  • Dr. Barkoh is amazing. He’s kind, patient and listens to give the best feedback and options available. He made my first surgery the best experience ever. I felt comfortable and safe in the hands of the entire team. From the office to the hospital. He even called me personally post surgery to follow up. I recommend Dr. Barkoh with 10 thumbs up. He’s my #1 pick.

  • Dr. Barkoh is the best spine surgeon I've dealt with. I've had a previous fusion at L5/S1 and I was having problems at L4/L5. I was in a lot of pain before surgery. He listened to my concerns, we tried other nonsurgical methods first because I was against another back surgery.
    We finally made the decision to perform the surgery and eventhough I was nervous about the absence of my pain pump after surgery, his method of getting you up and walking really helped. He likes to come in your room and open the curtains if you're in bed, but my recovery was great. My recovery with this second back surgery was so much easier and quicker than my first, which he DID NOT PERFORM.
    I would recommend him because he listens, explains, great bedside manner, he makes sure the hospital staff gives you what you need and just an overall great Doctor.

  • My experience has been 1st Class. Great surgeon and friendly staff. My post-Op experience from a double fusion has been painful, but never more than a pain level 3. All around a wonderful organization.

  • Omg ! Dr. Kaku Barkoh are the bomb.com….. this doctor are so patient and kind to his patients. He show that he are really concern about their well being and the health of all of his patients. My husband Bobby Johnson had spinal cord surgery and everything went very good and now my husband are doing 100% better than before he meet Dr. Barkoh. I swear this doctor has changed my husband’s life for the good. Lol I no longer have to hear my husband complaining about his pain at night. Thanks a lot Dr. Barkoh I can finally rest at night with no complaints from my husband about him paining. There isn’t enough numbers to count on what I will rate this doctor on. He are very trustworthy and explains to the patient and the patient love ones very clearly and understandable. Thanks again Dr. Barkoh I will be referring anyone I know that needs orthopedic surgery to you for sure.

  • Dr.Barkol is an amazing surgeon. He took the time to listen to my concerns about my body and gave me several different options to choose from. His staff is professional and very helpful. I would highly recommend Dr Barkol

  • Dr. Barkoh and his staff are amazing! He has great bedside manner, thoroughly explains what’s going on/the problem, and truly wants to get to the root of the issue. Before having surgery, he let me know my options, and didn’t just jump right into surgery (that was a huge plus for me). Even though I did end up having surgery, in the beginning, we came up with a plan to minimize my pain to see if that would help; though it did for a little while, ultimately the pain was too much. At that point, I was ready to take the next step. Dr. Barkoh performed my surgery and it went very well! My family and I are so thankful to have found Lonestar Orthopedic!

    T. Davis

  • The staff was amazing. I felt at ease immediately. They were very helpful in all areas getting registered, etc.
    Dr Barkoh was wonderful. He explained everything thoroughly with slides, diagrams and teaching about the spine. He was not pushy about surgery, but explained how surgery could help increase the quality of my life.
    I trust Dr Barkoh and am looking forward to surgery with great results.

    Joyce Obst

  • Dr. Barkoh and his Staff are great. I went to him for a spinal injury and am doing 100% better now, headed for full recovery. Thank you and your Staff for taking care of me.

  • Dr Barkoh is an exceptional surgeon, and his staff is top notch. Everyone there it's incredibly friendly, and Dr Barkoh is one of the few doctors who really listens. I can't recommend him enough. If you need back surgery, he's your guy.

    Gordon Alpha

  • Dr. Barkoh is very professional and listens to you and gives you the opportunity to ask all the questions you have! Then he goes over everything and gives you the opportunity to ask more questions! His surgery scheduler Irma is so, helpful and caring! She works really hard to accommodate the day and time you need. Norma who answers the phone and works the front desk is very friendly.

    Shannan Moore

    Tanner Eaves

  • Dr. Barkoh did an amazing job with my husbands back surgery. I will definitely recommend him to family and friends in need.

