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.

Rude office staff, wonderful doctor
Since Dr. Bailen is in a private practice, I feel like I have to rate my entire experience. I’ve never had a problem with Dr. Balin, however, his office staff was so incredibly rude over the phone that I decided not only to decline being his patient, but to forego NWH altogether for my Gastroenterological care. His secretary was completely unhelpful and borderline hostile. I was trying to schedule a colonoscopy which was for higher risk, and she was arguing that I didn’t need to come as soon as I claimed. My Dr disagrees. Then she accused me of trying to get her to cancel somebody else’s appointment so I can get in sooner. Really? Are that many people excited about colonoscopies that they want to jump ahead of other patients? I don’t think so. She became annoyed at the most simplistic questions regarding availability. If it weren’t so early in the morning when I called, I think that she had a long day. it’s shocking that somebody like her remains on staff.

I've been under Dr. Bailen's care for a decade or so and couldn't be more pleased. He is exceedingly polite and professional. Top notch in his filed and a great listener to boot. Spends all necessary time to ensure I've got the information I need. Great practitioner and diagnostician. Hard to beat.
