Dr. Baumgarten is an excellent surgeon with great concern for his patients. Always takes his time when consulting about the information I need to be comfortable with the surgery. Also, answers all my questions and concerns in a way that I understand and with patience. I was also very impressed by all the people he has around him, they are all amazingly nice, concerned and respectful. They also made me feel comfortable. I want to say a big THANK YOU to everyone for a great experience from beginning to end.

I am grateful to Dr. Baumgarten and his team for the care they have provided me for years. Of the various physicians who have treated me, Dr. Baumgarten rates #1 for both specific medical care and general emotional encouragement. I wish I could clone him to assist me in other areas for which I require a physician's expertise.

Dr. B has always been the one doctor that truly listens. I am seen by several physicians and am often overlooked, or my concerns are ignored. I have never felt that way with Dr. B. Two years had passed since I last saw him, and not only did he address his specialty, but he got the ball moving for an ongoing issue that I had been struggling with for almost two years.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 11/13/2023
