Review for Dr. Baumgarten
The nurses were very kind and helpful. The PA I visited with was very kind. Also did a good job of explaining the dos and don’t with my shoulder replacement. Also suggested for another checkup in a year. Only because there was so much damage before the surgery. And make sure things are still going...
