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.

**Excellent 5-star rating. Great service. Great advice. For example, Dr. Baumgarten recommended an inexpensive alternative (vinegar) rather than to peddle expensive fungus medications. **The receptionist was also extremely pleasent and helpful. **With my MVP coverage, there was only a $45 copay.

Dr Baumgarten was very compassionate and understanding of my needs. He explained my diagnosis and options for treatment very carefully. He never tried to push me into a procedure that I did not want. I am very afraid of needles!

I was calling to make an appt. and the staff was not very nice at all, kept me on hold for long time, than hung up on me. Called back and got answering machine and said did not have to be mean and then called again and still not nice at all and I decided to cancel apt, and asked for records, and she put Dr Baumgarten on and he was also mean and made the point at the end since I do not want to see him my new doctor can get my records and hung up on me. I have the rights to get records Stay clear
