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.

He showed me some old person's knee xrays. Stated I had bones of a 90 year old women. Went for 5 years thinking I was doomed. Found out through another Ortho that he messed up. My bones are not even close to being bad. I have tried for years to get those xrays and they never send them. Guess they know they screwed up.

Morris Baumgarten should be banned from doing surgery and his ego should be sledgehammered out of existence. A 20 lb. hammer over the course of two days would be appropriate, followed by numerous unspeakable horrors, the only problem being that he is too stupid to understand why this course of treatment is necessary. In days passed he would have been tarred and feathered then set on fire in a public display of what happens to a$$holes who get through medical school

The worst Dr or surgeon, Dr Baumgarten I once considered a friend before he did my knee surgery. You see he was only to work on my knee, but I had severe injuries both my shoulders, cervical, thoracic, lumbar spinal injuries with impingements. Because of Morris Baumgarten submitting medical notes saying that I was exaggerating all of my injuries in which he did not even look at and was not treating, I had to fight for my SSD for over ten years. Dr Baumarten is so conceded he never even xrayed my knee after doing surgery on it and it has continued to hurt and bother my ability to walk. He thought he was so good that his work was perfect and nothing could be wrong. He also performed the second surgery on my wife's foot and did the same thing, but we went for another opinion and come to find out his surgery didn't even work on her, bones in her foot continues to this day to be broken and she has been in pain for over 6 years, but he said she was exaggerating her pain as well. WORST D

Was referred to Dr. Baumgarten after the first referral doctor was unavailable. Dr. Baumgarten misdiagnosed my injury to such an extent that I have been engaging in daily activities for over 2 months with multiple fractures instead of the 1 FRACTURE he said was the ONLY fracture. He acted as if telling me what was taking place in MY BODY was an inconvenience. In my opinion he is either incompetent, arrogant, or suffering from mental illness. It's a pitty that he is allowed to practice medicine.

Outstanding Dr. B is simply put the best. Hilarious and puts you right at ease. Along with his great ,friendly staff and always right on time. Scoped my knee and got me back to 100% when I broke my hand. Got me in right away was in surgery a couple of days later. I was back to playing Golf and Surfing within a short time frame. Replaced both knees for my wife. Even made a house call on a Sat. for her. Doesn't sugar coat anything. Always goes the extra mile. Top notch - Fight On Dr. B Thanks
