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.

A very positive experience! Although it was our first visit, Dr. Baum was kind and informative towards explaining everything about the procedure. But not just that, the staff was also friendly!

Dr. Baum fixed my cataract and inserted a corrective lens for astigmatism. He was very friendly and explained the operation to my satisfaction. I would highly recommend him to others.

My first impressions about my first visit wasn't good at all. He wasn't very friendly. I felt his staff treated me with better respect. I felt uneasy with his approach. There wasn't any explanation on what he was looking at or what he planned to do next. He seemed to get a little bit angry or bitter when I addressed him on my concerns. He didnt have an answer for me and at times, both his arms would flare up in some kind of frustration as if to say he's never wrong and changed his tone of voice
