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.

Dr. Baay was my surgeon for double bypass surgery in 2020. He spent plenty of time with me before the surgery and rescheduled my operation for a time when his team was at their best. The surgery went faster than expected, and my healing was quicker than I thought. I can’t thank him enough.

Peter Baay is a solid surgeon probably one of the top five on the west coast. Rest assured if you get a procedure from Peter your in good hands. Part of what makes him great is the terrific support staff that he surrounds himself with especially Martha Serrato. I had open heart with Peter and I can say I'm glad that I did. Cant say enough good things about him, just know that having open heart is not easy, and no Peter doesn't have a magic way to get inside you, you will be uncomfortable for about a month. Lets just say I would recommend Peter to anyone who wants top notch surgical skills and with top notch support crew. Five stars all the way!

Dr, Baay is recommended by other doctors, but he did not take time to explain my surgery in any way or give the opportunity for me to ask questions. Pre-operative medications were not explained by his nurse at all--I had to do my own research.
