"This is utterly ridiculous about their appointment rule. Don't pick a Doctor that don't care about the patient and lift situation because all this tell me that the office only MONEY and NO CARE About the Patient. Find another Rheumatologhy doctor that care about you "

"Extremely unprofessional. Julie Baak, Dr.’s wife, is rude and arrogant. She flat out told me that they don’t have the time to mess with free drugs and lack of insurance when I asked them to fill out one page of a patient assistance application for getting Simponi Aria for my RA. My insurance doesn’t cover specialty drugs. She/they don’t care about their patients. It’s all about money. You will see Dr. Baak on the first visit only. After the initial visit you see NP or PA. Diagnosis is mostly done by visual, no imaging done to follow progress of deterioration of joints. No discussion on treatment or future goals. Every visit is mostly conversation of the current drugs you’re on and if you need more. When I checked with the office on the status of the one page of the application I needed, after 6 weeks from the time I requested it, I got an email from Julie saying that they were dropping me as a patient. Of course I was absolutely shocked but soon learned that it is a common practice ...
for them. I know of at least two instances where patients were “dropped “ for balances on their account under $10.00. If I could give negative stars I would. "

"Scheduling was easy. Nurses friendly and helpful. Dr. Baak-lots of red flags! Dr. Clearly did not review my medical history, nor did he have any interest in learning about my past medical history that potentially correlated to reason for visit. He discouraged me from seeing a neurologist after an abnormal brain MRI and increased neurological symptoms. He is very touching/ feely. Take how you will. I had I hopes for this Dr and left disappointed."

"The Best! You will get help fast with his office resources! Tried other Doctors, Came back! Staff is amazing and always so helpful! "

"Awful. Diagnosed me with something I didn’t even have before seeing my bloodwork. Openly insulted me and pushed an infusion that I didn’t want by claiming my insurance company would not pay for a better drug. My insurance company is Tri-Care. My husband, whom he also insulted, is currently serving our country in Afghanistan. Unacceptable. "

"Fantastic first new patient appointment. Makes sense to me now that the rash on my legs was my body telling me my arthritis was flaring. Happy to be starting medicine to make me feel better."

"Dr. Baak was referred to me by two of the ladies in my book club. I feel so well taken care of by him and his fun staff. These ladies work well together and are cute and fun. Never seen a medical office like this before. It is a pleasure to go to his office for my infusion treatments. Thank you Dr.Baak"
