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.

Excellent post-mastectomy breast reconstruction
Dr. Baum was very professional and did an excellent job on my breast reconstruction surgeries after my mastectomy. He was open to answering my questions and took time to explain procedures in detail prior to my surgeries. I also had good interactions with his PA for follow-up appointments when Dr. Baum was out of town. I definitely would recommend Dr. Baum to anyone needing breast reconstruction; my only hesitation is about interacting with his office staff. One experience was particularly frustrating and unprofessional on their part. At my first post-op appointment, they were incredibly disorganized and awkward, giving the impression that they did not have much experience interacting with post-cancer patients. For example, the staff had not pulled the correct medical file for me, they repeatedly called me the wrong name (even after my sister and I both corrected them), and did not communicate well regarding my care. Despite this one experience, I still recommend Dr. Baum as a surgeon.

This office is amazing and Dr. Baum is incredible! I had a breast reduction and I am not even a week out and I am so happy and impressed by this office and the doctor. He was very thorough about what he was going to do for me and honest about what to expect for results. He was so nice and caring and personally called me the day after surgery to make sure I was doing okay. The office is literally the nicest/cleanest office I have ever seen. I just can't say enough about this place. I would 100000% recommend this office/Dr. Baum to anyone!

Dr Baum did my surgery about 6 months ago. He was available in the middle of the night (on call) to help me through a problem and came into his office the next day (Saturday) to check me out. I was impressed by his dedication and care! All staff were friendly and knowledgeable and always made me feel comfortable.

I had a great experience with Dr.Baum. The office staff is very friendly on the phone and in person. He made me feel very comfortable talking about the procedure during the consult, and made sure I was comfortable during the procedure itself. Dr.Baum made sure I had all of the information/instructions before and after the procedure. He also made sure my follow up appointments were up to date. I would recommend and would go to him for other procedures.

Outstanding results! Dr. Baum is a highly skilled, extremely qualified surgeon, who cares deeply about his patient. After researching online for cosmetics surgeons in the Central New York area, I came across Dr. Baum with high recommendations. From our first consultation to the post examine, I felt relaxed and comfortable as he takes time to listen and provides honest answers to your questions and concerns. My results look absolutely natural. Most people don’t even know that I had a procedure, but I’m able to see a significant improvement. I would highly recommend Dr. Baum to anybody who is thinking about cosmetic surgery.

I am 6 weeks postop from breast augmentation with Dr. Baum - there are not words to explain how amazing he truly is; from start to finish this experience was over the top. As a young women, only 31 years old, a breast reduction is not something that came lightly but Dr. Baum was so knowledgeable, gentle, and caring. He explained in full detail the whole procedure and even took into consideration all of my concerns. Surgery day was amazing!! He even then still carried his gracious bed side mannerism into the room that day. He explained in full detail and every step to not only me again, but my husband who was with me. I would recommend him over and over again!! Thank you Dr. Baum for giving me my confidence back!!!

Since I was so pleased with the results of my breast reduction surgery with Dr. Baum 2 years ago, I scheduled my tummy tuck without hesitation. Again, Dr. Baum exceeded my expectations in every way. I am currently 1 week post op and couldn't be doing better or be more pleased with the outcome. From consultation to surgery to post op care, Dr. Baum is the quintessential professional, expresses true concern and compassion for his patients, and blends the science of medicine so exquisitely with the art. As a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with 20 years of experience, Dr. Baum transforms lives every day. Prior to surgery, I had read about how tummy tucks were more painful than breast reductions. I've been pleasantly surprised how this has not been the case. Since the day after the surgery, I have only taken ibuprofen as needed and have had no pain and minimal discomfort. Absolutely LOVE the results and it's been only one week since the surgery! Don't hesitate - have Dr. Baum perform your

I am an obese woman. Obese women want to be beautiful too. So I went to him to see if he could do a tummy tuck on an obese woman. I believed that it was possible as I have seen pictures of it on plastic surgery websites. He walked into the examination room with a clipboard and the first words out of his mouth were "You are 100 lbs overweight!". He was able to see how much I weighed as it was in the notes he had. I had waited weeks for the appointment and heard good things about him..I was so hopeful. But I was crushed when he walked in and by the way, after he said that (he didn't even bother to say, "Hello, nice to meet you, I am Dr. Baum", he literallly walked in saying "You are 100 lbs over weight)..but the second most hurtful part was that he giggled. I was so hurt there are no words for this. It took me tremendous courage to make the appointment. Obese women can have some kind of surgery too. Just google tummy tuck for the obese. I would never have surgery by him.

Dr. Gregory Baum was the perfect choice for me for my breast reduction surgery. I could have had surgery where I currently live in Coeur D Alene, Idaho/Spokane, Washington but traveled to Syracuse because of the confidence I have in Dr. Baum's surgical skills and expertise. I am almost 6 months post-op and feel amazing. My back pain is gone and I am already planning my tummy tuck procedure. I highly recommend Dr. Baum and his team.

I found Dr. Baum by looking at reviews online. After reading his very positive reviews, I decided to make an appointment. I was interested in botox and/or fillers for my face. I had a facelift in another city three years ago. Dr. Baum was very pleasant, unassuming, knowledgeable and humorous enough to make me feel comfortable. I would absolutely recommend him to everyone who needs help with any kind of surgical or cosmetic need.
