General Practitioners

• Emergency Care
  Due to the fact that we provide Emergency care to those with life threatening illnesses, even after you have confirmed your appointment, Dr. Barry or Dustin Tims, PA-C may be called away. Rarely, your appointment may have to be rescheduled as a result. We regret the inconvenience to you but hope you’ll understand our desire to help patients when they need us the most. If Dr. Barry leaves for an emergency, Dustin Tims PA-C may see you, or Dr. Barry may see you after a delay. Alternatively, we may have to reschedule your appointment. We make every effort to see rescheduled patients as soon as possible.

Neurologists

• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
  An EMG/NCV is sometimes recommended to assess the electrical activity of nerves in the arms or legs. Compression or chronic irritation of a nerve will slow electrical conduction along that nerve. This can also result in changes affecting the muscle supplied by that nerve. By placing small needles into various muscles, these changes can be detected by EMG. Application of a small current can show slowing in NCV. They are used to diagnose nerve entraptment such as carpal tunnel syndrome, neuropathy and radiculopathy.

Radiologist

• MRI
  The most useful imaging study available for the diagnosis of the majority of brain, spine, and spinal cord problem. MRI scans provide highly detailed images of non bony anatomy.
• X-Rays
• Computed Tomography
  A CT scan is a highly detailed x-ray that can provide images of the body in different views. Like an x-ray, a CT scan works by shooting an x-ray beam through the body. Next, a computer is used to reformat the image into cross sections of the spine. Like xrays, they provide excellent bony detail, and are useful for evaluating fractures and other bony lesions. They do provide useful information about some soft tissue lesions, such as very dense tumors.

Surgeons

• General Surgery
  We provide compassionate surgical services for patients diagnosed with primary and metastatic brain tumors. With radiation oncologists, we can offer a minimally invasive alternative for treating many brain tumors. Caring for patients following traumatic injuries is also a part of our practice and we provide a range of services related to treating traumatic cranial injuries.
• Neurosurgery
  A graduate of Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine, Dr. Barry completed his neurological surgery residency at the University of Iowa.  Following his year as chief resident, Dr. Barry accepted the invitation to complete a spine fellowship and junior faculty appointment at the University of Iowa.  Dr. Barry is the Director of Neurosurgery at Oklahoma Heart Hospital South.  He specializes in treating surgical disorders and injuries of the brain, spine and peripheral nerves. Dr. Barry is regarded as an expert in cutting-edge neurosurgical and spine surgery techniques.

Dermatologists

• Lesions
  A myelogram consists obtaining xrays of a region of the spine after injecting a radiographically opaque dye (dye that can be seen on x-rays) into the sac around the nerve roots. When combined with a myelogram, a CT scan provides for excellent nerve detail. The myelogram adds additional risk to the CT scan( such as a spinal headache) but provides substantial information about the spinal cord, spinal canal and nerve roots as well as any lesions that may narrow the spinal canal. First the myelogram is performed by a radiologist then the CT scan is obtained.

Physical Therapists

• Physical Therapy
  When I went in for the surgery, all of Dr. Barry's staff and the hospital staff at St. Anthony's made sure that I was comfortable and well taken care of. The surgery was an incredible success. I could tell an immediate difference in how my neck and shoulder felt. After three weeks of physical therapy, I felt like a new man.
