more

I was very nervous, as any male would be when getting old snip, but Dr. Barmé was amazing. He has excellent bedside manner and made the whole procedure so much easier by being knowledgeable and sensitive. His office checked ahead with my insurance before the surgery and was very prompt and responsive, everyone did a great job all around. If you are considering a vasectomy, I can say it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be, and Dr. Barmé was a big part of that In my opinion. If you are in need of a urologist, Dr. Barmé is the one to go to, couldn't have been a better experience. I wouldn't hesitate to see him again if necessary. read more

Dr. Barme successfully help me negotiate one of the toughest periods of time I've ever faced in my life. He's quick, responsive, smart and kind. When it came time to have Sergery, Dr Barme got me set up for success, Performed the Sergery with the best possible results and called my loved ones to tell them that all went according to plan. After Sergery, Dr. Barme was very responsive when communicating and helping me get my leave time paperwork set up and sent out. Dr Barme has also been great at getting me connected with other doctors who can help me with the oncological aspects of my treatment going forward. This is a great Doc, I can't recommend him enough to anyone who needs a urologist. I will be going to him for all my urologic needs going forwards. Thank you Dr. Barme! read more

If you are living in Orange County or Southern California, this urologist is a must see. It is so rare to meet a physician with such wonderful bedside manners and fine surgical skills. I had just gone in to get a Vasectomy. Had a consult visit to go over any questions I might have. Dr. Barme fully answered all my questions and made me feel very comfortable. I scheduled my procedure to be done a week after the consult. Day of procedure. Took about 30 min total. I can tell you that it's almost completely pain free. He places numbing medication and it feels like slight pressure, light pinch, almost not even worth mentioning. Prior to the procedure he had given me a prescription for some medication to help me stay calm and relaxed, much appreciated. You are absolutely in great hands. He comes highly recommended by other physicians and nursing staff. When I had talked to other people about having a vasectomy, they all recommended Dr Barmé in Newport Beach. read more

I've been going to Dr. Barme for a few years for all things health related that my regular doctor or urgent care doesn't normally deal with. He is always friendly and helpful and makes you feel like you are just there for a quick chat and check to see what's happening, always sprinkled good advice and figuring out how to get to the root of the problem. I only removed 1 star because it's often hard to get the receptionist on the phone or have to wait a week or two for appointments. But that's because their office is so popular and get lots of referrals. read more

I had previously seen Dr. Barme for my vasectomy and was really impressed with the experience as I have reviewed a couple years ago. I recently had some abnormal findings show up on an abdominal ultrasound (they thought I had a kidney stone) and my PCP told me to see a urologist. Of course, I went back to Dr. Barme. Second visit was just as good as the first: he was through, personable, and reassuring. Then, his office manager - of her own initiative - stayed through her lunch to get my CT approved with my insurance company. She explained that because my insurance is from another state, it might delay my treatment until tomorrow if she didn't take care of it today before they closed. Wow. I think most folks would just have gone to lunch! Dr. Barme called me immediately after getting the CT results and explained everything to me. I thankfully require no followup, but if I did I'd be really glad Dr. Barme was on the case. Bottom line: if you're in OC and need a urologist, this is the guy to go see. Super-duper-highly recommended for both him and his office staff. read more

I had a prostate TURP by Dr. Barme on June 2, 2020. I am now peeing like I was 20! My prostate had enlarged by March 18th to the point that I had to go to Emergency and be catheterized. The catheter remained in place from March 18th to June 2nd when Dr. Barme was finally able to do the surgery procedure when the hospital allowed it due to the COVID virus. The urologist I previously had I now know was completely incompetent! A good friend recommended Dr. Barme. From the initial visit through my surgery, and my final visit today I will never see another urologist unless it's Dr. Barme! He is absolutely competent, a great sense of humor, and a great bedside manner. The BEST! I took a stack of his business cards and have been handing them to friends. If you have any urology issues, you WILL be more than happy with Dr. Greg Barme! read more

