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.

Arrogant dr who will rush through an appointment and literally turn his back to walk out the door before you have a chance to ask questions. He made me feel like I was wasting his time. If you value your health and want a doctor with a pleasant bedside manner who truly cares about your concerns find someone else.

Sounds like he’s in a hurry while talking to you. His tone made me feel deeply uncomfortable on top of how sick to my stomach I was already feeling. He’s got too many patients. Thankfully I’ve found someone less stressed, but if you need a procedure I would still recommend him. Hope he finds peace.

Dr. Baum is a skilled physician who is also an exceptional person. His ability to relate to his patients is genuine. It’s often difficult to trust anyone, so being able to trust Dr. Baum is extremely critical to me on a personal level. He is by far one of the most ethical individuals I have ever had the privilege to know. He is particularly credible in many aspects of medical science, and he further strives to expand his wealth of knowledge. I would highly recommend Dr. Baum on his behalf.

Dr Baum is the most caring, compassionate doctor I have ever had. He is a fabulous diagnostician and was able to figure out my problem when many other physicians were unable to. Dr. Baum always takes time with me and shows a genuine interest in not only my medical condition but all aspects of my life. He is always up to date on current treatments and a wealth of knowledge. Dr. Baum is a calming force and always puts me at ease! Dr Baum is a gem!
