Patient Reviews
Mar 17, 2019
Dr. Bax has done at least 4 surgeries on mye for different issues (one ER after ambulance transport, 2 scheduled & 1 in hospital after a life flight transport) . I am very satisfied with him as a highly capable surgeon, he has always answered my questions & his staff is fair to good with return calls(busy I am sure) & if I ever felt I needed more time for him to explain he always did so. He saved my life on the ER transports & I strongly recommend him.
