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.

Judgmental/ unkind/ lies
I was a patient of hers for about 15 yrs. It wasn’t until years later ( after asking for my full records) that I discovered she falsified my health documents, ordered absurd tests and made up pretty harsh lies about me that have affected my future relationships with ANY dr i encounter. Therefore I am never taken seriously, the same treatment I endured from her. I have had only 2 drs believe in me and treat me with dignity and respect. 2! Only 2 who have ever “listened to my side” and “disregarded hers” it’s as if she threw her ethics out the window, along with anyone that works besides her. Plain and simple she was a bully (a very good one might I add- almost narcissistic like) and I am still dealing with what she did to me almost 15 yrs later. It has been emotionally draining and psychologically damaging. If she was the only dr left in the world and I were dying… let me die ( rated 0/5 ?? but I had to pick 1 to submit)

I have been a patient for many years. My father also saw Dr. Bauer before I became her patient and with both of us, she always was great to work with, caring and professional all the years that I knew her. I will miss her as she is retiring soon.

Amazing Doctor. Been seeing her for over 30 years. Takes the time to listen to me. Offers explanations I can understand. I have never had a bad experience with her in over 30 years. i would not go anywhere else.

I had an appointment with Dr Jocye Bauer. Let me tell you one of the worse doctor on this earth. I went to see her for my nerve damage issues. The nurse did my x-rays and I went back to change my clothes I was not even done changing my clothes and dr Bauer just came in with out knocking on the door she did not even apologize for her act. She was watching me while I was changing my clothes. I know doctors treat patients but that doesn't mean that they have the right to see patients body without there consent she so rude to me. I cannot believe thedacare hired such a rude doctor. I am never coming back to see her. I have been going to the doctors from the past 10 years, but I have never seen such a rude doctor.

She’s the most down to earth doctor I’ve ever met. She went above and beyond and took the time to get to know me in order to help me with my medical issues. Best doctor ever.

She did not make me feel comfortable with the situation I was there for. It was extremely awkward and blameworthy for me.
