- TGTina GuthrieJan 6, 20231.0If all possible try and find a different place. I was referred to Dr Bauhman back in August. I finally got a return call from his staff at the end of August. I went for my appointment August 26th and was in the office 3 and half hours. Dr Bauhmans staff are kind but very unorganized. Dr Bauhmans bedside manner definitely needs work. I was diagnosed with a membrane pucker is the short version for it. It's where I see everything out of that eye distorted (wavy). I finally got scheduled for surgery to repair it December 8th. Yes December 8th! I ended up with a cough about 2 weeks before that date. Finishing up antibiotics on the 6th and feeling fine. They decided to cancel that surgery and told me to call the following week. My deductible and oop met on my insurance so I really needed in asap. I called Thursday twice and was told I would get a call back. I called the next day, Friday with still no call back. I called the following Monday twice and still no call back! By Tuesday I'm very upset with no call back to reschedule this surgery! Tuesday afternoon I found a new Dr that got me in that Wednesday afternoon and scheduled my appointment on December 20th and did an amazing job. So if you are needing in for issues I recommend to go elsewhere! I have never in my lifetime seen such an unorganized office that will not return your calls. And here it is January 6th and they still have not called me!! But it all worked out for the best with my new Dr and his wonderful staff! Good Luck!

- KSK StalJun 14, 20225.0Dr. Bauman is very thorough and knowledgeable! He's been my Specialist for a few years now and my eye health has improved drastically since under his care. He and his staff staff are very professional and treat you with compassion and care! They go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable throughout each step of your examination! They are the Best!!
- SDshalynda daigleOct 23, 20171.03 hours being shuffled from waiting room to waiting room for 4 mins with the actual doctor. Literally, 4 mins. I spent 11 mins with a nurse who took my info and dialated my eyes and then sat for 2 and a half hours waiting for the doctor. Not ok. Waste of time.
