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.

Service, care, and people are one of the best.

I have been going to Dr. Baum for twenty years. I consider Dr. Baum as an excellent Doctor. He is intelligent, diligent and when trouble occurs he catches it quickly and recommends the proper treatment immediately. Once you get to know him, Dr. Baum can be quite funny. Best of all he cares about you

Love the doctor, but dealing with the office staff is like having a conversation with a machine. They could careless about pleasing or accommodating the patients. Bad enough that I might have to switch doctors.
