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.

I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Bauer and about 11 years ago. I had multiple miscarriages without any explanations or investigations into the cause. I had been failed by many a doctor. I met Dr. Bauer and early in my pregnancy (my daughter is ten now), and at the consultation I cried on him explaining all my unexplained losses. He was the only doctor that listened. He ordered an INR to find out if I had any clotting factors. Guess what- I did! I had two protein deficiencies that affect clotting time and CAUSE miscarriages!! His specific wording was that I "may be clotting behind the placenta." Dr. B told me to take baby aspirin and later the maternal specialist gave me lovenox. Thanks to him we have three children and 1 on the way. I'll be forever grateful and indebted. He and his nurse at the time would pray with and for me. May God bless and keep him!!

I saw him 13 years ago in my first pregnancy. Worst decision I ever made.I was young and didn't know any better. He was rude, dismissive, and ruined my birth experience. Not to mention he really screwed me up when he stitched me up afterwards. Made a "joke" about extra stitches for my husband right after I had given birth and I had no idea he was serious until later on when I found out the hard way. Ladies run far and fast from this one. The only good thing was that I learned everything I didn't want and a doctor from him, and chose much wiser for my second pregnancy.

I ended up at Bauerband's office after my previous Dr moved. I have PCSO so I'm use to the Dr's performing ultrasounds to make sure the cysts haven't grown or what have you. But when I went in for my yearly exam he refused to do an ultrasound even after I asked. The year before my results came back positive for HPV so I wanted to see if it had cleared up like it does in most people. When I asked him about it he said they don't test for it and just brushed me off. I've never felt more ignored.

I'm changing in my third trimester. I really am tired of him. He expresses absolutely no concern if I'm sick and will interrupt you, without care. This is my third pregnancy and I gotta say, I wish I never chose him when I moved down here. He even has yet to check if my cervix is doing what it needs to do. I recently heard he can't even stitch you up right after birth. Unnecessary pain. If you go to a doc visit expect to be done in more than an hour. He never ever has seen me on time.