  • Dr. Barkoh and his staff were professional and friendly. They answered questions in a way that was easy to understand. Dr. Barkoh gave me a relaxed feeling; he encouraged my participation in the session. I was impressed with him, Sandra, Victoria and Alex.

    Ken Washington

  • Dr Barkoh did a microdiscectomy and decompression on my back less than 3 weeks ago after years of torturous pain. He said he has an 80% positive outcome and I felt peace about it so I went with it. Yesterday I walked over a mile in the park, pain free. I've been pain free since I woke up in the recovery room except for some surgical pain. It was a minimally invasive surgery and I am so thankful that i was referred to him by Dr Mann. He was an answer to my prayers!

    Bev Hiller

  • FRIENDLY STAFF I LOVE THEM PLUS THERE OFFICE IS LOCATED INSIDE KINGWOOD HOSPITAL.

    Ephraim Scott

  • Dr. Barkoh is the kindest surgeon with unbelievable humility that is a rarity found among the elite profession in which he practices within. Not only is he highly skilled as an orthopedic surgeon, but also possesses a working knowledge uniquely acquired under the cross-training and scrutiny of a team of neurosurgeons simultaneously as he was mentored by a team of orthopedic surgeons. However, Dr. Barkok refuses to let this dual education cloud his judgement in any circumstance that necessitates the participation or the full expertise of a neurosurgeon or any other such professional. He's never too overzealous or pompous to answer every question or clarify any confusion. Although I've been waiting for a corrective surgery and yet another surgery, Dr. Barkoh has been diligent in diagnostic testing but I still feel completely confident that he has my best interest in mind and is trying to perform both surgeries before my insurance ends in May.

    Me

  • From the beginning, everyone was Great!! From the front desk, to Dr. Barkoh's assistant and especially Dr. Barkoh. I have a neck injury C4-C6 and a compression fracture of t4. I am terrible with names, but I do know Darleen ??(Her name started with a "D" ps Sorry D ) anyway, she was great with getting me in to see Dr. Barkoh the very next day. I was obviously struggling with the diagnosis i had received from the previous surgeon and also in a lot of pain. The staff was very welcoming and I only had to wait a few minutes before being taken back. Dr. Barkoh took theTIME to sit down with me and really explain my MRI images and what my choices are. Unlike the surgeon I met with at another facility that only said basically, "you need surgery". I can't tell you how much more comfortable I felt after talking with Dr. Barkoh even though the discussion of surgery is very scary. I am very grateful that I found Lone Star and Dr. Barkoh.

  • Dr. Barkoh is great! My surgery was a success! Thank you!

    Abbott Tellis

  • Amazing!!! We started with Dr. Barkoh before he came to HCA, and what should have been a confusing nightmare, was the easiest transition ever. Thanks to him and his amazing back up, namely Courtney, we never missed a step. Communication and follow thru is above and beyond. Courtney is always upbeat and positive and makes the appointments a much better experience. My husband's condition is only going to get worse as time goes on, but Dr. Barkoh gives us a fighting chance. He is a very kind and patient man. We will be patient's forever.

    Private

  • I was scared about potential back surgery. Dr. B explained my condition in detail and explained my options. After 6 years of suffering he gave me my life back. He was professional, kind, knowledgeable and spent all the time I needed to understand all of my options. Back problems...? He is the man.

    Denis O'Donnell

  • Dr. Barkoh listened to my concerns and made the necessary recommendations. The office staff were friendly and professional. I would refer this office to my friends and family.

  • Dr. Barkoh recently performed a laminectomy on my L3/L4 lumbar spine vertebrae. He told me it would be a minimal invasive surgery but I had no idea just how minimal it would be. Dr. Barkoh is really up to date with the new procedures for spine surgery. My research on the internet indicating the complete removal of the lamina ended up being old school procedures. When he showed me what he actually did to expand the spinal canal at this site I was speechless. I went from not being able to walk very far without stopping and stretching to virtually pain free walking with the only slight discomfort in the surgical site area. It has only been 2 weeks since surgery and I am already release to proceed with life. How wonderful. I would recommend Dr. Barkoh to anyone experiencing spine issues. Wonderful and amazing doctor.

