EXCELLENT Based on 37 reviews Posted on Lilo SpearTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am a 70y.o. woman. Dr. Barlow performed a full replacement surgery on my right knee. It has changed my life. It has been 10 months since the surgery and I am now able to walk 4 to 5 miles without pain. I have also resumed writing my bike and working out at the gym. It was an amazing experience. The care I received from Dr. Barlow and his team as well as the PT team was first class. I could not have asked for more support or better professional care. I am deeply thankful to Dr. Barlow for giving me my lifestyle back.Posted on BenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Outstanding orthopedic surgeon.Did my RH knee with no issue. Waiting to do my LH knee next month. A five star orthopedic surgeon/doctor.Posted on LMTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Barlow is an exceptional orthopedic surgeon. He performed a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) on my knee, and my experience was positive from start to finish. Dr. Barlow’s proactive approach and wonderful bedside manner made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. I am so grateful for his skill and care.Posted on Aaron BurtonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Barlow was fantastic for my hip surgery. He went above and beyond and it was clear that not only did he care about my health, but is an expert in his field. If I had to do this all again, I would pick him.Posted on danny hooudeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was fortunate to have Dr. Barlow as my surgeon for a hip arthroplasty surgery performed at the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center (LRMC). Dr. Barlow provided comprehensive and clear information I required to make an informed decision on the surgery in two separae consults. He flew from Spain to Germany just to perform the surgery. The service I received from the various departments (Radiology, Laboratory, pre-surgical, surgical and post- surgical care) at the LRMC has been outstanding and first class. It’s one-week post-surgery and couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome so far.Posted on Michiyo “Mike” MontagueTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 14 Feb 2026: Google won't let me add another review. It will only allow me to add to an already posted review so this is my addition to the post below dated Nov 2025. As mentioned in that post, I stated my first total hip replacement (THR) was on 2 Oct 2025 and my second would be 15 Jan 2026. I am now 4 weeks post surgery from my 2nd THR and all is well. Dr. Barlow is the best orthopedic doctor I have encounted in my 30 years of military service and years in the civilian sector. At 65, I was a bit worried but was assured by Dr. Barlow that THR is a highly successful surgery. I might add, if in the hands of a highly trained and skilled doctor. That defines Dr. Barlow and his talks put me at ease. The results of both THRs have been highly successful. My first hip was in perfect working order prior to my 2nd THR, 3 months after my first. So, I know in a few more months, this hip will be just fine because it feels great at 4 weeks. As stated below, after the first THR, if you have the chance to receive care under Dr. Barlow, you can go with confidence. Nov 2025: I’m a 30-year retired military veteran living in Rota, Spain. When I first met Dr. Barlow at the base hospital, he told me he was building the capability for our small military hospital to perform knee and hip replacements. He needed equipment, staffing and resources so he went out and made it happen, then started performing joint replacements with impressive skill. I had my first hip replacement on 2 October 2025 and played golf again on 23 November, shooting under 80. My next hip replacement is scheduled for 15 January 2026, and I actually look forward to it because everyone I have spoken with under Dr. Barlow’s care here has had great results. Dr. Barlow explained every step clearly, and the surgery went exactly as he described. His confidence and experience put me at ease from day one. He has a reputation across the military medical community for excellent surgical work, and he lives up to it. If you have the chance to receive care from Dr. Barlow, take it. He’ll make a real difference in your quality of life.Posted on Juan VivarTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would like to express my deepest gratitude and sincere admiration for Dr. Barlow and the entire Naval Hospital team for the exceptional care I received during my total knee replacement. From the very beginning, Dr. Barlow was thorough, methodical, and highly professional. He took the time to ensure I felt informed and comfortable throughout every stage — pre-op, surgery, and post-op care. His expertise and genuine compassion gave me complete confidence in the process. The outcome of my surgery has exceeded my expectations, and I am truly thankful for the outstanding care I received. As I prepare for my second knee replacement, I would not trust anyone else but Dr. Barlow. I strongly recommend him to anyone in need of orthopedic care.Posted on Chie SjohTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After the extraordinary outcome of my wife’s first hip replacement under Dr. Barlow’s care, we didn’t hesitate to return to him for her second hip surgery. Dr. Barlow and his team made it possible to schedule the procedure quickly, which was critical as we prepared to move back to the States. The surgery went smoothly, and just hours afterward my wife was able to stand and take her first steps. Within two weeks she was walking over six kilometers in a single day! Throughout both procedures, Dr. Barlow’s expertise, responsiveness and thoughtful coordination turned what could have been an overwhelming situation into something manageable and reassuring. His team helped us prepare everything in advance before coming to Rota, and we were able to complete all necessary follow-up appointments within two weeks before returning home. The Navy Lodge, located right next to the US Navy Hospital in Rota, made staying there convenient, and its staff went above and beyond to support us before, during and after both surgeries. We are extremely grateful for Dr. Barlow and his entire team. The results of both hip replacements have been nothing short of remarkable, and we would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Barlow. Thank you Sir!Posted on Gabriel BascoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My 85 year old mother recently underwent a total knee replacement with Dr. Barlow, and we couldn't have had a more positive experience with Dr Barlow’s and his team. He treated my mother with sincere concern and respect from the very first visit to her last follow-up visit, he was patient in explaining every step and made sure she understood what to expect. He listened to her concerns, especially as they related to pain control, and made changes so she was comfortable and cared for. I really felt he really cared about my mother’s recovery and well-being. The day of surgery, Dr. Barlow's upbeat and relaxed attitude reassured my mother and myself, he told us that my was in good hands, and he meant it. Every one in his team was outstanding and caring. Even after surgery, we were amazed at how clean and precise the incision was, the sutures could have been done by a plastic surgeon. That sort of attention to detail show me how proud he is of his work. It's not every day you find a doctor who actually takes the time to treat his patients like real persons and who remains interested in their recovery, but that's exactly what Dr. Barlow does.Posted on John KaleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highest praise for Dr Brian Barlow, a complete professional in every way. Not only were his exceptional skills on full display during my total knee replacement surgery, his pre-op guidance and positive approach instilled confidence and trust. Also noteworthy was the way his support team of doctors and staff performed in a particularly fluid, almost coreographed manner, reflecting their dedication and know how not only on themselves, but especially on Dr Barlow’s leadership. Great experience in every way, especially considering the complexity of this procedure! Grateful for his military service … a true officer and gentleman. John Kale
