Before seeing Chris, I used to dread docgor appointments because I knew someof my concerns were going to be ignored or not raken seriously. Chris really listens to you and cares about your quality of life. Appointments with him feellike you are going to see a friend who also happens to be your doctor. It is nice knowing that if I have a concern that doesnt necessarily require an in person appointment, I can always get a response on mychart fairly quickly.

01/29/2024

Chris and Angie never rush you. Answer all questions so you understand them. They treat you with respect.

Reducing the amount of pills I have to take. Checking labs never checked before. And putting me first instead of medicines thats what a Dr should do

12/22/2023

Dr Baran is the best. He listens to all we have to say and really cares about my health issues He is so caring. Never had a care physician that cares about us like him.

12/21/2023

Nothing more to say other than I got lucky to find a doctor who listens . Every doctor I鈥檝e been to in the past wants to get you in and out as quickly as possible and dismisses every concern. He is different than most of the other doctors I have seen in the past . Not having a good doctor is the reason I am only seen by a doctor every few years . I actually feel comfortable enough to be seen more often .

12/20/2023

03/10/2022

In my 61 years, I've rarely seen the level of dedication shown by Chris Baran. He speaks to me with respect, patience and empathy.

If I have a concern or problem between visits, using MY Chart his response is very timely.

11/22/2021

The doctor is great. However the staff at use some sensitivity training and diversity training.

11/18/2021

On this visit time, Dr Baran was particularly sensitive to my feelings, made sure to be extra gentle, very reinforcing about positive thingsjust even more so than normal. It was little things, his proximity, he would come close to show concern, then back away, then come back close to show concern, it was so very subtle, but very comforting, I just knew it was because he knew what had been going on with me, the illness, my weight loss, etcI felt listened to, understood, and given personalized advice that was specific and heartfelt. What he would tell his mother, sister or wife. I didn't feel like, just another patient or number, and never have. I feel like he is this way with all his patients - or tries to be.

11/18/2021
