Dr. Bauer was thorough and prepared already having reviewed my supporting scans. He answered all my questions. I felt fortunate to having been able to engage him for my treatment.

I travel over an hour and a half to come see Dr. Bauer once a year for my lung screening. There is nothing that this provider can improve on. He is excellent. And I will see him until he tells me I don't need to anymore. And then I will be very sad. There's very few doctors that have the compassion and the genuine love and care for his patients that this doctor has.

Dr Bauer knows my medical history and knows me. He explains everything and ensures I understand.

Really, really enjoyed my appointment with Dr. Bauer, who's not only clearly brilliant--i trust his judgment completely-- but thoughtful, kind, compassionate, understanding, great at explaining, & even--just one more plus--expressed interest in the book i was reading while waiting for him ( not that i waited for more than a couple of minutes ?). An all-round great person & MD. & the receptionist who signed me in and assistant who weighed me & took my blood pressure were lovely too. Definitely a five-star experience!

Professional helpful staff. Doctor spent time with me explained my diagnosis (nodules) follow up and why.

The doctor spent lots of time explaining the issues to me, and I appreciated their being. I think he referred to her as a PA in the room who was doing all the typing, so the doctor didn't have to keep looking at the computer. He was just focusing on me and my problem. I really appreciated that. He took plenty of time to study and explain through the visit.

You were great.

I waited more than 45 minutes and wasn't told why, period. I think he was kind of condescending and picked the most drastic measure for treatment. I think he was kind of showing off in front of the students that were in the room. I don't think he listened very well. And I think he used an analogy that was incredibly disrespectful.

I think the doors should be open for people who park in the lit. Seems redicioulous to have to walk around entire building to enter Hope Tower. That really should be changed to accommodate the patients.

Dr. Bauer has spent all the time that I required of him to explain my health concerns and how to make them improved. He is a patient, thorough doctor, and I appreciate having him as my doctor.
