Barrow Neurosurgical Associates

The staff at Barrow and particularly Dr. Luis Manuel Tumialan was abysmal. After not getting a call back to me for a couple of days we set an appointment. I describe my healthcare as Tricare which she says she accepts. The appointment was a couple of months out but was willing to wait in spite of my back pain. At 3:30 the day before my schedules appointment Sherry calls to tell me that they do not accept my insurance. To make this worse, to enroll in Barrow you have to fill out their on line questionnaire that takes about 45 minutes of pain staking minutia… which includes WHO YOUR INSURANCE CARRIER IS! what a nightmare!
So now I am back to square one. with the same back pain. Just avoid these guys.

As an ICU RN I was disappointed to visit what I had considered to be one of the best hospitals left in the Phoenix area. While the hospital as a whole and maybe even Barrow Neurological Associates may still be in that ranking, one of their physicians Dr. Eric Ortega a neurologist at the Gregory Fulton ALS and Neuromuscular Center is apparently not a neurologist. Previously been seen for neuropathy by this physician and I made an appointment for my restless leg syndrome. After taking 2 hours off of work with driving time of 45 minutes I was told he does not treat RLS but could refer me to the Muhammed Ali Center a floor below. Without any treatment offered I was told to keep them in mind if I had any needs in the future. When what I need is a neurologist. The previous appointment I had a nurse friend go with me and she had asked the question «what would you do if this was your wife?» and he responded «divorce her», I should have stopped at that appointment.
