Jeff Barry

MD

Orthopedic surgeon

Dr. Jeff Barry is an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in hip and knee reconstruction for arthritis. He cares for patients with all types of degenerative hip and knee conditions, as well as those with complications from prior joint replacement surgery.

Barry takes a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and managing hip and knee pain, incorporating the latest advances in pain control before, during and after surgery. He also has expertise in the most advanced surgical techniques, including direct anterior total hip replacement (a less invasive approach), partial knee replacement and revision surgery (surgery to correct a problem with a previously replaced joint).

Barry's research interests include perioperative management and risk assessment, revision surgery and managing complications after total joint replacement. He is also interested in educating the next generation of medical students and residents, and in designing and using novel surgical instruments and methods of delivering care. His current projects include studying how best to manage infections in total joint replacements, as well as how to harness technology to improve outcomes and enhance the experience of patients receiving care.

A San Jose native, Barry went to Duke University to earn a bachelor's degree in biomedical engineering, graduating magna cum laude. He earned his medical degree at UCSF, where he also completed a residency in orthopedic surgery. During this time at UCSF, he received numerous awards for both his work with patients and his research, including an orthopedic surgery chief resident of the year award and a dean's research fellowship. He was also selected for the American Orthopaedic Association's Emerging Leaders Program. He subsequently completed a fellowship in adult joint reconstruction at OrthoCarolina.

In addition to caring for UCSF patients needing joint replacement, he sees patients through the San Francisco Veterans Affairs Health Care System.

Barry is a member of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons.

    Mar 28, 2023
    Excellent! Really understood the treatment options even though I wanted a different approach. He was patient and I understand why his approach is the best option for me. Great!
    Mar 27, 2023
    My experience with the nurses and staff was very nice and felt warm and caring. My experience with Dr. Barry was horrific. He came into the room with a preconceived idea of what I should do and barely asked me any questions. I am not nave I know weight loss needs to happen but he jumped to amputation or weight loss and was NOT the least bit Interested in the excruciating pain I am in every single day. He didn't care nor want to understand my current situation how I got to this place what I have tried what has worked vs not worked. He wasn't Interested In trying ANYTHING from his end - just passed me off to the gastric bypass group. Its clear Dr. Barry has zero empathy for people In general and no desire to understand his patients or potential patients.
    Mar 23, 2023
    Love that Dr. Barry explains things in a calm way answering each question very patiently.
    Mar 23, 2023
    I feel I am now in good hands and relieved compared to the previous provider Dr Barry is top notch!

    Already have recommend to others
    Oct 31, 2022
    Dr. Barry listened and responded to my concerns. He approached the issues I presented very diligently. He assessed the scrape on my right leg dressed/bandaged the slight wound carefully and requested that I clean and change twice a day and report anymore concerns immediately. The wound is now (a few days later healed I believe his care helped accelerate the process. He also discussed the right knee problem with continuing as have been doing and report any concerns as well. I am very happy that Dr. Had the patience to address and take care of my right leg issues immediately as I feel this is helping the leg heal. Thank you.
    Oct 27, 2022
    I don't know why you don't have "excellent". I also thought the Fellow who worked with Dr. Barry was excellent.
    Oct 25, 2022
    Dr Barry was condescending did not direct comments or attention to patient (looked at spouse instead) and made comments about condition that were inconsistent with multiple other physicians as well as being inconsiderate of patient experience and situation. Awful experience.
    Oct 18, 2022
    Dr. Barry and his resident were attentive patient and allowed me to express my concerns and issues regarding CRPS. They allowed me to ask questions directed me to complete those questions with anesthesia and Dr. Barry even said I could send him a message if there was some thing that I didn't understand I was worried about with anesthesia because with CRPS patients you have to have a really good degree of pain management and he has been patient and I'm very grateful to have found this doctor as resident was wonderful also
    Oct 11, 2022
    Dr. Barry is a excellent physician. His greatest qualities are many-of which I find most important are his care of the patient has compassionate understanding of where the patient is coming from and the ease it is to talk to him.
    Sep 29, 2022
    Excellent compassionate and thorough care.
    Sep 26, 2022
    Hard to evaluate because he was filling in. He refused to discuss the treatment path if the cultures came back positive for infection which is one of my main concerns. I was to given any guidance on treatment options for hematoma other than that it would take a while and to be conservative. It was a long way to come in a lot of pain to get so little information. I did get to see the CT Scan images though and that was slightly gratifying because I feel like I am completely in the dark ... Unable to walk yet not knowing if/when that will change. I feel like no one really cares. It's a very different experience than I had 4 years ago.
    Sep 24, 2022
    Dr. Barry is an exceptional provider. I respect his expertise and am confident in his competency.

    Aug 29, 2022
    I would like to have had time to ask the Doctor a couple of questions. It was obvious that he was in a hurry.
    Aug 27, 2022

    Jul 12, 2022
    Absolutely I would recommend anybody to go there I don't think that I have ever had such good care as I did yesterday when I was there from the front desk to x-rays that x-ray technician was just amazing and then going into the room and meeting the first doctor and then the second doctor and then the other two ladies all was just wonderful have never had an experience so good thank you so very much
    Jul 09, 2022
    Dr Barry was exceptional in all Interactions: history taking reviewing xrays and explaining findings his exam and discussing treatment recommendations. Answered all my questions came up with acceptable plan given my hesitancy to take traditional anti inflammatory medication and I never felt rushed. He was excellent and I felt I received personalized terrific care.
    Jul 09, 2022
    Excellent
    May 30, 2022
    I can't recommend this provider yet. He's going to perform a knee replacement for me I'll be able to answer that question better after surgery.
    Apr 19, 2022
    A very knowledgeable doctor. His personality was bland. Exactly what I expected from someone that has an undergraduate degree in engineering. The resident was VERY good.
    Apr 04, 2022
    I said that I would do my lab work at my doctors office but I was not give the order.
    Apr 02, 2022
    Dr. Barry is a good listener to my Med condition.
    Apr 02, 2022
    Poor listening and diagnostic skills
    Mar 26, 2022
    This provider told me that I was triaged to the wrong "team" for level of care at this Clinic when I asked him about Tx options for my complex & extruding Meniscus Tear per MRI. He said that my complex Meniscus Tear "can heal on its own." He told me that he does "Jt. Replacement surgery" which I don't need.
    Feb 19, 2022
    GREAT!
    Jan 22, 2022
    He did not want to address my issues as a whole - and they need to be
    Dec 18, 2021
    Extremely knowledgeable and showed great empathy.
    Dec 11, 2021
    I've dealt with this issue for a long time and he was the first dr I felt really cared
    Oct 25, 2021

    Oct 23, 2021

    Sep 26, 2021
