I was treated with caring and respect . Never had such and easy and painless pelvic exam!

I noticed there aren't any current reviews about Dr. Baick. I was a patient from 2021-2022 at the Tustin offices. After a handful of appointments, I had a laparoscopic hysterectomy at the UCI medical center in Orange. I was astonished by how smoothly the procedure went and how quickly I healed. I know every "body" is different but I've had two other less intensive laparoscopic procedures for endometriosis yet my recovery after this hysterectomy was far easier. I also know a couple of other women who had hysterectomies around the same time I did in different states and both of them experienced complications. I didn't have a single complication. Unlike the two doctors who performed my previous surgeries, Dr. Baick didn't push her personal opinions or beliefs on me. Even after I told my previous doctor that my husband and I did not plan to have any children, he wouldn't perform a hysterectomy because I was "still in my childbearing years" and he felt that my husband and I may change our minds. It's unfortunate how common stories like this are within Catholic healthcare networks when it comes to women's health. If you find yourself in this situation switch to Kaiser, Hoag, or UCI Health. I've been in a lot of OB/GYN offices through the years and wait times can be an issue due to deliveries and surgeries and that's just the case everywhere, but Dr. Baick and her staff try their best to keep wait times to a minimum and keep things moving. Any time I had questions or concerns I communicated with them through the MyChart app and I'd have responses within 24-48 hours. I am very grateful to Dr. Baick for her professionalism, her outstanding medical skills, and for performing a successful surgery that has changed my life. I feel like a new person because I am no longer suffering and dealing with debilitating pain. read more

This Dr Baick's associate Ashley Mendoza promised United Health to fill out form so I would not have to pay $90 For osteoporosis Med. She blew it off. She should not have a job for a reputable Dr. the office staff is messed up. Their word means nothing read more

Dr. Baick delivered my first baby and by some twist of fate, I am due for my second just 12 months apart from my first. She is a great doctor. She gets to the point and offers concern at just the right time. I need a doctor to be like that as I can be worried very easily so it helps that she isn't throwing out the concern left and right just for kicks. My son was late and she scheduled an induction without making me wait any longer than a couple days. I didn't have to request the induction, she just knew I was done being pregnant and scheduled it a few days after my due date had passed. The hospital was overwhelmed with women having babies on my induction date so I was made to wait but she pushed so that I was still able to get induced on the date we discussed. My son was also quite stubborn and I felt like I was there forever and Dr. Baick was there to deliver him at 2am. She had to give me a pep talk about 30 minutes before so that I could keep pushing. I'm glad she did that. I didn't want a c-section. I just appreciate her as a doctor for being there when it mattered. Sure, I have spent quite a bit of time waiting but I always wait at any doctor's office. Thank goodness the waiting room is comfy. Additionally, Dr. Baick's assistant Elena, is the nicest one out of the entire office. I had to see a different doctor while Dr. Baick was on vacation once and that assistant was so sour! It was by sheer chance that I found Dr. Baick but I'm glad I did. And coincidentally, a lot of other women I know have her as a doctor too. I hate feeling coddled if there is too much bedside manner and I hate feeling like I'm a nobody when there isn't enough. She has good bedside manner and she is always straight away to the point. I like that combo. read more

Dr Baick 3-4 Stars, competent, educated, straight forward Her front office and assistant 1 Star, lack warmth, seem easily annoyed, neither smiled once, trying hard to move people along without the necessity of customer service Wait time 1 Star ... I was on time and waited 1 hour and 10 minutes to actually see the doctor. read more

Horrible. Cold and passive. Never came to see me in the hospital after I gave birth nor set up postpartum appointment. Do not choose her. read more

I've seen Dr. Baick for my annual exams for the last couple years. First I like the location. Its right off the freeway. It also has valet or structure parking, and its clean. At her office, I usually don't have to wait too long. And if there are lab tests needed, I just walk down the hall to the lab offices. As for Dr. Baick, my experiences with her have been great. She makes me feel at ease, and she is very easy to talk to. read more

Just saw Dr. Baick this morning for my annual exam. I loved her! She took the time to ask me all the questions about my health, history, concerns, etc and really took the time to listen. The exam itself wasn't awkward because she told me everything she was doing. I felt very at ease with her. Also, her assistant is SO nice. I chatted with her for a while and she made me feel very comfortable. I didn't have to wait for longer than 10 minutes to be seen which was great. My advice is to just be on time, show respect to your doctor, and they will show respect back. read more

