Patient Reviews

  • "I met Dr. Baez during one of the most difficult periods of my life, when I was dealing with intense pain that brought on both emotional distress and a great deal of anxiety. Meeting such a deeply compassionate, insightful, and skilled doctor—who is also an extraordinary human being—couldn’t have come at a better time. He has a rare ability to see what others (and you) might miss, in order to help you get better. I feel incredibly fortunate and so much stronger now, and I truly can’t imagine where I’d be without his support and expertise. Thank you, Dr. Baez!"
