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.

Poor patient relations.
Dr. Baman cancelled my appointment twice. I guess he had better things to do than see his patients!!

He will order test . I had echo holster monitor . Stress test & Detailed CT. I was not happy with the way he explained my results and my questions were not appropriately answered. I don’t think he addressed my problems related to medicine for my chest pain and was unwilling to prescribe me any medicine to decrease my symptoms including prolonged stress for which I have tried everything under the sun. I have been reluctant to report chest pain because I don’t have a standing treatment plan as of now. I saw him in Augusta GA . He didn’t make any recommendations to my treatment team of specialist either. Overall I left his office very confused with a lot of questions that had not been properly resolved

Dr. Baman is a highly skilled, compassionate and practical doctor. When I saw him at PMMC, I felt I was in good hands. Would not hesitate to recommend him.

He has poor manors and makes obnoxious comments about patients. He showed disinterest in my condition and said this if I don't take a certain med "If you don't get your cholesterol down, I'm done".
