As most people my age with several kids, I have had my share of interaction with doctors and hospitals. I can honestly say that I have never had such a positive experience before. Beginning with my initial visit and continuing through many visits and a couple of surgeries, everyone in this office was friendly, efficient and wonderful to deal with. Even after my discharge, I have had several interactions with the office staff related to insurance matters and the response, efficiency and cooperation has been beyond outstanding. Awesome job all around.

I had a terrible accident and was sent to the ER the next day I had surgery on my finger and Dr. Barakat performed a surgery on my index finger. He did a splendid job! Because I barely see the scar. The ladies in physical therapy Sharon, Laura and Wendy are amazing! They really pushed me and after a successful 13 weeks I finally have movement in my finger. They’re the sweetest therapists I ever had and I would definitely recommend them to anyone. Thank you so much to everyone in this department. I am very happy with my results thanks to all of you I mentioned.

My experience here had been nothing short or exceptional! I broke my hand in September and had to have surgery. Dr. Barakat eased my tension about the surgery! I also had my therapy here and Sharon and Laura are the absolute greatest! 100% recommend coming here for all your hand needs!

The staff at this facility are very professional. The doctor did an excellent job repairing a cut tendon, explaining everything along the way. The therapist at this facility are the best. They are very thorough and informative on the various treatments and exercises being used. And if that's not enough they are super sweet

Broke my hand back in March and came here for surgery and physical therapy. Dr Barakat did the surgery and took care of everything. The OT team made sure my recovery was on track and kept me entertained

“The care provided to my patients at Midwest Hand Surgery (MHS) has been second to none. Even the most complex clinical cases have had outcomes that often exceed expectations. The physicians demonstrate superior clinical and surgical skills and collectively provide compassion and care at its highest standard. Possibly most importantly, I’ve been so impressed with their humility and down-to-earth nature providing wonderful care for each and every patient I’ve referred to MHS. Lastly, I can think of no greater endorsement than entrusting in MHS the treatment of my wife, daughter, and most recently my sister!”

“Entrusting the care of my patients to another physician is one of the most important decisions that I make, and I have found Midwest Hand Surgery to be a group of outstanding clinicians. Their staff is great in scheduling patients quickly and the surgeons do exceptional work. On top of the excellent outcomes, my patients are pleased with the time spent on explaining the plan of care and surgical procedure and the close attention to comfort and healing on follow-up. Every patient that I have referred to Midwest Hand Surgery has had a great experience and top-notch care.”
