I called on Monday to get an appointment to see Dr. Bartl. After I explained the problems I was having, the Scheduler got me in to see the doctor the next morning. Everyone who I had contact with at the office was extremely helpful, friendly and polite. Michael, Dr. Bartl's Nurse, was as friendly and efficient as anyone could be. As usual, Dr. Bartl was friendly, showed genuine concern for what I was seeing her for. She ordered tests and medication to help with the pain I was experiencing. She said after the tests are done, and she looks them over, we will meet again to see what the next procedure will be.
I was referred to Dr. Bartl by my primary care doctor Michelle Puzio-Bell D.O. I was having back pain for the last two years. A MRI showed lower spine/nerve damage. Dr. Bartl went over the MRI with my wife and me in detail. She showed exactly what had to be done with surgery. She then went over post-op items in detail. She also said we could try injections as an alternative but that would be temporary relief and said that surgery ultimately have to be done. She asked if we had any questions. We said no. She then told us,
Surgery went well, though it was extensive L-2 through L-5. Beta block was great for the first day. After that the best pain killer was ice-better than drugs. Recovery has gone quickly and will be full.
Dr. Bartyl is a very nice physician. She gave me insight into what is going wrong with my neurological function. The office staff were also courteous. Thanks.
I came in with hip pain (still have) because my ortho surgeon (Dr. Merkow) said he couldn't help.He told me to see Dr. Bartl which I did and she ordered all kinds of tests. which really have lead anywhere. But at least she did something. She didn't tell me she couldn't help me. I'm scheduled ny her to have another test for her, which will be next week. I am very pleased with her as my Dr.
Dr. Bartl performs cervical spin fusion on 4 vertebra 12 weeks ago. The results were just as I had hoped for. Dr. Bartl had described the range of possible outcomes before the surgery and these were meet and exceeded. I am 100 percent satisfied.
