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.

Still my doctor after 20+ yrs
Dr Bauer has been my doctor for 2 decades for a reason. I even moved 45 minutes away and still drive to his office because of the staff and treatment I get from his office. Staff is very friendly and caring. James is right in line with my lowest medication possible to treat philosophy that I prefer over the run of the mill 'here take this and see if it works' philosophy taken by many other doctors. Traffic kind of stinks on the road connected to the office but Oakland County traffic is bad everywhere.

Dr Bauer is a great guy and a very personable doctor with nice staff, does a good job explaining. However we switched doctors for a more convenient location closer to work. We highly recommend Dr. Bauer.

I went to Dr. Bauer for three visits before they told me they don't accept my insurance and I had to pay with a credit card. I asked them for a referral to a specialist which they told me would take up to seven days. I called back a few days later to find out that they could not write a referral for me because I was not in their network. Now I have to start all over again with a new doctors. Because of their lack of knowledge about their own business I will go untreated even longer.
