Arrogant with a capital A! Pompous with a capital P. Try to relax when you call the office. My average on hold has been 15-20 minutes, then prompted to leave a message.

On first visit, he diagnosed me with COPD without even examining me or reading the referral from my cardiologist. He insisted I don't have asthma without doing the definitive test. He also said that I do not have a growth on my lung which multiple doctors in 3 states have agreed I have backed up by radiology studies.

For the several years since being diagnosed with Severe CNS Sleep Apnea, Dr. Bacon first supported me through a difficult adjustment to the changes in my life required. Ever since 2014, he has been unfailingly kind, professional, alert to problems, etc. Simply a good Doctor! I would enthusiastically recommend Dr. Bacon to anyone needing care in his Specialty.

Dr. Bacon is a rare person: a knowledgeable professional who is both humble AND a good listener. I am a trained listener myself having earned an MSW as a clinical social worker. Dr. Bacon sincerely asked me, "What makes you think that?" regarding my working hypothesis of my my condition and symptoms. He was consciously treating me as a co-equal in our pursuit of better health for me. I am completely impressed.

I've been treated very well by Dr. Bacon and his staff. Dr. Bacon takes the time to listen to and address your concerns thoroughly. He's definitely not a 7 minute insurance doctor. The staff is very courteous and has been very cooperative in helping me reschedule appointments when I've had to miss due to illness and weather. I highly recommend Dr. Bacon.
