Dr Bax was the best doctor that I've ever had other than the doctor that saved my legs after the boating accident 38 years ago.Doctor Bax was absolutely a Superman to me and if I could have a different primary physician and I'm not looking for a new one but I'm just saying I would want Dr Bax too be my primary physician don't have enough good words to say about him

Dr Bax was top shelf. An excellent caring professional. Easy to talk to, and he spoke frankly and was a good listener.

Dr. Bax is a phenomenal physician, his MA is equally thorough, patient, knowledgeable, and efficient, and the front desk staff are kind and considerate. A dynamite combination of a medical team.