Yesterday afternoon at 3:30PM, Greg performed a vasectomy on me. I am 54 years old. The entire procedure took less that 30 minutes. THE ENTIRE PROCEDURE, FROM START TO FINISH, INCLUDING THE ADMINISTERING OF THE LOCAL ANESTHETIC WAS ABSOLUTELY PAINLESS!!! I mean it PAINLESS. Additionally, Greg and his entire staff, even Cheryl create an atmosphere that is calming, assuring and quite a bit of just plain fun. Sure takes the edge off. My point is to say that for all us guys who are, in my case now were, thinking about having the procedure done and are dealing with the normal trepidation that goes with it, Greg is a skilled surgeon with a manner that makes it easy. Additionally, as I write this review, Saturday morning 10:00 AM, I have no pain at all, no swelling, no bruising and no pain meds necessary. It was a tremendous experience that could not have gone better. Thanks Greg. Joel. read more

Found Dr Barme on Yelp as I needed a Vasectomy. I figured I better find someone else who was happy with a Dr that would be working so closely with your more sensitive areas.... lol. I called his office and scheduled a consultation, very nice staff. The office has lots of sports memorabilia in it which I thought was awesome. I spoke with him for a bit, he answered all my questions and let me know what to expect. At that point I had my "Procedure" not surgery scheduled. The procedure took about 10 minutes. He walked me through the whole thing as it was happening. It was painless. I would suggest Dr Barme for this procedure to anyone who needed it. Great guy! ***little added plus, there is a pharmacy on the bottom floor of his office building where I filled my prescription in 10 minutes. read more

Greg Barmé most likely saved my life! I had seen another urologist who had reviewed my PSA scores, which had been rising over the last few years. The other urologist said, "No need to worry, go home, relax. You're fine." The next PSA score was a bit higher. Consequently, I sought out a urologist less cavalier and more knowledgable. I found Dr. Barmé who reviewed my PSA history and insisted on a biopsy. Under his care, the biopsy was absolutely painless, but unfortunately, the following week, the biopsy came back positive for Prostate cancer. Luckily, he said we caught it early. Dr. Barmé then provided excellent advice on the next steps to take and offered many suggestions as to other doctors who could provide second opinions, and he explained options that were available to me. Dr. Barmé and every staff member in that office acted like my own family. They are compassionate, understanding, knowledgeable, and sensitive. I cannot imagine receiving any better care from any other physician anywhere. In all likelihood, Greg Barmé saved my life. read more

Dr Barme is a real gem. He's s great surgeon and his personality makes you feel positive and confident even when you're really sick. He's the best in Newport Beach. read more

Very upfront and honest made me feel very comfortable. The only awkward thing at all is all the hot nurses around . Not exactly who you want in the room during these types of examinations. But also got me in within afew days of my phone call. Every place I called beside him was a month or 2 mo th wait. Busiest office I've ever been to for sure. But I didn't feel rushed at all. Also the doctor personally called me about a month later to see how I was doing . Needles to say I was shocked by this type of attention and it was very thoughtful. read more

Dr Barme and his staff are awesome. He has a great bedside manner, is informative and knowledgeable. Excellent at what he does.

Love Dr. Barme! Had a couple of painful kidney stones this year and Dr. Barmé took great care of me. Professional, knowledgeable, caring!

Dr. Barme came very highly recommended for a vasectomy. From the initial consultation to the follow-up appointment he and his staff were nothing short of excellent. I would and have recommended him to everyone looking for a great urologist. read more

Very jovial, friendly, knowledgeable, and SO FAST AT RESPONDING TO TEST RESULTS! He calls same day or day after receiving them to tell me the results himself and go over next steps! I don't know where he finds the time or how he gets the results so fast! read more

Unfortunately I was not able to get past the lady that answered the phone to schedule my first appointment. I was on hold for a long time until she picked-up. Then she made me feel like I was dirt and was somehow was bothering her by calling. I was just trying to schedule my first visit to review my labwork results. It's a shame I didn't get to meet Dr Barme of whom everybody speaks so highly about. I wish I didn't experience such a bad first impression. read more

My husband went to Dr. Barme for a varicocele. Dr. Barme was on time, professional, warm and very informative in regards to our options. His billing department was straight forward and there was no shady business like we experienced at Orange County Urology Associates with Dr. Spitz. read more

I've seen Dr. Barme for several years for issues relating to kidney stones. He is one of the best doctors I know. He is very friendly, explains things thoroughly, and has a golden touch when it comes to procedures. The only problem with Dr. Barme is that he has terrible taste in football teams - Go Trojans! As a Doctor, he is great and I would highly recommend him to anyone! read more

