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.

UTI Healer
I have been dealing with a UTI for over 4 years off and on, so bad that visits to my OBGYN were twice a month. I was introduced to Dr. Baxter 6 months ago and I explained my UTI and what its been like for the last 4 years. He said the medication that I have been given by my OBGYN was not strong enough to get rid of the UTI. He recommended an ultrasound and a stronger antibiotic and it was like MAGIC. I have been UTI free for 5 months. Thank you Dr. Baxter for giving me a UTI free life.

Excellent doctor
If you want to see a Urologist who does not have the personality of a proctologist then I recommend Dr. Baxter. He listened and explained everything and answered all my questions.

A very pleasant experience
Like another reviewer, I was randomly assigned Dr. Baxter after having a severe UTI that landed me in the ER twice. The ER doctor urged me to follow up with a urologist. I won’t lie, I was nervous for this visit after reading some of his reviews. As a 25 year old female, I felt a little out of place but he made me feel very comfortable. I have anxiety so I was rambling a bit, but I could tell he was listening to everything. He validated my concerns and ordered some further testing which I greatly appreciated. He’s a great doctor and I’m confident that he’ll get to the bottom of whatever is going on with me.

Good Doc
I had a very good experience with Dr. Baxter. I was assigned to him at random and didn't know what to expect. He did a great job of explaining things, treated me with respect, and was very professional. At times I needed medical attention on short notice and he always worked me in and took care of the problem. He went above and beyond. Had I not moved out of state, he would still be my Dr.

I saw Dr. Baxter today for possible kidney/bladder issues. He was professional, concerned and answered the questions that I had. I had a number of tests prior to coming to see him and he was honest with me that I didn't need anything further. I would recommend Dr. Baxter to future patients.

My elderly mother met with Dr. Baxter and he was very gruff with her. She went back a second time and said she will not be going back to him. He was harsh with his explanation of what her alternatives were for her bladder condition.

I have been seeing Dr. Baxter for five years and he has provided excellent medical care. He is not only an excellent doctor, but a genuinely good and decent person who cares about others. I feel blessed to have been assigned to him.

My husband been a patient of Dr. Baxter. I am about to be. After a bad experience with another urologist, my husband saw Dr. Baxter for a second opinion. He has treated him in a professional and caring way. He took the time to explain every test result, my husbands current condition, and a suggestion for a future treatment plan. As a result of my husband experience I have just scheduled an appointment to see him for a urological problem of my own. I would recommend him to my friends and family.

I had my first appointment with Dr. Baxter a couple of weeks ago. He was most personable taking more than enough time to review my condition and answer all my urological questions; in addition, he generously answered questions I had about another medical modality providing very helpful suggestions. Only disappointment: he refused to request Tier exception for outrageously priced, but needed med. Doctor's careful phrasing makes deniability difficult for Ins Co. Otherwise 5 stars.
