I was a patient of Dr Barrick when he first came into practice in Colo. Spgs. He was caring and a very good Dr. but when he became a MD he was not very good. I had sinus issues, sent me to an allergist he took expats and sent them to Berrick. I went back to Barrick and he told me I had a sinus infection and placed me on a high anti-biotic which gave tennis elbow problems. I took his word for it and months later I looked at the results from the allergist, he said I didn't have sinus infection. A year later I went back to Barrick for different symptoms I was experiencing. He would just send me to a specialist and they would take care of my problem A year after going to these specialists I was having more problems, I went back to him and he did some blood tests. He had his nurse call me soon and told me to get into his office immediately. I came in that day and he saw me and told me I was a diabetic and needed to be on insulin. I almost died due to very high sugar levels of an A1C 13. I later asked him why didn't he check my blood sooner? He smiled and said I didn't look like a diabetic. HUH!! So I almost died because I didn't look diabetic. read more

Our family saw Dr. Barrick for a couple of years. He started out nice but before long his bedside manner took a nose dive. There were a couple of times I was treated rudely but the time that upset me the most was when I went in to see him for my back- it was what I call "locked up." Difficulty walking and getting up and down. I struggled with terrible pain just to get to his office, only to be treated like I was an inconvenience. He wanted me to lay down on the exam table, so I let him convince me to do so, so that we could complete my assessment. BAD idea. I was stuck on that exam table! I held out my hand and said I'm going to need a little assistance getting up to which he replied as he was walking out the door, " I'll have someone come in," like he was afraid to touch my hand and give me a hand up. I laid on that table for half an hour, with lightning pain through my back every time I tried to get up. No one came back into that room, so I thankfully had my cell phone on me and called my husband at work. He drove over from his office, came in a side door, helped me up off the table and drove me home. That was not the only time I felt like an outcast in his presence, but I was finally able to get in with another practice and have never had a problem like that again. Hopefully this helps some people in their decision about whether or not to go to this practice. read more

I title this review: "First, do no harm." I am 70 years old and am writing this review because I was booted out of Dr. Barrick's practice with no prior notification. I have some diseases that unfortunately are not recognized by conventional medical practitioners. Dr. Barrick totally believed a previous Lyme disease diagnosis I had received by a naturopath. Although he was supportive, he stated he could not diagnose me himself. (That has to do with the climate surrounding the CDC's stance on Lyme disease and another story entirely.) However, when I attempted to update Dr. Barrick about my other recent diagnoses by other specialists, he threw up his hands in frustration stating, "I can't do this anymore!" Then he proceded to question me with "How do you know you have...? Where's the supporting labwork? You refuse to believe everyone who doesn't agree with you." I stated, "Well you believed me regarding my Lyme diagnosis." He responded, "I've changed my mind. I have the right to do that." His obvious frustration was reflected in the tone of his voice. Granted, Dr. Barrick totally had the right to disagree with me, but he was rude and cut me down. Further, there was no warning. When I broke down and cried saying, "Where will I find another PCP." He responded, "You'll find someone." Needless to say, I was devastated and throughly humiliated. He appeared to have turned 180 degrees against me within a few moments...a totally different person than the kind doctor who initially greeted me. To top it off, his assistant escorted me to the outside door. To his credit, he at least wrote me a script for my Thyroid medication before his assistant ushered me out the door. Perhaps Dr. Barrick is competent and a fine doctor for those with conventional medical needs. He seems to get positive reviews. Moreover, he is very cordial. However, he definitely did me harm through his rudeness and demeaning attitude toward me. Looking back, in my time with him, I don't think he ever examined me, instead sitting behind a computer typing away while I shared. I personally believe Dr. Barrick felt threatened by diagnoses he had no knowledge of. I would have understood if he had stated something like, "Well, I don't agree with you and I'm probably not the right doctor for you. However, I will keep you in my practice for another 30 days while you look for another physician." Unfortunately, this was not the case. I wish Dr. Barrick no harm, but I'm dismayed at his treatment of me. read more

I like Dr Barrick. I even suffered through dealing with the harridan he had for an office manager few years ago and still came back for more because I had confidence in the doctor. But, now that he's changed his practice to concierge medicine, I can no longer afford to go there. I suppose if you're wealthy and can afford upwards of $1500+ annual fee just to walk in the door, you might like this practice. Alas, it's out of my league. read more

Dr. Barrick and his staff took care of our family for over 20 years, until I had to leave the area. We found them to be the best general physicians of our experiences. Their medical knowledge and expertise was always right on, even when symptoms were ambiguous, and the illness uncommon. We were so sorry when we had to leave the area, knowing we would never again have the depth of care. Tad and Cheryl read more

Dr Barrick is an awesome family doctor. He always takes his time to listen and always gives options for treatment. He has a new staff that is much friendlier then his past staff. I highly recommend Dr Barrick. read more