From the moment I met Dr. Barme he treated me like an old friend that had known me for years. Wonderful personality and bedside manner and very patient with all of my questions and concerns. If you need a urologist this is your doctor! read more

I did a lot of research before choosing someone I would trust with a vasectomy operation. Several people mentioned Greg to me. The experience was better than I would have imagined. I heard other people's scary vasectomy stories before so I had some fear. I liked that Greg wasn't too old or too young. He had the perfect mixture of fresh education and experience. I liked his funny nature. He was very easy to talk to and it was never awkward. The office location is great. The procedure went really quick and I didn't feel a thing. I would highly recommend Greg if you are considering such an operation. My operation was about a year ago. read more

Dr. Barme & Carrie are the absolute BEST. I have been going to them for a long time for an ongoing problem. Dr. Barme has the best bedside manner of any doctor I have ever gone to.. Due to a change in my insurance, I will be unable to go to him after the end of the year & I am truly upset as I know I won't find anyone as caring and knowledgeable. Thanks, Dr. Barme Carol read more

Thank God I made the decision, a bit late in the overall process , to switch my care to Dr. Barme. I found him to be genuinely concerned in my problems and we'll being while recommending a well thought out medical plan to resolve my significant issues. After several possible treatment discussions we decided Turp surgery offered the best route to follow. The surgery and results went quite well and I feel like a new "younger" man. I refer to Dr. Barme as "The Man" and I'll be a Cal. Bear fan for life in his honor. read more

Love this guy. Just had a vasectomy and it was a quick, painless procedure. Dr. Barme listened to my questions and concerns. In addition, he cares and wants to make sure you're as comfortable as possible through the entire process. He has personality too. No brainer if you need a Urologist in the OC area. read more

Dr. Greg Barme has been my hubby's urologist for over a period of treatment and surgeries. Through this difficult time, he has made it easier to handle. Dr. Barme is an A plus physician, excellent with Med- friendly explanations. We are so pleased and blessed to have found him. You could not be in better hands. The office staff is great. Thank you Dr. Barme. read more

Dr. Barme, I hope you see this review. I was referred to you by my Cardiologist who had very high praises of you. When I called to schedule an appointment to have my Prostate checked I was on hold for ever, and when the lady came on she asked me for my number and said they would call me back to schedule the appointment, which I thought was weird being that all they would have had to do was look in their computer as to when the next opening was and then schedule me. I gave them my number and they called me back over an hour later. The lady that called this time was very rude. She acted like scheduling an appointment was such a huge deal and made me feel like you guys don't really care if you get the business or not. I gave her all of my information during which the whole time she made you feel like she really didn't want to schedule you. There definately were not a not any warm and fuzzies coming from this women. I told her that because she was so rude to take me off the schedule that I was going to go elsewhere. If you want to be treated like CRAP, then feel free to give these guys a call. If you want to be treated in a professional manner I would suggest going elsewhere. read more

Dr. Barme is the best doctor I have the privilege to be treated for prostrate problems. I was in a real bad shape when I first saw him three years ago. He is a charming and a very gentle doctor. As for his college football preferences, even though he is CAL Berkeley man, he puts up with my torturing him for our game between Cal and Stanford. We have beaten Berkeley badly for last four years! GO STANFORD! read more

Dr. Greg Barme is without a doubt, the BEST urologist I've ever been to. After suffering a spinal cord injury at 16, I was thrown from doctors to doctors that really could careless about my medical issues. Dr. Barme genuinely cares about his patients - he makes extra time in his day to go above and beyond normal doctor protocal. He has spent countless appointments with me asking about my mental state along with my physical state. His medical recommendations are cutting edge and have honestly changed my life in the best way. If it wasn't for him going out of his way to get my medication that was denied multiple times by my insurance company that it was a necessity to get covered. He is more than a 5-star rating. Not to mention his staff is super friendly and helpful. They are always accomdating any need you may have with a smiling face. This is a doctor's office you absolutely will not dread going to. Thank you Dr. Barme - I wish there were more well educated, caring and sincere doctors like you. You are the best! read more

What do I look for in a doctor? Knowledge, professionalism, and being competent. Friendly and caring are a plus. Being able to make you feel like your health and well being are important. Dr. Barme is all of this. From the moment I met him, he made me feel like he cares. He takes the time to listen to my questions and never hurries me. His answers are sincere. He's been with me during some difficult times and has always given sound advice. I have the utmost confidence in him. read more
