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.

Great Physician Focused on My Needs

Dr.Baig was very personable and listened to me. He actually sat and talked to me instead of just typing into a computer. I really appreciated that.

Initial visit with Dr Baig
This was my first time seeing Dr Baig and I must say, I was impressed. He was very thorough and knowledgeable along with being understanding. Plus he LISTENED. That is so hard to find it seems. I have transferred my pain management to Dr Baig.

Never
No one told me this was a cortisone shot. I was under the impression it was a gel injection. No one left instructions that any shingle shots or Covid shots should not be taken within a two weeks of injection. A staff member at Dr Baig’s office called to confirm the date of my appointment but never told me of what precautions should be taken two weeks before (no steroid injections) cortisone appointment.

Very positive experience
I was referred to Dr. Baig by Dr. Drake for severe sciatic pain down my left leg.Dr. Baig was very compassionate and listened to my complaints. He gave me an epidural steroid injection and I felt relief immediately. He is kind and very professional. I will recommend him to anyone. Very grateful.

Work relating to back and leg pain
I would like to show my gratitude for the experience that Dr. Baig, his staff and Core overall, in working with me to overcome my back issues. I had a curved spine since birth. He was never an issue until just before my 70th birthday. I tend to be a major walker, most day I walk 5 to 10 miles a day. 6 months ago, I started experiencing back pain with then spread to my left legs. I choice to contact Core due to my wife past experience with the Core Orthopedics. During the initial meeting, Xray's were taken, and I was referred to Dr. Baig. He took his time to explain the steps that we would take, with consisted Therapy, Cortisone shots and finally Ablation. The doctor and support staff were personable and very knowable. I am back walking at least 5 miles most days. I would highly recommend both Dr. Baig and Core to everyone who have problems similar to mine.
