Very professional staff

I have been seeing Dr. Ballinger for about 10 years or so and I have always been pleased with his treatment of my RA. He is very thoughtful when you ask him a question, which I appreciate.

Would wait all day, he is a good listener and takes time to help you. Not run you out of office without helping.

I've been a patient of Dr. Baldinger's for 20+ years. He's thorough and prescribed the right medicine for my RA.

Dr baldinger listened to me and spent a good amount of time with me every visit. He was sending me for labs every few weeks to monitor my condition and sending me my meds for it. He was never rude. He isn't God. I have to do my part and pray for the best outcome with his guidance. His appointments do run late, but it was not hours late or nothing i couldnt handle.They even gave me later appointments on the same day when i was running late a few times and i was greatful for that. There are not many rheumatologists in SW Florida area which is sad, And Dr. Baldinger is one of the best in my opinion.

Dr. B is the best, i have been seeing him for many years

I have going to Dr. Baldinger for well over 13 years now. He is a caring person that is very interested in your situation when he is with you! He does not like being interrupted when he is with me and I totally trust him. Thank You Sir.

Worth the drive to Cleveland Clinic Florida east coast for Rheumatology. This man is enormously overworked, with staff that is indifferent at best. He's polite (not staff) but has no time for anything but treating the worst of cases.

I am doing you a great favor. Find another doctor. He will keep you waiting for hours and hours and then he will spend with you 5 minutes. Absolutely worthless. He must be on salary, does not get paid by how many patients a day he saw.

Dr. Baldinger does not deal with individual's with severe disabilities. Very disappointing on many levels. Office was very disorganized and waited over two hours in waiting room to be told that he was backed up for at least another 2 hours. Was told we could call and reschedule. Rescheduled appointment and went only to find that the Dr. was not even in on that day. Dr. Baldinger does not deal with individual's with severe disabilities. Very disappointing on many levels.

I had to wait awhile. Once in there I was relaxed and he good hopefully I will like him.

He is one of my favorite Doctor's. I have several autoimmune illness's. I will wait on a doctor who listens to his patient's. Highly recommend.

Never addressed my original condition. Wasted my time.

I waited over an hour to be seen only to be told the lab didn't do half of my tests. I had 13 viles of blood taken a week and half before my appointment date. How do you not check that all ordered tests were available before you come in for appointment!! I walked out! Don't waste your time seeing this practice!!!

Worst ever. I mean it. Was told he was running 30 minutes to an hour late. I wasnt happy since I had my 2 year old daughter with me. But I said "ok" because I desperately need a rheumatologist. After an hour and a half the dr hadnt even seen the lady ahead of me yet and was told it could be awhile longer before I'd be seen. My apt was at 1p. It was then 3p. My daughter was fussy, I was hungry and needed the potty.. I asked to reschedule. Since the lovely snowbirds took all the available appointments til mifmd FEBRUARY! Now I'm without a doctor, without my RA and lupus meds.. I hate this doctor who seems to think he can waste people's time. I would've been charged a no show fee if I'd done the same to them.

I've only had amazing experiences with Dr. Baldinger. In fact he was the first dr that got my pain. He put me on a path to getting my life back. He listened to every question that I or my wife had. Yes, he does take extra time with patients but isn't this a valuable skill? caring? empathy? This is one amazing man!

Do not trust this doctor or anything they tell you in his office. Communication is horrible. The doctor’s bedside manner sucks. I wouldn’t take a dog her

Dr. Baldinger is always very nice to me when I go takes his time answers all my questions and concerns my dr for over 10 years I recommend him greatly.. the staff can be iffy but what can u do.. awesome Dr .B

The whole process from making the appointment onward was very efficient and professional. I appreciate a doctor who is to the point and doesn’t try to make small talk.

He is rude and no bed side manners at all. Looking for a new doc. Gave him 3 tries but when he stands at the door and offers nothing it’s time to move on!

After running through every quack rheumatologist in SWFL, Dr. Baldinger is a breath of fresh air.

I was a long time patient of Dr B's when the practice was known as IMA. Saw him in Cape Coral, later at Metro office. From day one, he corrected a prior doc's misdiagnosis and got me started on the pathway to dealing with 2 long term illnesses. He was always professional and cared how I fared in day to day life. Unfortunately, I had to transfer to a practice that specializes in pain management due to the amounts and types of pain meds necessary for my treatment. Current docs concur with Dr. Baldinger's treatment plan. I recommend Dr Baldinger w/o hesitation!

I feel very Satisfied with his service, I was feeling very bad and had a lot of pain in my body. After I went to see him i feel fine and he made a huge change in my life, I will recommend him to anyone that needs to be treated. Very professional and willing to help you to feel much better.

Won't listen to ya.

This guy should go back to school. He gives horrible treatment. He's rude and does nothing useful. He writes prescriptions that's it. I would never recommend this quack to anyone.

To be brief... The most rude, unprofessional ,irresponsible and incompetent Doctor that I have ever experienced. The entire office is disorganized ,rude and incompetent! This was my first and last visit with this doctor and facility. Please don't waste your time sitting for over an hour in his dirty office.

I've been coming here a few years. After my first apt almost didnt come back because I waited. While and felt like I paid my copay and left with no new information. But to be fair I was a new patient, he didnt have my blood work up from my previous doctor so he had nothing to go on. He takes his time with patients, listens to the problems, listens to improvements and isnt quick to shove medication down your throat. I've been dealing with this since I'm 13 I'm over medication...one side effect after the next. I truly appreciate Dr. Baldinger ede ho is affording me time to focus on nutrition before sitting down for that serious talk on medication changes. He is willing to allow a patient to have a say in treatment and willing to entertain what you bring as a patient. For me it was going plant based, yoga, acupuncture, boxing. But bottom line, this dr earned my respect because other rheumatologists I "fired" because they knowingly were willing to give me medication that have extremely harmful/ deadly interactions.

