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.

As far as I am concerned Dr. Baxter when it comes to physicians, they come NO better than Dr. Baxter. This physician is not just a doctor, but a human being as well. He has restored my faith in the medical/psychiatric profession. Aside from God, I am a firm believer that he is the reason I love today. I possess an implicit trust in him, one that I have never had in other doctors. My issue with Dr. Baxter is that I only am able to see him 1x monthly. Definitely wish it were more.

Dr. Baxter will always have a special place in my heart.. My fiancé was diagnosed with Stage 3 Liver Cancer & ordered Palliative Care... At the initial visit, Dr. Baxter's demeanor was very calm, professional & matter-of-fact... It was refreshing... And at the end, Dr. had Vincent transferred to Hospice House where the staff took care of US, as a family... (dr.even hugged me) His last hours were comfortable & he passed peacefully with dignity.. THANK YOU SIR FOR ALL YOU DO !! Jeannie J.

Dr. Baxter was with me from my first blood clot removal surgery till today. He is amazing compassionate and helpful. He helped me after my amputation and always listens to my mental and pain issues. He is one of the few doctors I truly trust.
