Thank you Dr. Baum! I was working in the CCU was in pain, tearing, and couldn't see to chart on the computer. Thank you to you and your wonderful staff for fitting me in on your busy schedule and getting me back to my critical patients. Thank you Emily for putting me at ease. You have a great time with you.

I went to Dr Baum after seeing another Dr who wanted to do both eyes for cataracts but he said it was definitely not necessary. Two years later it's still been only one eye. He was right. His staff is so efficient and professional I feel I'm getting a complete exam. I highly recommend him.

Spent more time with Nurse than Dr. I went for a first time visit and was asked if I was okay with getting my eyes dilated, with no pre-arranged driver or expectation this was going to happen. The nurse had a very matter of fact attitude. Patients are moved back and forth between examine rooms and waiting rooms which feels more like the RMV than a Dr.'s office.

I like Dr. Baum. I know he's a caring individual because I know of some other volunteer work that he participates with. He mannerisms can lead you to believe he distant but it's just his personality. He's a very committed doctor and stays abreast of improvements and research in his field.

I was referred to Dr Baum by another Dr. I also read some of his reviews listed here which may not have been all positive. My personal experience with Dr. Baum and his entire staff was excellent. 5 star ratings across the board. He was very patient, and attentive to my descriptions of my concerns. His explanations to me of my condition were very thorough, and understandable. I had complete trust in his actions and abilities. I would highly recommend him to anyone who may be hesitant like I was to seeing someone new. Good luck.

He may be a good doctor but I overheard him talk to one of his staff in a very rude heartless manner. He must be a monster to work for.

He listened to everything I had to say and made a very careful diagnosis.
