Sports Medicine Doctors - Las Vegas, NV

"was referred to Dr. Barnes at UNLV Health/rainbow office for foot surgery, had a good first appointment, went over what was wrong and what he was going to do with the surgery. said yes and we needed to wait for pre-authorization.....now fast fwd 4 weeks later and still haven't heard from him or office about it, nobody answers the phone no matter what option you pick and nobody returns calls after leavening multiple messages over 3 weeks. had already called insurance to see if anything was pending and they advised me there was nothing. so, after 4 weeks of waiting and they haven't even submitted anything yet. stopped into office and asked about my pend surgery and lady at front desk couldn't find anything and didn't know anything. gave me the typical excuse that doctor is on vacation and no other staff is here for him, she said they will have to call me back, LMAO told her sure they will, nobody answers the phone or returns calls. now here we are another week and half plus later and the doctor finally calls me back today 3/6/23 to say they have the preauthorization, told him no freaking way would I trust you now after 5 plus weeks of leaving me hanging, not returning calls. advised him it will never happen with him. just to make sure they aren't going to try and push some bogus bills I called my insurance company and had them check on the preauth and was told they still don't show anything so it's very clear Dr. Barnes was lying yet again. Dr. Barnes should have his medical license taken away and is clearly a FRAUD, he obviously doesn't care since he left me hanging and in pain for another 5 plus weeks. beyond pathetic treatment"

"Sat long time in lobby and then also in the waiting room. Dr came in like " big stuff" didn't introduce himself or even shake my hand. Went in for right heel Plantar Fasciitis. He said he couldn't see my MRI results on computer so only able to read the summary. He suggested painful expensive plasma injection and what is funny, he didn't even touch or look at my heel!! How could he suggest any kind of treatment! Needless to say, not going to do it and NOT going back to him or this office. He was very unprofessional!!"
