When I visit, everyone is always kind and the process is easy. On my last visit, Robin and I had some fun predicting my height/weight and blood pressure. Series is tied at 1 to 1. Shared some good laughs. Dr. Baltes is a low key guy with a great demeanor and lots of knowledge.

Does not listen to you when you speak. Needs to give you more time in office.

Cut me off while explaining my symptoms. Never made eye contact with me, and during follow up told me "I would just have to deal with it"

Saw Dr. Baltes a few times for minor medical problems, but decided to find someone else because: He was always in a rush and in one occasion he forgot to sign a script, and in a second case he forgot to write the script altogether. In both cases his MA took care of the scripts. He hardly ever had any eye contact, or listened carefully to what I had to say. A physician should be very interactive and has to actually engage the patient and take time to diagnose properly and outline the proper remedy, but he was always in a rush to leave the room! I do not recommend him to anyone.

When I went to see him for a physical and weight loss suggestions he said: "Eat less." Wow, ya think?!? When my husband went to see him about quitting smoking, he said, "You've been smoking all your life, you're going to do what you're going to do." THANKS! When I called 2 days after persistent cough + asthma, he said to take Mucinex OTC cough syrup. GOING TO GET A NEW DR. ASAP -- DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!

I find him to be punctual and cordial. I sometimes come away feeling that a thorough enough job hasn't been done but I've only dealt with minor medical issues. Nothing life threatening.
