“Incredibly friendly staff that made my appointment quick and easy! Would highly recommend Dr. Baer and this practice.”
Miranda W.March 16, 2026
“In for skin cancer screening. Very thorough and explained everything she was doing. Not judgemental at all.
Only downside was the wait time once in the exam room was over 30 minutes. Hopefully this was an exception and not normal. I will definitely return. ”
