Greg Barme, MD

Dr barme performed a vasectomy that went perfectly smooth. I would highly recommend him

Great doctor and explains thoroughly. Saw him for a vasectomy and everything went smoothly. I was able to have the procedure on a Friday so I was back at work on Monday.

Found Dr Barme on Unilocal as I needed a Vasectomy. I figured I better find someone else who was happy with a Dr that would be working so closely with your more sensitive areas… lol.
I called his office and scheduled a consultation, very nice staff. The office has lots of sports memorabilia in it which I thought was awesome. I spoke with him for a bit, he answered all my questions and let me know what to expect. At that point I had my «Procedure» not surgery scheduled.
The procedure took about 10 minutes. He walked me through the whole thing as it was happening. It was painless.
I would suggest Dr Barme for this procedure to anyone who needed it. Great guy!
***little added plus, there is a pharmacy on the bottom floor of his office building where I filled my prescription in 10 minutes.

Love this guy. Just had a vasectomy and it was a quick, painless procedure. Dr. Barme listened to my questions and concerns. In addition, he cares and wants to make sure you’re as comfortable as possible through the entire process. He has personality too. No brainer if you need a Urologist in the OC area.

Dr. Greg Barme is without a doubt, the BEST urologist I’ve ever been to. After suffering a spinal cord injury at 16, I was thrown from doctors to doctors that really could careless about my medical issues. Dr. Barme genuinely cares about his patients — he makes extra time in his day to go above and beyond normal doctor protocal. He has spent countless appointments with me asking about my mental state along with my physical state. His medical recommendations are cutting edge and have honestly changed my life in the best way. If it wasn’t for him going out of his way to get my medication that was denied multiple times by my insurance company that it was a necessity to get covered. He is more than a 5-​star rating.
Not to mention his staff is super friendly and helpful. They are always accomdating any need you may have with a smiling face. This is a doctor’s office you absolutely will not dread going to.
Thank you Dr. Barme — I wish there were more well educated, caring and sincere doctors like you. You are the best!

Dr. Barme is a caring, compassionate and smart human being. And a little funny… at least he thinks so! He takes time to carefully listen to his patients. My experience with this doctor is more than a five star rating !!! The office staff is also exceptional… especially Cheryl and Allie. I dont feel like Im at the doctor’s.I feel like Im at the home of friends! I had a tumor in my bladder. Dr. Barme accommodated me and my situation in ways that went above and beyond any doctor I’ve been to. He knew right away what was wrong and took immediate steps toward treating. He performed surgery, removed the tumor and its been a year and it hasnt come back!
Thank you Dr. Barme I wish there were more skillful and well educated doctors like you and more caring and kind staffs like yours!

My emergency kidney stone experience with Greg Barme at Hoag hospital in Newport Beach was the WORST. He refused to contact Stephan Auerbach for me after 3 requests. He assured me that I was «in good hands with him». He failed to find the stone & told me my request for another ct-​scan was not necessary. I went to his office to have the stint removed. On his 3^rd attempt he finally found & removed the stint. I asked for the pain medication I was prescribed in Seattle. He told me that med was not for pain & gave me a RX for Vicodin. I told him that I was allergic to it. He gave it to me anyway in a generic form. On the second day of using this med I was very sick to my stomach (vomiting & then dry heaves). I made a decision to go back to Seattle to see my own urologist. Another ct scan revealed stones still in my left kidney. I had to go through another surgery & had 2 stones removed. This was my 6^th surgery for stones. I know the symptoms & what should follow to resolve my situation. Greg Barme even refused to look at my records that I had from my previous history

My husband went to Dr. Barme for a varicocele. Dr. Barme was on time, professional, warm and very informative in regards to our options. His billing department was straight forward and there was no shady business like we experienced at Orange County Urology Associates with Dr. Spitz.