So this review is solely on how I never received a call back from Dr. Baick's assistant. I called about a week & a half ago around 3:30PM. No one answered and the voice mail said to leave a message for the assistant of Dr. Baick. I left a detailed message stating if I could recieve a call back to know if she was accepting new patients. I left my name and number and repeated it, TWICE! I figured, ok shes a busy gal, her assistant should call me back within a day or so. Or if, at the VERY LEAST as a courtesy, be handed off to another rep who would inform me of the process, if indeed she was accepting new-bes. Not a single call nor voice mail. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE ALREADY!!! This, my fellow yelpers, is horrible in my book. No matter how great the doctor is, the staff represent the whole facility in which you enter. The doctor is just the icing on the cake that makes everything better. Now, to clarify the reason in chosing this doctor; my insurance provider had her as a top rated doctor on the Web. I was so stoked to meet her. I also can't help but notice other yelpers saying great things. But, sad to say, I probably will not recieve a call and apology, nor will I even want to proceed with any further mishaps in this place. Fair warning for callers. read more

Dr. Baick is wonderful. Her nurse is an absolute sweetheart. I was impressed that she was concerned and was touched that she was so thorough in her examination. I had seen several doctors for abnormal bleeding and fatigue. I was not given any tests other than a routine pap smear. Dr. Baick ordered an ultrasound and a biopsy and scheduled a followup to discuss treatment options. I was shocked that a Doctor had given me so much time. She is articulate, professional and intelligent and relates well with her patients. I love this doctor and her nurse. The only reason for the four stars, is that I think this group of OBGYNS should invest in higher caliber, service-oriented, out-of-the-box thinking front desk people. I found them to be robotic and with inadequate communication skills regarding paperwork, signing in, co-pays....etc. read more

FINALLY I have found an OB/ GYN that is great! Unfortunately, she did not deliver my last two children, but found her once I became fed up with the inadequacies of my last OB/ GYN who ALWAYS ran terribly late! Although the office is located in the St. Joseph's Pavilion (you do have to park in a structure) and the elevator wait is a bit annoying; the conveniences of having the blood lab directly next door and an ultrasound tech on staff makes this office a convenient one-stop-shop (so to say). The environment is very clean, they do not overbook and I have never had to wait longer than 15 minutes to be called into a room. Impressively, Dr. Baick runs on schedule and has a wonderful bedside manner. She is genuine, a Mother herself who understands and spends quality time with you serving your needs. One of my complaints about this office is the complacent staff. I have high expectations when it comes to service and unfortunately, those who work the front and back desks do not appear to be happy most the time. Their approach to work is systematic and un-personable. Although this could be a deterring factor to those looking for a new OB/ GYN, understand that the loyalty to this office is with the doctor(s) more importantly. I should also mention that Dr. Baicks' Assistant Elena is great and down to earth! Lastly, I have also seen Dr. Sheen in Dr. Baicks' absence and he too appears to be great having a professional bed side manner. Unfortunately, his Assistant was awful and has been the only true flaw in my experiences with this small medical group. I give the Doctors and Assistants five stars and the supporting staff two stars! Hopefully this will change sometime soon. :) read more

This is by far the worst doctor ever! She doesn't care about her patients or their health. She has a very cold demeanor and is always rushing you. Any time I had a question, she would cut me off with an answer before I even finished asking it. Despite this being my first pregnancy, she never took the time to explain anything, including the first and second trimester screening. She just handed me the booklet. She also never listened to the baby's heartbeat. The nurse always did it. Making things worse, her staff is equally cold, and one of her workers is the most passive-aggressive person you'll ever meet. I have never seen so many sociopaths in one office! Now that I have switched doctors, I can say for certain that she is a horrible doctor running a horrible practice. Avoid if you can! read more

I saw Dr. Baick for three yearly check ups mainly out of convenience, but now that I no longer live in Orange, I'm happy to look for a new doctor. Her office was never able to schedule an exam under a month out, and one year they tried to charge me twice for a single appointment, which they claimed was common practice when an appointment goes longer than usual (which mine didn't at all.) The office staff was not especially friendly or helpful during phone calls and Dr. Baick herself tended to be cool and perfunctory in her interactions with me. Annual exams can be a little awkward and she did nothing to diminish this. Not a bad doctor, but I'm sure I'll find a better one in my new city. read more

She is ok. Competent, but not the best bedside manner.

