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 Bae is thorough and attentive and has great bedside manner. Highly recommend him!

Very dismissive and wasted co pay. Just poking me in a few places made diagnosis on one visit and blood test that showed that I needed to go to emergency and be admitted. At least he should have repeated test before all the diagnosis he made. I don’t think he wanted me to come back from very first and only visit. All he had to do was say that because I did not want to come back. He went into long explanation of diagnosis and my past medical history that said some things that being nice were inaccurate and removed visit summary. My son was witness to entire visit and I know to look up latest information, every test, and compare previous results with everything he said. I should have photo shot visit summary like I did the explanation that he finally gave with diagnosis. Since he said I didn’t have disease that I went to him for and diagnosed me with another I should’ve been given chance to ask questions.

Horrible. Dr. Bae was not in the least bit interested in trying to help me. He told me I don't have an autoimmune disease but I do. I have hypothyroidism and hasimotos. I was dismissed as a middle aged, menopausal, overweight woman with chronic pain. Complete waste of time. Do yourself a favor and find a more qualified physician.
