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.

Initial doctor appointment
This was my initial office visit to evaluate the next step in my medical treatment process. Dr. Balfouf was very positive about the next step and getting my problem resolved. I left the office feeling good about proceeding with the treatment and getting my health back.

I have been needing a hip replacement due to severe osteoarthritis. I recently had a consultation with Dr. Baldauf. He was compassionate, knowledgeable and confident. I am looking forward to my quality of life being restored by Dr. Baldauf and his Team.

Dr. Baldauf has performed 4 joint replacements and a couple of scopings over the last 10 years, and NOBODY compares to the care and skills he has. I have implicit trust in him.

Confidence and Comfort
New to the area and was in need of an Orthopedic doctor. Had a great one in Ohio and thought I could never replace him. After much research I selected Dr. Baldauf, and after 1st visit knew I actually found my new doctor! Personable yet professional demeanor. Takes a slow, cautious and conservative approach and explains everything thoroughly. He quickly made me feel at ease and earned my confidence in his abilities. The facility was also large, clean, comfortable and all the staff who interacted with me were friendly. Really could not have been happier with the experience.

Knowledgeable
Dr Baldauf walked in and took a couple minutes to read my intake thoroughly. This is not common and I like that. He knew about hEDS and confirmed with my good shoulder that I have multidirectional joint instability. He also knew that surgery does not help this life long condition. I knew that from my own research, so that immediately built my confidence in him. He ordered a MRI with contrast to take the right steps toward treatment of my possible rotator cuff or labrum tear and adhesive Capsulitis He was gentle and kind in his approach. I am very, very particular about doctors (and run from most of them here in Nevada), but I look forward to my next appointment. Very happy about this experience!!!

Dr. Baldauf listens to his patients & truly cares!
Though it was obvious that he was very busy with patients, I appreciated the fact that he did not rush our meeting. Dr. Baldauf took the time to listen to what I had to say. He clearly laid out my options, and made it clear that they were my options. I appreciated his candor. He is everything that I believe a good doctor should be, in my humble opinion. I also want to thank him for his service.

Skilled and genuinely nice guy!
I called to make an appointment thinking it would be a month. I got in in less than a week! There was almost no wait at the clinic. Dr. Baldauf is professional, smart and basically a genuinely nice guy. I felt secure and safe in his hands. He took his time and didn't seem rushed. Like I was his only patient. A great experience! Thank you, Doctor, for fixing me up.

Dr.Baldauf - an excellent Doctor.
Dr. Baldauf and the entire staff were a pleasant experience and all are truly professional in all interactions. As a retired Army veteran, I appreciated Dr. Baldauf's understanding of the injuries that result from a long career of military service. He is truly a 'go-to' guy in my book. Thanks for seeing me.
