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.

Dr Baz is the best!
Dr Baz does a great job explaining what’s going on, following up, and genuinely caring how you do. Not to mention, he does the absolute best bedside bronchoscopes ever!!

Dr Baz did my lung transplant 1/20/03. He is the very best of the best. Extra-ordinary, at knowing the numbers from tests his patients take, and interested in all that affected his patient. I attribute my years to his care. It has been impossible to get comparable care since his transfer. God speed and bless you in all you do. Thank you for your care and being you.

Everything you read good about this man is true. He's a doctor in every sence of the word. Here's my story I saw three pulmonary doctors before him. I was on 10 liters of oxygen and diagnosed with an acute pulmonary Fibrosis. He's upfront and honest with you from day one. He cares about his patients and their families. Once you see this man you're going to realize he's the person you will realize why he's the only doctor for your pulmonary needs.

He saved my husband life, he needed a lung transplant and arrived to Dr Baz office for a routine appointment, he was literally dying, he had to wait for almost 4 years to get listed it because was overweight, Dr Baz admitted him in the hospital and never gave up on him until he got his new lungs, he’s the best Dr we ever had, caring, friendly, dedicated to his patients and extremely smart, our gratitude for everything is doing for my husband and all the rest of his patients is limitless.

Dr. Baz was my primary doctor for my bi-lateral lung transplant. Dr. Baz was always sincere and I trusted him fully. I have had a better Doctor before or since my transplant.
