I really appreciate doctors like Dr. Barsky. His office staff is extremely professional, and efficient. He takes his time with each patient and is bilingual in both Russian and English like all of his staff! As this was my first allergist appointment and I was scared/nervous he took his time and left me with minimal to no discomfort. He is so calming and sweet. When I first arrived I brought him a huge envelope with all these medical records he has to go through and he went through each page! He even went as far as to take the time to talk to my doctor and discuss my previous diagnostic tests/care. He is very thorough, extremely thorough and has been in practice a very long time. His allergy/immunology experience is over 25 years and I can’t commend him enough on his bedside manner. He’s funny and corky and not at all intimidating! I wish that Dr. Barsky did internal medicine because he’s just so awesome! He kept me in his office to do an allergy test that required monitoring me in 25 minute intervals which took about three hours. He is awesome! His staff also helped me in discussing my asthma management and performing a pulmonary function test. The staff was very patient and efficient. Office in Brooklyn is very clean and they offer lots of magazines, television and water! Appointments are not very difficult to make but I highly recommend making one. Parking in his Brooklyn office is difficult so leave some extra time. As a nurse I rarely get along with my doctors because we as nurses tend to «know to much» but as a rare occasion I found a doctor who can take me and we can laugh while he provides me with exceptional care. From a full time health care provider with a strong medical background doctors like him are hard to find!