Saw dr.Baick today, and I'm glad I did chose her as my ob. dr. Baick is very nice, explains things in detail, made me feel comfortable . Had to have small procedure but doctor made everything to make it less painful and uncomfortable, specially that I was very scared before the procedure. Office staff is very nice too. read more

Dr. Baick is I'm sure competent and educated, but there is a real lack of attention. I did not feel she was engaged in my care at all. Her office staff (maybe not all but a few) are inattentive. In December I booked a January appointment. Two days before it was changed to a month later. A week before that one it was changed again ... so I gave up and will find someone new. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Baick for about three years. She is beyond wonderful. She has helped me through a series of serious medical issues and I could not be more pleased with how thorough, compassionate and caring she has been. I am grateful for all she has done for me and appreciate the level of knowledge and professionalism she exudes. She is brilliant and I trust her implicitly. I feel fortunate to be her patient. read more

Dr.Baick was godsent! From the moment I met her I felt I was cured! She listens and gives you a her full attention. She takes the time to understand you and explain things in details. Awesome bedside manners. I must say I'm so happy to be in the care of a very caring Dr. read more

I went in for a cervical biopsy --- Dr. Baick and her assistant made me feel so safe and were so kind. I was scared going in but I left almost feeling loved--that's how caring they were :) read more

I moved to Pasadena and still continue to see Dr. Baick. She has always been friendly and extremely professional. I appreciate all that she has help me with throughout the years. She is confident and knowledgable, so I trust her with any health issues or concerns that may arise. I know her office can be quite busy as times. That's an indication to me that others feel the same way i do. read more

Can highly recommended Dr Baick. Sure, she takes a slightly business-like approach, but I don't need warm and fuzzy when it comes to women's health issues...I want someone who is competent and can solve my issues. I had a vaginal hysterectomy yesterday, after trying several other options for dealing with heavy bleeding and clotting. I needed no pain relief after surgery, had no bleeding, went home that night, and am fine today. I guess that means she knows what she is doing. She has checked in with me three times since surgery and given me all the information I need. I trust her completely. She is good at what she does. Thanks Dr Baick for giving me my quality of life back. read more

Bad experience. Arrived on time for my appointment, was told that I was supposed to get there 30 mins in advance to fill out paperwork, so I was "late." Dr. Baick refused to see me, said she was on her way out to another appointment. Made no sense considering that was my appointment slot!! Asked me to reschedule, but I definitely won't be going back again. Very disappointed. read more

Dr. Baick has a great bedside manner and takes the time to ask questions and get a sense of challenges that you face. As it turned out I had uterine polyps. Very common. She did surgery as well as a D and C, and removed them. She was even kind enough to do the surgery at a facility in Orange; in spite of the fact that she had moved to an Irvine office location. I appreciate her heart of service for this. I truly do. After having a successful surgery, about 6-7 months later, I wanted to just verify that everything was good and asked for some follow up tests. An "artifact" appeared on some, but not all of the images taken of my uterus. She kept saying that all was fine and because no symptoms appeared, that I shouldn't be concerned about the "artifact" (aka - shadow) And that she had been very thorough. She discouraged me from further testing. In spite of her guidance, I had a 2nd opinion dr. call in for an HSS. This is to verify any potential abnormalities with a 3 dimensional view of the uterus as opposed to an ultrasound, which only confirms the thickness of the lining. Its now 8 months after the surgery and a large sized polyp was confirmed by the HSS, which she called an "unnecessary" test. I called and left a message 6 days ago to let her know of the confirmation of polyp and to schedule a follow up surgery to remove it. (If left, polyps will become cancerous.) I've received no return call. Medicine is referred to as a "Practice" for a reason. It is not without mistakes, outliers and challenges. We are human. As humans, we are diverse. It is my sense that Dr. Baick is a decent dr, providing good care. But when faced with a patient who insisted on verifying results, she chose to discourage verification, rather than to be a patient advocate. What could have been construed as a simple mistake (missing a polyp) now looks like poor ethical behavior. She elected to stay silent and discourage the follow up I asked for, as opposed to making this right. So perhaps for the basic stuff, she is good. If you need someone objective, without ego, and in your corner for a challenging health issue, I would advise you to seek another dr. I would have initially accepted the remaining polyp as an unusual circumstance (i.e. polyps standardly don't grow back in less than 8 months to the size that I currently have on record) or a mistake if she had simply said sorry and attempted to make this right. Surgery is no fun. There was no attempt to make this right. Only silence. As if she hopes I will simply go away. Our society is litigious. I understand her silence. I do not agree with her morals or ethical foundation, which she has shown. I would not recommend Dr. Donna Baick for a challenging health issue. read more

