Dr. Michael Baskies, MD

I shattered my right (dominant) wrist in January 2024. Dr. Baskies immediately scheduled me for surgery. My wrist was shattered so badly that I could not even lift a coffee cup for twelve weeks. I worked hard in physical therapy and my wrist is great! I highly recommend Dr. Baskies. He answers any questions you have, him and his staff was always available to address any questions or concerns I had, he worked directly with my physical therapist to make sure I had a great outcome.

I met with Dr. Baskies after having seen other physicians for a hand problem. He is knowledgeable to a great extent. But his thought process regarding my issue and how to treat it was misguided. I found him to have an attitude and while he did answer questions he was dismissive and told me that I would have to live with the problem. Essentially he offered no hope. Thankfully this is not a life and death problem and there are other well qualified practitioners who are happy to help without the poor 'bedside' manner.

I was referred to Dr Baskies through my Primary care physician after a fall on my left wrist. Dr. Baskies never touched my arm or reviewed my x-ray with me. He was 15 minutes late to the appointment and spent 10 minutes lecturing me about my poor decision to come to his office since he had not performed my original wrist surgery nine years ago. He berated my surgeon and told me it was 'laughable' that I had not gone back to see her. I attempted to tell him several times that I heard his message. He did not listen and continued to lecture me. What is truly laughable is the false post-visit report he had in my Atlantic Healthcare file within 30 minutes of the quick visit. He claims to have examined my arm, which he did not do, and have a discussion with me about next steps. I left the office feeling berated and frustrated. A phone call to tell me that I should make an appointment with my initial surgeon, and not consult him, would have been appreciated.

He is a complete unprofessionalHe came to my room for 5 seconds and told me I have a cyst and live my lifeWhat a total waste of timeNo respect no bed side manners no options of treatmentIt is shameful to treat people like thatWill never go back

I arrived with a cyst on my finger about to burst, he didn't even look at my hand, he just said leave it alone that there is nothing to do and he left and left me alone in the office without me knowing what to do. He is a strange person without compassion.

Took my young daughter who had fallen & broken/dislocated her thumb. we were worried about ligament or other damage. Dr. Baskies was kind, caring, gentle, professional, He listened to our concerns & was very reassuring & Patient to both our daughter & us. I can't understand the negative reviews. our experience was the polar opposite! Would not hesitate to recommend Dr Baskies to anyone!!

What stinks about reviews are that people don't consider the fact that these are human beings and they are entitled to bad days. Not only that, but, some of you I am sure were obnoxious. Dr. Baskies was awesome. Highly recommend.

Very to the point , knows what he is doing. His staff is very kind. He also went out if his way to call me on a Sunday during a snowstorm to explain how and when he can get me in for my thumb shots. Very good and strong cause its painful

Excellent. Dr. Baskies gets right to the problem, made the proper diagnosis and treated it appropriately. I have been treated twice before by other hand surgeons for same problem. This doctor knows what he is doing. I did not expect him to hold my hand, as some of the other commentaries suggest, nor did I expect him to make promises that require clairvoyance. Being a pediatrician myself, he was all I expected him to be asa hand surgeon.

Dr. Baskies was very professional, patient with our questions and helped explain the process and what to expect to my 13 year old son in a way he could understand. I highly recommend him

He took excellent care of my 6-year-old daughter's hand injury -- she had complete recovery of function and healed beautifully. Dr. Baskies was kind and professional and put us all at ease.

He was not professional when He attended my son. I asked him if the fracture would not affect my son's hand later. He told me that, He was not clairvoyant that He did not have a magic ball to predict the future. ( a professinal Doctor would not answer like that. And the Secretary is a very rude lady too.

Just not sure he is capable of all that I was led to believe he could treat and handle. What a disappointment

I admit I had to wait over 45 minutes but they sent me to get X-rays first prior to seeing the Dr. - I found the Dr to be friendly and allowed me to ask questions prior to his finishing the exam about my elbow. I did not feel rushed and I found his staff also friendly and helpful. Not sure why him or his office had gotten some bad reviews - everything was great with me.

Dr Baskies performed a repair of a wrist fracture after a traumatic bike accident. My husband and I have found him to be nothing but pleasant, patient and an exceptional surgeon. He was recommended to me by by internist and I feel fortunate to have him provide my care.

RUDE doctor and unprofessional he shouldn't be a doctor.

I was diagnosed with carpel tunnel in my left hand. I saw Dr. Baskies for a consultation. I had surgery last Monday-2/12/18. . Dr. Baskies was extremely knowledgeable & explained every detail of the procedure. His warm, friendly, sincere & caring manner helped to make the surgery easy with little anxiety. My fingers are now comfortably moving, numbness is gone . I know it will take months/year for full recuperation but feel confident I am in good hands. Dr. Baskies listens- I high recommend him.

Dr. Baskies just did surgery on my hand yesterday. He is the kindest person/Doctor I've ever met and a brilliant surgeon. There were unforeseen issues that arose due to my sleep apnea and he handled everything in an amazing, professional and frankly, Heroic way. Succinctly, he is just a great guy & fantastic Surgeon. I was so nervous and fearful about this surgery & he put me at ease & turned this into a relaxed, positive surgery. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Had been suffering with hand & forearm pain for months & waited over 2hrs to see dr.baskies & when he came in he was rude & didn't help me one bit! Didn't even look at my hand & just wanted to get out of there so he actually said I CANT HELP YOU... and left the room! Would NEVER recommend anyone to him

When Dr. Baskies looks at you, he sees dollar signs. He will have you scheduled for unnecessary procedures to keep milking the cow. Stay away.
