Primary Care Doctors - Irmo, SC

"Gretchen is a thorough clinician and patiently answered all of my questions. Greatly appreciated. "

"Dr. Baker was responsive immediately to my urgent need for his help. I was able to start treatment the same day & grateful for that. He is efficient & caring with pleasant & smiling cooperative demeanor. His staff is equally pleasant & helpful, relaying messages promtly. I am thankful to have chosen this physician for my husband & me."

"My first (and last) visit with this physician. His bedside manner is absolutely horrifying. "Bend over for a stool sample" (no pleases, no thank-yous) and when he's done he NEVER says "ok I'm done now." He'd rather let you guess as you stay bent over. And that was nothing. When the patient is down to just briefs, he says "you can get dressed now" and rushes out of the room, while flinging the door as wide open as possible. Geez. How much more humiliating can a so-called professional experience be? Insult to injury: his staff charged me $690 for a procedure that my health insurance only charges $40 for. Guess what. That was Feb 17. They still have the extra $650, and I'm pretty sure I'll never see it again. Take my advice: no matter how "thorough" a Dr is? If he has the bedside manner of Frankenstein, is it worth it? The answer is No. Next time I'll just slit my own throat. It would be a MUCH more pleasant experience than going back to Guram Senior. "
