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. Baldwin is my mother's oncologist and he is horrible. He has not been honest with us and has not given us useful information throughout this process. He sent his PA in to give us the results also and she couldn't answer any questions we asked with any degree of certainty or confidence. If you get referred to him it's a death sentence...I'm serious. He just doesn't care.

I love Dr. Baldwin. If you have sickle cell, this is the doctor you need to see. He doesn't only go by blood work. He goes by what you tell him also. Also, he will refer you to the sickle cell clinic twice a week or wherever you need to go. He is an amazing doctor. He is everything and beyond. He really listens and care. I will never change doctors. I love his doctor office.
