Dr. Bauman has been treating me for the past few years. But my insurance cancelled his contract, and my upcoming appointment for treatment was subsequently cancelled by his staff. They will not accept me as an out-of-network patient, despite the fact that I am an established patient, and my plan is a Passive PPO that allows me to use out-of-network providers at in-network copays. They say they are hopeful the doctor can get reinstated with my insurance, but in the meantime, it looks like I just have to wait, or seek treatment elsewhere.
Overall Rating: 5.0 2019-02-01 
Dr. Baumann is very professional and his staff is very well trained by him.  He is a personable doctor who knows the inner workings of the eye . He was able to treat an eye hemorrage and restore my sight from almost nothing in one to to 25. so now i see 20/25.  Id say that is remarkable!
