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.

    I had my right knee replaced by Dr. Barry 1year and 1/2 ago and now need another arthroplasty on the left knee . I asked to have Dr. Barry perform the surgery since he had done the first knee. I was very pleased with him and everyone at UCSF.

    I was very impressed with Dr. Barry and his concerns with my hip replacement surgery. He and his team provided me with a lot of information and insight about the surgery process. I was impressed with the quality of the information packet that I received and the great detail in it. Dr. Barry sent me a link to the GetWell Loop website and I found it to be very helpful and informative.
    Jan 07, 2025
    Dr. Barry is phenomenal in every way I'm so grateful he's my doctor
    Jan 07, 2025
    Dr Berry was less than friendly, rude to be exact and was the same way when I met him last year. So I can't say it's a change in his personality, but he could use some bedside manner development.

    Rating of Very Good is way below what I would give this care provider, Dr. Barry. OUTSTANDING is the word that I would use.
    Nov 01, 2023
    Just a great experience and level of care
    Oct 31, 2023
    Very personable and professional. Dr Barry listened to me answered my questions and asked me questions. The shared knowledge and communication is valuable intel for us both.
    Oct 31, 2023
    The Dr was very upbeat and had a positive attitude. Loved him
    Oct 31, 2023
    I felt like the care provider came to a very quick conclusion without considering alternatives. There also was very little discussion about options going forward. For example, if I have arthritis in my hip, will it get worse; are there options for treatments - I asked about PT when he gave a negative review for my situation. I "felt" like he was wanting a surgical candidate (he never mentioned surgery) and isn't have much interest in my hip issue.
    Oct 29, 2023
    Good
