Dr. Rauf Baba, MD

I’ve been seeing Dr. Baba for 7 years now. He’s been a blessing in getting my thyroid condition under control. Very professional and caring.

I have had many endocrinologist and out of them all, Dr. Baba and his staff surpassed them all. Great environment to be in especially when you drive a good distance. My husband and I both, find it worth our time as Dr. Baba treats us like we matter and not like some doctors do “call in my next patient please” lol …. I know sometimes I feel like my situation with my health is complicated but, Doc always treats it like its nothing to hard, in fact, this is a walk in the park…. just work with me…..although, he has never said that, it is how he make us feel.

Is always very attentive. Provides treatment in a candid succinct manner. Truly an asset to work with as a patient.

From the checking process to the visit with Dr Baba everything went smoothly and the wait was not overly long. Very thorough and easy to understand everything.

Minimum wait time… staff extremely friendly, caring and professional.Dr Baba is very thorough. He cares deeply about his patients. He never rushes through an appointment. He has been my endocrinologist for at least 20 years. He asks questions and then listens to me. He stays abreast of the newest developments and innovations regarding diabetes. Because he cares I can keep my diabetes under control.

I can understand the wait time is not what people like, but you got to understand he sees his patients according and explains there situation. He’s been my Doctor for several years now, and in my book he’s number #1

Dr. Baba and his staff always go the extra mile to provide me with the most up-to-date care specifically designed for my needs. Very thorough and always there to answer questions and help.

I visited Dr. Baba and his staff at the Dyersburg office. The staff greeted me with a welcoming hello, and how can I help you?As I was lead back to get ready to see Dr. Baba his nurses and staff were so polite and courteous. Dr. Baba is through and is down to earth with you. I would recommend anyone that has diabetes to schedule a visit with this fabulous team!

Deanna always listens and takes time to explain to his patients. I have been w him for 19 years and will travel to any location to see him.

He was very personable and seemed to genuinely care about my well being

Been my thyroid doctor for years. Saved my life by diagnosis of para thyroid. He is genuinely concerned about me and my health. He and his team are amazing.

Dr. Baba is experienced but does not listen to patients. He is a poor communicator and makes assumptions based on his experience rather than a patient's symptoms. I would drive to Nashville or Memphis before I saw him again.

Dr Baba is great, he listens and explains your health concerns very well. I had to use on call on a weekend and the nurse practitioner was wonder. I was having very highs and very lows and she stayed in contact with me all weekend and adjusted my insulin. Now that being said the wait for your appointment time is just horrible. You better allow 2 hours for your appointment. I’ve never waited less than a hour in the waiting room only to go back and wait again. Need to be more prompt.

Dr. Baba's his office doesn't always report test results to you -- only if they're bad from an endocrinology standpoint. But after finally tracking down the results of my last test (after three calls to his office were ignored), I found some troubling non-endocrinology items that I needed to know about. His office did not report a potentially serious issue that was visible on a CT scan and noted by the radiologist. Time to find a new doctor.

Dr Baba sincerely cares for his patients. He listens very closely to your concerns and spends time answering your questions and explaining his treatment plan. He started treating my husband for diabetes, and then saw me for thyroid issues. He feels like family now to us and his staff are also very kind and caring. I don’t know what we would do without Dr. Baba! He is truly a blessing!!

He was very helpful and easy to talk to. He helped me better understand the issues I have been having.

Very thorough!

He has such a pleasant personality. So compassionate about his patient's overall health conditions. He kindly answers questions and enjoys training his patients on how to improve their lifestyles while living with Diabetics. He even educates all present family members. He is by far one of the best Endocrinologists that I have ever had. Many thanks to him and his sweet staff. Everyone is so patient and kind.

I LOVE GOING TO SEE DR. BABA, AFTER HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY TYPE 2 DIABETES, AND LOW THYROID ISSUES, HE PUT ME ON THE PUMP WE HAVE GOTTEN MY A1C FROM 11 DOWN TO 8.2, AND NOW HE IS TRYING TO GET MY THYROID LEVELS CORRECED, I WILL SEE NO ONE ELSE, EXCELLENT DOCTOR AND I ENJOY GOING TO SEE HIM. GOOD BED SIDE MANNER.

I first saw dr baba 3 years ago for low energy, hair loss on my arms, legs & scalp, fatigue, anxiety, weight gain, muscle loss, sleep disturbance, tinnitus anxiety. He ran basic thyroid test & a few hormone tests & he’d tell me to come back in 6 months. He did this for 3 years. On one visit, he prescribed me dhea & also ran a dhea test that same day to determine my dhea level. Only after getting on the portal to look over my test results...did I realize my dhea levels were already too high. He never called me to tell me not to take the dhea, I had to call him to ask him about it. Every 6 mos I’d go back & my symptoms were getting worse & he’d run the same tests & he’d tell me to come back in 6 months. Finally, I messaged him on the portal & I was very polite & basically begged him to run more tests & to please help me figure out what’s wrong with me. His response...I dnt think your symptoms are hormone related. After 3 years...he’s now going to tell me this?
