This twit did a surgery that was archaic and not in use anymore, the side effects left me disabled and in pain. Save your money, time and aggravation by going to almost any other orthopedic surgeon who doesn’t have mental illness issues

Today it my first time went to beach after knee replacement. My Knee replacement surgery results was very successful. I can walk without long leg brace. I feel no pain in my knee. My knee can stand up straight now which i could never stand up straight since i was one year old due to POLIO. Miracle does happen in life. I sincerely thanks Dr. Baumgarten his support and professional service.

It is a huge shame for Dr. Baumgarten's office. Doctors and their staff should be professional, kind, and understanding to patients who are suffering. However, Amber - the in-charge scheduling staff is unprofessional, rude, uneducated, and ugly mannered manages that office. She should be immediately fired so that patients don't have to encounter such a shame!!!

He takes time to talk to you and did three hip replacements which were good. The last one was because I fell and broke the screw in my last hip replacement which was not his fault. I would highly recommend him

This dishonest,arrogant man caused me to have a life long sleep disorder by doing a surgery I told him not to do, and has left me with an unfixable problem. I can live with this permanently disruptive sleep situation for only so long before it travels into another dimension

I appreciated the time that Dr. Baumgarten gave me at my first appointment with him. He sat down and talked to me, asked me questions, and made me feel like he cared about me as a person, not just as a patient. I would recommend him ten fold.
