I trust Dr. Bacon with my life. I know he is knowledgeable about my disease and has given me excellent care over the past 7 years. Sometimes you have to get him to slow down and have him hear you say you need to talk, then he slows his pace. Sometimes he is quick, as all doctors are but if you say you need time he gives it. I never plan on changing rheumatologists unless I have no other choice. The infusion room staff is amazing as well as the rest of the office staff. I love my doctor and my nurses there

My daughter just saw him, and I wasn’t there but what he said to her was very unprofessional and rude. He should differently take more time with his patients and think about his comments and the effects they have. Also waiting a month for results of any kind is just plan lazy ness from this office/dr. Not so happy mother.

He put me on meds when I saw him 1st time that has made me legally blind in one eye. He was supposed to tell me to have my eyes check before starting meds and every 3 myths, he told my friend who use to see him. Last time I saw him I'm blind in my eye because of meds and you didn't warn me. As he left the room he said hopefully you won't lose the other!!! No l'm sorry or anything. Also hadn't done blood on me in a while. Thank you.

Dr. Bacon breezed into my exam room dressed for a Saturday afternoon trip to Home Depot. His discussion of my health concerns and my osteoporosis were equally casual. He recommended a brand name injectable osteoporosis medication and told me to schedule the injection with his assistant. Out he went. The assistant told me about side effects, which he never mentioned and she couldn't answer my resultant questitons. I sought heathcate elsewhere.

I had the worst experience of my life with this doctor. He doesn't listen, and is very dismissive, just like the other reviews say. I spent the worst Christmas holiday of my life because I told him that the medication he prescribe for me was not good and I couldn't take it. He insisted and I had a very bad reaction over the Christmas holiday and of course his office was completely nonresponsive. Also, kept looking at my test results and says that I am being undertreated, but doesn't fix it.

Was originally a patient of his associate but had to see him a handful of times. Would not recommend that you ever see this man! Spent minimal time addressing issues and results,dismissed my diagnosis given to me by his associate and other physicians! Completely unprofessional just grins at you with his creepy dismissing demeanor . It is sad that this town doesn't have more insurance backed options people are stuck here with no choice for better care ! One star is really too generous.

He is a great doctor. He was quick in getting me back on a treatment plan after I moved from Southern California. I am doing so good now. It's easy to get in to see him and his staff is very nice and helpful. I would recommend him to anyone.

Worst doctor I have ever seen or heard about in my entire medical career. I am shocked that he would ever be interested in patient care seeings he spends maybe 4 minutes with you per visit. I've tried to explain my symptoms, my lab results and physical findings with him and have been repeatedly brushed away. Told it's fine or that's okay. I have since acquired my medical records from his office and have found several discrepancies. I am convinced Dr Bacon should no longer practice.

I was referred to Dr.Bacon by my PMD. I called to make a new patient appointment three times. All three times I left a message for Diane (the new patient coordinator) and never once got a call back to schedule an appointment. Horrible customer service. Dr.Bacon may be a terrific doctor however, if I'm having this much trouble just getting in touch with someone to make an appointment I can't imagine how hard it would be if I really needed to get in touch with this provider.

Waiting for over an hour to see the doc is a big problem for me. I find it very disrespectful, not to mention inconvenient.
