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.

Lack of Respect
Dr. Bash left us sitting in ER for over 4 hours without even visiting my daughter. If you don’t care about patients, leave the profession.

I had been discharged from Morristown Hospital the day before after spending a few hours assessed in the psychiatric unit. My father and I met with Dr. Bash the next day. He was kind, intelligent, and very knowledge. To this day he is the best psychiatrist I’ve ever worked with. It was a pleasure being his patient for the short time I saw him.

I stayed at Morristown medical center a week ago. Talking to Dr. Bash was by far the best part of my visit. He spoke to me more as a friend to friend with more knowledge rather then a doctor just lecturing his patient. So many things he said, made so much sense and I will never forget my experience with Dr. Bash. He is definitely not like other doctors and this is being in said in the greatest way. He actually listens, and guides. Doesn’t judge , and i was able to see his compassion he has for his work. Thank you so much Dr. Bash!

Dr. Bash is an amazing doctor. Totally dedicated to his profession and his patients. He saved my life. He still has. Very patient and a great listener. I had a very good experience when I really needed someone to help me.

After 2 trips to the Emergency room at Morristown Hospital where I let the staff know that my son had been talking about hurting himself, Dr Bash did not feel this warranted his time to stop by and evaluate my son. Instead he was able to diagnose the issue as a neurological one without ever stepping foot in my son’s room at the hospital. The doctor is incredible..ly lazy and unprofessional. You would this that “hurting ones self” falls under psychiatry not Neurology. STAY AWAY FROM THIS DR

A Concerned Father – Jan 03, 2018

I had a similar experience with Dr. Bash. In my visit, he posed that I speak to him now or later, and I was not ready, so I responded later. Once he entered my patient room again, I was sitting on the bed and he immediately pushed the food stand/table in front of me and pulled it up towards its full height, resting his arms on top as to assert his authority. VERY SCARY and intimidating fellow I would say. Not my cup of tea whatsoever. Would not recommend treatment from him in anyway.

Dr. Bash had already reached conclusions before talking to me and was ready to move on to the next patient. No real listening, no time. He's perfect for the hospital setting he works in where frequently patients don't select their doctors and don't need to see them again. I doubt that he would be successful in a private practice.