Dr. Baick has been my doctor for 7 (?) years. I think she is great. She goes the extra mile to make sure your needs are addressed. I have had long waits a couple of times, but honestly, who has been to any doctor without a long wait occasionally? And yes, it is annoying when you have left work early and you have to wait, but she delivers babies and performs surgeries and her time isn't always up to her. I've seen her for more than just my annual exams and I walk out of her office feeling a) she's competent b) she actually cares and c) she's easy to talk to and has spent enough time with me. I think the reviewer who gave her one star should have actually seen the doctor. read more

i can't believe there are bad reviews on Dr. Baick! granted, i haven't seen her the last few years because we moved away, i still can't believe she'll get bad ratings! i had her as my OBGYN since i started on the pills till the birth of my first son. and boy, was she amazing when i was pregnant with him. we had a problem with him, my water broke at 20 weeks, and she has been with me through the whole thing! from my first night at the hospital, till i got discharged. then she would call every once in awhile to see if i am ok. and she even referred me to a specialist and they both worked on my case. i was then admitted back because i had zero fluid. she would visit me every once in awhile in my hospital room. i was there for 7 weeks! when she found out i was in labor (at 32 weeks gestation), she was there. and good thing she was the on call dr. when her shift was done, she didn't go home till i was ready to deliver. she was actually napping (from being the on call dr. all night) when i had to be rushed into the OR for an emergency c-section. she was there and she held my hand and i cried to her! she reassured me things will be ok. she delivered my baby and was rushed to the NICU. she came to see me in the recovery room and told me she went to visit my baby and told me some updates. something i couldn't do myself. something my husband couldn't do because he was with my baby. SHE IS AMAZING!!! she takes care of her patients and she cares! read more

Dr Baick is a great Dr and her office in Tustin is really nice and clean....but....I have left many messages for the office staff and Dr Baick and never get calls back. I am in the healthcare industry and I am responsible for handling patients. So, I understand that the staff and the Dr are busy. However, I truly can't understand not calling a patient back when they have a serious medical concern or situation. I had an OBGYN for years and if I called him or his staff with a concern, one of them would call me back within 10 minutes. Every time. He has a MUCH bigger practice than Dr Baick does, and he only has one assistant. But in my 10 years going to him, he never failed to make me feel like I was in the best of hands. He doesn't take my new insurance, so I am now going to Dr Baick. I hope that she and her office read the reviews, because although Dr Baick seems like she's a really good Dr when you're in her office, she and her staff really drop the ball once you've left the building. I had multiple biopsies in her office, I never heard back from the staff on the results after leaving 3 messages. I was bleeding profusely, didn't hear back until after 3 days and 5 messages and by then I had already gone to the emergency room where they were shocked that my OBGYN had never called my back. Now I'm scheduled for surgery with Dr Baick, and I am really scared that I won't get taken care of. I really hope that they get things in order. STAT! read more

I am pregnant with my first baby-and I chose Dr. Baick for convenience, (I work across the street) because she seemed to have good reviews, and she was a woman. :) Those things were all important to me. Unfortunately, I am switching because she is not what I hoped for. She is very cold, short, and just not excited about my pregnancy at all! I go in all excited, and she comes in like I'm the millionth person she has seen. I think she is just burned out and tired. I get that, I'm a nurse. But, I also know how to put on a happy face and be excited for my patients when something happy is going on. I really never know what to expect at my appointments, and she always does the bare minimum. She couldn't even tell me my baby's heart rate which she brushed off because she forgot her watch. So go get one??? I really wanted to know! She really just doesn't care, and she made both my husband and I very sad and disappointed at all 3 of my appointments ( I did give her a chance to get better). Now the hard part is finding someone better! Her office staff wasn't the nicest either, they were pretty down to business, no congratulations or smiles, just cold. I feel like an office of an OB should have a warm and positive atmosphere. I didn't have any issues with wait times, and my appointments were always on time. So that was a definite pro. read more