I visited Dr. Barkoh, he did plenty of diferent tests before surgery to make sure he was treating the right point, surgery was successful they got me walking the next day after surgery, now three weeks after surgery I start walking short distance with out any help just by myself. Dr. Barkoh is very professional and his clinic assistant Courtney she did a great job moving the insurance paper work quick and all his clinic staff, thank you Dr. Barkoh.

  • Dr Barkoh and his staff treated me as though I was a family member and not just another patient. I had a nearly unbearable pain down my left leg which caused by a pinched nerve in my spine. Dr. Barkoh performed spinal surgery to remove the bone and/or cartilage constricting said nerve, and completely ended the pain. And his staff was courteous, friendly and not once did they act like was a nuisance when I called with questions or concerns Five stars out of five for Dr. Barkow and his staff, and I would happily recommend Lone Star Orthopaedics to anyone suffering from a spinal issue like me

  • I transitioned from Dr. Barkho's previous office and his MA, Courtney remembered me after not seeing them for over a year. So glad he opened an office in the Humble/Kingwood area. Everyone in the office is knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. Thanks Courtney, Norma and Victoria. Dr. Barkho is a very accomplished, skilled and caring physician/surgeon. He explains everything and takes time with you. After my successful surgery he came to see me three times during my two days in the hospital which was much appreciated. Recommend Dr. Barkoh with no hesitation.

  • Dr. Barkoh is a wonderfully skilled surgeon. I had severe back pain that radiated down the front of my leg to my foot. I could not stand straight or walk without limiting. He performed a TLIF and decompression of my nerves and I was up the same day and the pain was gone. Because of the way he performed the surgery (minimally invasive), I was back to work in 2 weeks. He and his staff, Sandra, Courtney and Victoria were awesome. So friendly and responsive. Dr. Barkoh takes his time and answers every question you have and doesn’t rush you. He checked up on me after the surgery! I’m so happy to be pain free! Very accomplished young man and it shows in the results!

  • I am eternally grateful to Dr. Barkoh and his staff. I am completely healed of my pain and can now continue my life without medication, walking aids or having to stay home. For about a year, my lower back pain had become unbearable. For several years, it has been progressing and I worked as a landscaper so I assume that hard work is what caused my damage over the years. I went to so many doctors and countless Chiropractic appointments all resulting in no relief from my pain. I was put on one medicine after another and this only made my days foggy and lazy. I saw Lone Star Orthopaedic Institute while going to the Records department to get my x-ray results that yet another doctor ordered and I went in, told them my problem and asked if they could help me. They made me an appointment for the next day and Dr. Barkoh saw me and my x-rays and explained what was wrong and said it was a very common injury and easy to fix. I felt very comfortable with him and his explanation. God Bless

  • I had a L-5 S-1 slip- Spondylothesis. I had tried other outpatient surgeries to help with my condition. Nothing was elevating the pain and my quality of life was deteriorating. I consulted with Dr. Barkoh. He was so patient, understanding and knowledgeable. I decided it was time for surgery. This was my last resort and honestly, I was scared to go under the knife. I had 360 spinal fusion. Which means, anterior and posterior fusion. From the moment I woke up from surgery I could feel relief immediately. This surgery changed my life! No more pain!! Thank you Dr. Barkoh!

  • I want to thank Doctor Barkoh for for the excellent job he did on my neck fusion. After suffering from neck and back pain for 4 decades, and trying every available option, I finally met with Doctor Barkoh. Now 2 months after surgery, I feel great and getting better daily. I'm back to my hobbies again, which I gave up on for a year from the depression/pain. I can also spend quality time with my new grand daughter. Thanks for giving me my life back.
