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.

Terrible Endocrinologist!
A complete waste of time. Reads your Clarity report and spends less than 5 minutes with you during appointments!!!

Disrespectful, shaming and unprofessional
Disrespectful, shaming and unprofessional to my concerns during office visit when I STARTED to tell her my Cardiologist and Primary started me on medication for weight loss and metabolic issues verses gastric bypass. She IMMEDIATELY interrupted me and scolded me saying, "This is why YOU are part of the shortage of this medication that diabetics need! She continued to yell, "I DO NOT CONDONE you being on this medication and WILL NOT MONITOR you for any side effects that may occur! WHO EVER ordered it can MONITOR YOU!". Then I asked her, "What side effects, the ones about thyroid cancer issues? That's why I'm asking YOU since you DO monitor my thyroid issues NOW!". She then remained silent until I asked several more times and she kept repeating the above statement. Office visit ended with her storming out saying, " I will see you in one year!".

I think Dr. Baron is fabulous!! She spends time with me and answers all of my questions. I had been taking a thyroid medicine that can have harmful side effects - Dr. Baron had gotten me off of it!

Terrible doctor. She's "Resigning" from USC, perhaps she had too many complaints about her incessant texting during while patients explain symptoms and pain.

Long wait for my initial exam. She didn't do an exam, just typed up my history. then sent me on my way. But I was billed for a full exam. Waste of time and money.
