Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great doctor but unexpectedly left practice
I was very pleased with the surgery Dr. Barko performed on my ankle. However, after developing staph and having to wear an una boot for a week the somewhat simple surgery stretched out over a 2 mo. healing period. To cap that all off, Dr. Barko "unexpectedly" left Lexington Podiatry with no explanation and left myself, along with her other patients, bewildered. The practice couldn't even explain her reason for leaving. I would have liked to have finished my treatment with the doctor who performed my initial surgery. Oh well. I'm healed now and doing well.

Dr. Barko and her staff are amazing! Not only did she resolve the immediate issue for which I scheduled the appointment, she recognized that I had chronic pain due to unrelated problems and took the extra time to address those during the same visit. I couldn’t be happier with my experience at Lexington Podiatry. Everyone was very friendly, compassionate and helpful from the second I walked in the door. My only regret is that I didn’t go sooner!

So glad I choose Dr Amy Barko to correct a bunionectomy gone badly wrong performed by a surgeon NOT affiliated with Lexington Podiatry. Dr. Barko has been a Godsend after months of pain. She is a very knowledgeable, skilled surgeon, and so easy to talk to. She will assess, study and research your situation and come up with the least invasive course of action to treat your situation. Highly recommend. Love, love, love her!

This office has changed my life as well as my husband. We are so happy that we made the decision to come to this office. I have been treated by both Dr Carter and Dr Barko and I will never go anywhere else for my feet. We spent years trying to find a close to the door place to part because my husband suffered with foot pain. Now we do not have to do that. I love this office and all the staff. You will not find a better office anywhere.

Dec. 12 visit was to discuss having my a bunion removed from my right foot. Dr. Barko explained the procedure thoroughly. She pushed shoe inserts which they sell. I rarely wear athlete shoes which is the only suitable shoe for inserts. I got the custom dress shoe set that cost $ 180.00. I immediately went to a shoe store to try different shoes that would work. The inserts is a waste of money but I could return them as a credit for surgery. The office has not call back with a appointment time
