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.

I chose NO star at all...not worthy of even a 1/2
Very arrogant and unattentive.

Seriously disappointed – Oct 08, 2022
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Bauman?
TOTALLY unhappy with the outcome. If I had known that it would make my hand feel worse than what I started with I would of not had surgery. My hand stayed swollen throughout the rehabilitation time. My therapist tried everything to get it to go down. My last visit with Dr. Baumen he angrily told me I was not doing enough. If not for the great therapist who saw me 2 times every week I would have thought I was the problem but he assured me he had never seen a similar outcome.

I highly recommend Dr. Bauman! He is extremely kind and knowledgeable. He quickly identified my condition and gave me the care I needed. I really appreciate everything he has done for me. The rest of the staff was wonderful as well.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Bauman?
I've never had any problems with Dr Bauman and there's another surgeon with Unity and Dr Bauman told me after my surgery that I might have to have another surgery for my arthritis and the other surgeon, after 2 surgeries, never told me that I'd have to have another, ect. I saw the other one recently and it's been 7 years since my surgery and he told me that I'd have to have another surgery AND I would probably need to have them every 7 years, so my point is that Dr Bauman is HONEST,ThankYou!
