She seemed to care about my strange case. Let me know what tests they needed to do and explained results and tried different therapudics(out of the box) to see if they could possibly work. She reached out to colleagues to discuss my case, to gather other opinions and options of treatment.I can message her anytime and gets back with me in a timely manner.

Her knowledge is appreciated but Dr Bauman seems to over share the negative-everything that can go wrong like the commercials that give you every listed side effect of a medication. I may be looking for a new doctor.

Dr Baumann is very knowledgeable and explains everything clearly. She is extremely good dealing with complex cases and treating them successfully. I had esophageal issues that my prior gastroenterologist was unable to fix, but Dr Baumann came to the rescue, and now I’m feeling so much better. I highly recommend Dr Baumann and am happy to have found her.

I would most certainly recommend Dr. Alexandra Baumann to family members or friends who needed a Gastroenterologist. She was professional and thorough in her exam and questions. I came away with a plan for my next steps, additional physician referrals to investigate possible additional health issues, a prescription to help my condition and follow up instructions with the doctor. I was very happy with the outcome of my appointment with Dr. Baumann.
