Please exercise extreme caution when interacting w/ Dr. Baumgaertel…read more You know that old adage, "To a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail"? Dr. B runs the site Menopause Menu, which is as hackneyed as it sounds. For two years, I reported extreme and worsening symptoms and over the course of several appointments, she dismissed each symptom as menopause. No, you hack, it was Stage 3 cancer. She never even sent me to a specialist. Plus, echoing others, she was never, ever on time.

This doc is overextended. I've since moved on to an excellent internist at Polyclnic. Dr. B was too…read morebusy for me, ordered a lot of unnecessary chest films when I had a sore throat, and waited several days to answer my urgent question on My Chart when I had been diagnosed with colon cancer. At the time she was also running a weight loss program and hosting lectures by other Polyclinic physicians. All this when I was paying a monthly fee for "concierge service." I cannot recommend this physician if she is still this busy with non-primary patient care activities.

Got an appointment far out in the future…read more Did a long set of testing with his assistant. Diagnosis was totally wrong and useless. Nothing definitive with referral to another doctor that does not even believe in the probable disorder. Over charged but did submit the claim to insurance.

Dr Bill as I call him is seeing me as a psychologist and ive been very impressed with him even…read morethough counseling was not the primary reason I went to see him he's also a neuropsychologist and he's in charge of assessing cognition in people with Parkinson's and before they have a surgery called DBS he evaluates patients neuropsychology including executive functioning to determine thatyou that you are the right candidate for it. I' ve known him for10 years 11 years now and I find currently working on some family and quality of life issues which are very personal to me and I find I'm getting stronger every day He has been in my head more than anyone in this lifetime and I feel safe to lay it All out there for us to look at together it has Been terrifying for me but bill keeps his professional wi wits about him and this is going to be slow but think fruitful trip he has a nice really sweet dog named Bohdi who is so empathic that he steps up when things get emotional. And then there are dr bills clinical skills that Always seem to be right on So I love this doctor psychologist and he's help me immensely so far and I hope that he doesn't go away before i finish this and I have him to thank for being there during a especially difficult time. He also takes Medicare which I find is rare now I need to find a psychiatrist who can rearrange and tweak my medications. I know as long as bill is around he won't let me fall.. at least not too far .

After spending 4-5 months in PT and not able to solve my hip problem. I was referred to Dr. Steven…read moreAnderson for diagnostic testing. I was able to book an appointment within a week, which was very convenient. The front desk is very friendly, prompt, and polite. To a point where I felt service I was receiving was noticeably high quality. They also require that all patients wear a mask during these times, which I appreciated. The place is not very big, so every time I went, I did not have to worry about being close to others and did not notice any other patients waiting. After discussing with Dr. Anderson about what my issues were, he took the time to explain to me what the potential issues could me, which I really appreciated. They ran some X-rays on the spot, and after a few minutes, Dr. Anderson took me to his computer where we went over his thought process of what I had. He laid out 3 options for me without being pushy about any. I decided to go with an MRI next (since my bones seemed fine). When I came for my follow-up appointment, Dr. Anderson showed me the MRI on his computer and walked me through his thought process of what he saw. He laid out the options of either more PT or speaking to a surgeon. We talked it through and I've decided to now go see a surgeon since PT wasn't working. He made a point to refer me to someone who he felt wasn't going to push surgery on me and look all of the information before making a decision, which I appreciated. Overall, I really recommend this place! I feel that I received high quality service and would definitely return if I have any other issues.

I had a very bizarre experience with this office. I called to make an appointment for my daughter…read moreas she was having hip and back pain, and I was concerned they were connected. I was told "He does not diagnose things comprehensively like that. You have to make an appointment for one body part at a time." That seemed odd, but his online profile sounded so wonderful that I decided to continue. Long story short, this office views things very very rigidly and compartmentalized. The receptionist seems to have oppositional defiant disorder and that's a reflection on the person who hired her, to me. In fact, she verbally chastised me, at length, not once, but twice, for trying to follow the city's COVID-19 restrictions to keep other patients safe when my daughter was sick. Apparently it was an inconvenience for her. That attitude really concerned me as I want a doctor who is looking out for everyone's best interest, not only their own interests. I never did get a helpful diagnosis in the end. I am sure she will fight this review, too. LOL.

If you have or had thyroid cancer, Dr. Davies is NOT an endocrinologist to see. He was not tracking…read moremy health, my medication or labs and his office lost one of my blood labs. I felt off on my dose. He said my blood labs were fine. See you in a year. I pushed back on him. He forgot I had thyroid cancer and I had to remind him. He then realized they were way off and my medicine needed to be increased! Why should I have to remind my endocrinologist about my existing condition???? Dr. Davies actually wrote me three prescriptions in two weeks to improve my TSH levels. First he wrote it for the wrong brand and then he realized he wrote it for too high of a dosage increase. (My pharmacy had to argue with the insurance company to get it filled correctly in such a short period of time. They had to explain it was physician error.) The most disturbing thing was that I learned that he was NOT following the thyroid cancer guidelines for TSH maintenance for thyroid cancer patients- which were updated in 2009. He was keeping me too low- which research shows causes cardio issues and bone loss. I had the guidelines sent to Dr. Davies by the thyca association.to hopefully make him more educated for the care of other patients. So if you have him for thyroid cancer (and you don't want to RUN from his care) - I suggest you educate yourself on the thyca guidelines at thyca.org and track your own labs! I have found a new physician at the polyclinic and I am much happier. My dose of Synthroid makes me feel much better; the physicians are more educated, personable and they have a more buttoned up then his office! They are highly responsive and communicate with my primary care doctor.

Avoid her- avoid Polyclinic in general-

At first she seemed more like a nutritionist coach. She put me on a diet much like a Whole 30, and then we got into all of my work. Her holistic approach is about physical and mental health. I've benefited greatly from her advice to cut out processed foods and alcohol. I liked the way she would give me a tool at each session and help me such as creating lists of various techniques to use in my day to help cope with some difficult stress. Highly recommended if you're a CEO, entrepreneur, business guy etc. She understands and has the tips and tricks to help with the whole ball of wax from personal relationships, family, to the way we treat employees and partners.
