"There's no doubt about Dr. Baskind's likability. He sure knows how to "handle" parents. Sure, sometimes new parents have a lot of pesky concerns. However in our experience Dr. Baskind under-reacted and our son was not diagnosed or treated accurately. We tried several times to draw his attention to the problem, each time we were brushed off. If you are a smart, insightful parent who does not over report problems you and your child deserve someone who takes your concerns seriously and responds appropriately. Dr. Baskind is amusing only if there is nothing really wrong. It is very tempting to allow yourself to be coddled into a false sense of security. Don't. At least get a second opinion outside his jocular practice or you may end up with terrible regrets."

Data Transparency and Trust: Understanding WebMD Doctor Listings and Reviews

We know that finding the right doctor or provider is important to your health. That’s why we want to ensure you have confidence in the provider profiles and listings you see on WebMD Care. Our provider data is sourced from the physicians themselves as well as publicly available databases. Any doctor or provider who claims their profile by verifying themselves can update their information and provide additional data on their specialties, education, accepted insurances, conditions they treat, and procedures they perform.

All the physician and provider reviews on WebMD Care are provided by users just like you. Knowing these reviews provide insight into how other patients feel about a doctor, we maintain internal policies and protocols to ensure the quality and accuracy of all reviews. Providers are not able to remove or modify reviews on their own. Reviews can only be removed after an internal review by our customer service team.

We value your input and encourage you to reach out to our support team if you encounter any issues.