I saw Dr. Baldinger when I was under HMO and referred by my primary care doctor. He changed my life, in that no one listens to Fibromyalgia patients and are downright afraid of what they don’t understand. He heard me. I was beaten down and ready to give up because I couldn’t work anymore and couldn’t function properly. He listened and with that one visit I have been going strong for 16 years, working and stronger than I had ever been. Now I am in trouble again, as sometime happens with this misunderstood condition. He said I hadn’t seen him in so long he was going to charge me for more than 1 visit? I know he can’t, but why did he say that? I will probably go back and see what he will recommend today. I am so grateful for the day I saw this man who changed my life for the better so many years ago. Fibromyalgia is like that. It’s very unpredictable, and listening to the patient is the only way to help them, I believe. I saw Dr. Baldinger when I was under HMO and referred by my primary care doctor.

I have had a couple appointments with Dr Baldinger and found his level attention to detail reassuring. He is quiet man but willing to spend as much time with you as needed to explain everything. Yes, his schedule runs late but it is because he prioritizes individual patient interests.

He will take time to liaten to you

You may have to wait a little But he spends the time with you

He is the Doctor who changed my life and made it worth living for the last 17 years. I want to go back now, and I hope he is in my Network. I do not understand the ratings shown because he surely listed well to me!

Referred by my IMA PC Doctor. Took X-Rays of hands, diagnosed as osteoarthritis. Told me nothing he could do. No suggestions, no solution. Lousy communicator - waste of time.

Dr Baldinger forgot why he became a dr. Hes rude , doesnt litsen ,he doesnt care We stopped going to him. its sad that u cant find good Dr"s

Went to this guy a while back and the experience was pointless. Like others, I was referred by another doctor and this guy spent all of five minutes (and that is being generous) to tell me I was fine by wiggling my fingers and ignoring my blood test results...still in daily pain....

Well,they where right. After a very difficult experience just to get an appointment due to their end not keeping up with numerous faxes from my doctor's office. On the day of the appt .to arrive 1/2 early , as told when I booked the appt, that there is a waiting time of OVER AN HOUR is ludicrous.

Absolutely the worst doctors office ever!! My first appt I waited an hour and a half to even be taken into a room. Once in the room I waited 20 more minutes before walking out. Unfortunately there are not a lot of rheumatologist in my area.

Don't ever go there. Worse doctor ever. He doesn't listen or even ask any questions about your conditions. He give me two minutes of his time on my visit. give me pain medicine and want me go back in two weeks. I will give him no star if I can.

I read the reviews and I don't think that people understand a lot about Doctors today. I saw him for several times, he did listen to me and he sent me a lot of testing available, and he did what the medicine school teach him. He sent me some therapy and some pain medicine. Medicine don't cure! today is just to reduce some pain.

Dr. Baldinger spent a lot of time with me and answered all my questions. He is the first dr I've dealt with in years that actually cared about my condition and offered solutions. You might have to wait to see him but he will take time with you.

Dr Baldinger is a very patient doctor who listens and helps every way he can

My doctor referred me to Dr. Ballinger, but after reading the reviews I was terrified to make an appointment. After getting sick, I had no choice but to make the appt. I am so glad I did HE is a WONDERFUL DR. He Listened to me, got the medication right the first time. I am very greatful for DR. Ballinger. My pain is so much better.

I saw this doctor today for the first time and I am only going back to get my results and then take them to another doctor to review. I was in his office for 2 HOURS and only spent a total of 20 minutes with him. His staff was super rude and unfriendly and the doctor acted like he had no clue why he was seeing me. My records were sent by my referring physician yet he didn't even bother to review them, said they wereven ever sent. I wouldn't recommend this place much less trust him.

My husband was referred to Dr. Baldinger for ongoing back pain with a history of ulcerative colitis. The doctor ordered an MRI. The office stated that he needs to come in for results. I got the results from med records. There was an abnormality. When we went to follow up he said it all looks fine. I said what about this on his spinal cord? He said I don't even have that MRI result here. I said well you ordered it. He said I don't know, it's not inflammatory though. Dangerous!!!

He is the first Doctor Who found my vitamin D deficiency, and ran the test to find other problems that I was experiencing. Without him I would still be struggling he is the best doctor as far as rheumatologist that I have ever known and highly regard. You can trust him and he does extra research to be sure he is treating you correctly. His staff is also very friendly and helpful

He is rude, arrogant and has zero bedside manners, acts as the he is a God and patients are just a nuisance that he despises dealing with, will never go back, worst doctor I ever met.

Don't waste your time yes I don't no is his fav word spends no time at al with you to help you understand the problem it takes 6 months o get in to another dr. And he no's that Florida needs more good dr in this field that no what they are doing

Worse Dr ever. His best answer is I don't know. He dosent have knowledge on conditions and his nurse is not nice at all. Been going there a few years and I have been in so much pain and even with high blood work levels him and nurse don't listen or care. I can't believe I have wasted this much time and money with this doctor who knows nothing and doesn't really care or listen to patience.

I saw Dr Baldinger in 2014. He walked into the room and demanded to know why I was there because nothing was wrong with me. Despite this initial observation he took a second to notice something was obviously wrong with me as I was covered in rashes and in pain. He prescribed me with pain medication I then had a severe allergyto. After that he has his nurse throw me out of the clinic indicating there was nothing wrong with me. I have now been diagnosed with EDS, and fibromyalgia.
