Very professional and took the time to address all my questions/concerns
Dr. Baruch is fantastic and communicates really well
Seems very competent, business-like, to the point. Sat behind computer the entire time and worked inputting instructions and notes. Felt impersonal as she did not try to get to know me at all even though this was my initial visit with this new provider who is going to be my PCP.
She doesn't make me feel like she is in a hurry. She listens and makes me feel at ease.
Both Carla and Dr. Baruch were professional, yet friendly. Good questions were asked by them and by me....all with good answers. This was my first timing meeting Dr. Baruch, and I thought the visit went very well

Dr Baruch is such a great physician, a good combination of caring and expertise.
Professional, good natured, efficient, thoughtful - what more could I ask for?
Listened to my speech, voice effort, my history of laryngitis several times, my singing history, and demands of my job to speak long hours 4-5 days a week. The use of the nasal probe camera to look at my vocal cords was effortless and skillfully done. I was able to see the video and watch my vocal cords move as I spoke. I could understand the fatigue happening due to my accessory muscles overuse and saw the thickness on on side of my vocal cord. This greatly helped me understand why speech therapy was indicated to retrain my voice effort and muscles which has created fatigue, hoarseness, and neck discomfort over the past 18 months. I was relieved to know I did not have any mass on my vocal cords.
Knowledgeable, kind, and thorough
Personable, thorough, caring,
