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.

Insurance billing inept. Need more training with.

Worth the drive to Cleveland Clinic Florida east coast for Rheumatology. This man is enormously overworked, with staff that is indifferent at best. He's polite (not staff) but has no time for anything but treating the worst of cases.

I waited over an hour to be seen only to be told the lab didn't do half of my tests. I had 13 viles of blood taken a week and half before my appointment date. How do you not check that all ordered tests were available before you come in for appointment!! I walked out! Don't waste your time seeing this practice!!!

Do not trust this doctor or anything they tell you in his office. Communication is horrible. The doctor’s bedside manner sucks. I wouldn’t take a dog her

He is rude and no bed side manners at all. Looking for a new doc. Gave him 3 tries but when he stands at the door and offers nothing it’s time to move on!

I was a long time patient of Dr B's when the practice was known as IMA. Saw him in Cape Coral, later at Metro office. From day one, he corrected a prior doc's misdiagnosis and got me started on the pathway to dealing with 2 long term illnesses. He was always professional and cared how I fared in day to day life. Unfortunately, I had to transfer to a practice that specializes in pain management due to the amounts and types of pain meds necessary for my treatment. Current docs concur with Dr. Baldinger's treatment plan. I recommend Dr Baldinger w/o hesitation!

My doctor referred me to Dr. Ballinger, but after reading the reviews I was terrified to make an appointment. After getting sick, I had no choice but to make the appt. I am so glad I did HE is a WONDERFUL DR. He Listened to me, got the medication right the first time. I am very greatful for DR. Ballinger. My pain is so much better.

I saw this doctor today for the first time and I am only going back to get my results and then take them to another doctor to review. I was in his office for 2 HOURS and only spent a total of 20 minutes with him. His staff was super rude and unfriendly and the doctor acted like he had no clue why he was seeing me. My records were sent by my referring physician yet he didn't even bother to review them, said they wereven ever sent. I wouldn't recommend this place much less trust him.

My husband was referred to Dr. Baldinger for ongoing back pain with a history of ulcerative colitis. The doctor ordered an MRI. The office stated that he needs to come in for results. I got the results from med records. There was an abnormality. When we went to follow up he said it all looks fine. I said what about this on his spinal cord? He said I don't even have that MRI result here. I said well you ordered it. He said I don't know, it's not inflammatory though. Dangerous!!!

He is the first Doctor Who found my vitamin D deficiency, and ran the test to find other problems that I was experiencing. Without him I would still be struggling he is the best doctor as far as rheumatologist that I have ever known and highly regard. You can trust him and he does extra research to be sure he is treating you correctly. His staff is also very friendly and helpful
