Rushes you and talks over you. Nothing resolved. Left a message during business hours that my child was having a problem and it took 3 days to call back.

Dr Bader is an excellent specialist and has a wonderful bedside manner. I was surprised by the negative ratings, because he has treated my family with the utmost respect and assesses our children with expertise and knowledge. He easily spends a half an hour with us each visit, asks us pertinent questions, writes an involved plan of action, etc. he is an amazing doctor, and we are so lucky to have him! Thankyou Dr Bader!

This doctor has no knowledge of Ped GI. Very discouraging and not at all ready to work with the patient. Very disappointed. Dont waste time and money on him.

Dr Bader is the best specialist out of 10 that my daughter has seen. He accurately diagnosed her and we look forward to continuing to see him. He spent 45 minutes with us the very first time we saw him. Kind and good with kids.

Appreciated the time Dr. Bader spent understand my son's problem and diagnosing the malady. He followed up with our pediatrician and we saw him for an office follow-up 3 months later. He seems very caring. Most importantly my son felt comfortable with the doctor's demeanor and caring.
