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 dr. He severed my perineal nerve in a surgery and acted like I was a head case and that I wasn’t really in pain. He left me permanently disabled with a condition called CRPS … run far far away from this dr

I would never recommend Dr. Bagwe. Had ankle fusion on right foot in 2015, tried to suck all the insurance money that he could get. Was not able to walk for 2 years in a scooter. Then he said he wasn't able to due anything for me and referred me to Dr. McCormick to remove all the hardware that Bagwe put in my right ankle. The reason that I was not able to walk was due to a staff infection which Bagwe missed. He was very disrespectful to his nurses, Bagwe called the nurses "My girls" was 1 hour late every appointment that I gone to. He work at Signature Orthopedics on Tesson Ferry Rd. Thank you Dr. McCormick for giving some quality of life back. I would rate Bagwe OOOOO!!!!!

This is hands down the right Dr. for you. He is amazing at what he does and actually cares about his patients. If i could give him more than five stars I absolutely would. He does surgical procedures that not many do. His staff is pretty amazing as well.

He seems to be a good doc but it's incredibly aggravating that for every follow up appt he's been 2-3 hours late or has just canceled it. And, according to his staff, it's b/c he decided to pick up an ELECTIVE surgery. I think he did a great job, really like him, but would never recommend him because of that.

Dr. Bagwe removed a neuroma from my foot. Not only did it not fix anything the foot is worse! I cannot even take a pain free step. When I went to see doctor Bagwe and told him of the situation he basically came up with every excuse in the book on why it wasn't his fault. I came into his office and pain and was sent away in the same pain. This guy is a joke. I implore you to try every other option before visiting this doctor.

After I had suffered severe pain for over 10 years with multiple podiatrist visits, physical therapy, injections, crazy boots and contraptions- Dr Bagwe diagnosed me with accuracy within minutes of my visit. He performed 5 procedures in 3 surgeries over the next year on both of my feet. His precision and experience are remarkable. I am very pleased with my results and wish I had seen him sooner! Dr Bagwe is patient and does well at explaining procedures. I highly recommend!

Didn't listen well. Ignored my complaints until I demanded an MRI which showed other broken bones in foot.

Dr. Bagwe recently performed surgery on my son who had broken his ankle during a sporting event. From the initial first visit to all post operative care Dr. Bagwe spent much of his time explaining the process and answering our questions. I love that the doctor not only answered my questions but took the time to educate my son as well. My son always looked forward to his appointments because Dr. Bagwe and his staff were very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend Dr. Bagwe.

Felt rushed. Mentioned that I think I also hurt my shoulder in my fall and he said he'd look at it in four weeks instead of looking into it. I had a torn labrum! I think he spent less than 2 minutes with me. Nurse was short and both of them stood 10 feet away while I struggled to open the door to leave. Crutches hard to maneuver with three shoulder injuries! Never went back.

Bagwe diagnosed me with at bone fragment under foot which he supposively removed but I continued to have problems. He recommend bone stem but I got a second opinion and found out that I have a bone spur in a difficult place that was the main issue. Because he didn't address bone spur issue the first time I spend $$$$ on deductible and endured pain from a surgery that did not address issue. I need a second surgery.