Dr. Barme is literally a lifesaver! Prior to seeing Dr. Barme, I had been to eight other urologists with no success. I presented the same symptoms to each of the other physicians and all failed to diagnose my serious medical condition. The exception was Dr. Barme. After hearing the same symptoms I presented to the other physicians, Dr Barme quickly diagnose my serious medical condition with extreme accuracy. His diagnosis was quickly confirmed by a biopsy. Critical treatment followed with100% success. I wish I was able to give him six stars! It would be good enough if he was just extremely competent but, as some of the other reviewers have indicated, he has an excellent bedside manner and is very relatable which is important when dealing with such sensitive and possibly embarrassing subject matter. I would certainly insist that any loved one or family member in need of urological services see only Dr. Barme. I feel strongly I would not be here today without his expertise. We only have one life. Don’t take chances. You will be in great hands with Dr. Barme.

Great Doctor
Great Office staff

Dr Barme is an amazing doctor. His bedside manors and his professionalism are next to none. Iv gone to him several times over the last couple years. I highly recommend him if your in the need for a urologist.

This is a «weighted average rating» of 5 stars for Dr. Barme and negative stars for the billing department. I’m new to Medicare and have a Medicare Supplement F policy to cover out of pocket co-​costs. But apparently this was too much for his billing department to figure out. Disappointing!

If you are living in Orange County or Southern California, this urologist is a must see.
It is so rare to meet a physician with such wonderful bedside manners and fine surgical skills.
I had just gone in to get a Vasectomy. Had a consult visit to go over any questions I might have. Dr. Barme fully answered all my questions and made me feel very comfortable. I scheduled my procedure to be done a week after the consult.
Day of procedure. Took about 30 min total. I can tell you that it’s almost completely pain free. He places numbing medication and it feels like slight pressure, light pinch, almost not even worth mentioning. Prior to the procedure he had given me a prescription for some medication to help me stay calm and relaxed, much appreciated.
You are absolutely in great hands. He comes highly recommended by other physicians and nursing staff. When I had talked to other people about having a vasectomy, they all recommended Dr Barmé in Newport Beach.

I’ve been going to Dr. Barme for a few years for all things health related that my regular doctor or urgent care doesn’t normally deal with. He is always friendly and helpful and makes you feel like you are just there for a quick chat and check to see what’s happening, always sprinkled good advice and figuring out how to get to the root of the problem.
I only removed 1 star because it’s often hard to get the receptionist on the phone or have to wait a week or two for appointments. But that’s because their office is so popular and get lots of referrals.

Dr. Barme takes a genuine interest in listening to what his patient’s concerns are. I had been to another urologist prior to seeing him and was very discouraged. Dr. Barme recommended a course of treatment for me that has literally changed my life. I am so grateful to have found him!

. If there is a better urologist he is not on this planet. I had a kidney stone which created complications and I became very ill. Dr Barme was with me during the illness showing his professionalism and caring through the ordeal. I saw first hand how much he cares for his patients. In my mind he is the best in his field.

I’ve seen Dr. Barme for several years for issues relating to kidney stones. He is one of the best doctors I know. He is very friendly, explains things thoroughly, and has a golden touch when it comes to procedures. The only problem with Dr. Barme is that he has terrible taste in football teams — Go Trojans! As a Doctor, he is great and I would highly recommend him to anyone!

Dr. Barme & Carrie are the absolute BEST. I have been going to them for a long time for an ongoing problem. Dr. Barme has the best bedside manner of any doctor I have ever gone to. Due to a change in my insurance, I will be unable to go to him after the end of the year & I am truly upset as I know I won’t find anyone as caring and knowledgeable.
Thanks, Dr. Barme

Yesterday afternoon at 3:30PM, Greg performed a vasectomy on me. I am 54 years old. The entire procedure took less that 30 minutes. THE ENTIRE PROCEDURE, FROM START TO FINISH, INCLUDING THE ADMINISTERING OF THE LOCAL ANESTHETIC WAS ABSOLUTELY PAINLESS!!! I mean it PAINLESS. Additionally, Greg and his entire staff, even Cheryl create an atmosphere that is calming, assuring and quite a bit of just plain fun. Sure takes the edge off.
My point is to say that for all us guys who are, in my case now were, thinking about having the procedure done and are dealing with the normal trepidation that goes with it, Greg is a skilled surgeon with a manner that makes it easy.
Additionally, as I write this review, Saturday morning 10:00 AM, I have no pain at all, no swelling, no bruising and no pain meds necessary.
It was a tremendous experience that could not have gone better.
Thanks Greg.
Joel.
