Very rude, condescending and ego maniacal. I got my coat and left after she suggested I don’t care about my health. Believe the other bad reviews and stay far away.

Absolutely horrible. She won’t actually help you for what you are needing treatment for. Famous to refer you somewhere else and waste your time and money. Very unprofessional and unpleasant.

Good with "check the box" medicine meaning making sure you are doing your routine tests and exams. Terrible if things are out of the norm. Doesn't have good recommendations and seems reluctant to recommend specialists. After a hospital stay where some blood tests were out of range and I was referred to her for follow-up, she refused to help - I had no where to go because it was the hospitalist who gave that recommendation. Again, if you're looking for a check the box doctor - she's it.

Poor phone service. They are understaffed so you wait a long time for someone to answer. Currently the office is only open Friday mornings which is making me deal with Urgent Care doctors. I need a referral but can't reach anyone. I've only been to the center a few times and each time I got a PA who didn't know squat. Fortunately I am getting off the HMO marry go round and hope to find a good Dr who actually sees their patients and is available during the week when needed.

She was attentive and answered all my questions. She was recommended highly by my other doctors. I question some of the negative experiences others seem to have had - perhaps valid for them but maybe they were being difficult? In my opinion she is a good doctor.

By far the absolute WORST, most CRUEL doctor I have EVER seen in 44 years. I fired her the same day she fired me after an all-out argument in her office, calling me a liar for not taking my medication as prescribed. My husband was there and couldn't believe her disrespectful, ego-maniacal behavior either. My first appt after moving to AZ I asked her for a referral to an endocrinologist as, in 6 years, they weren't able to keep my thyroid levels steady. She was HIGHLY offended by my request and said she was quite capable of m... read more

I've been going to Dr. Bader for many years. She is caring, and listens to me. People who are complaining that she only addresses one issue, should know that this is a policy with most physicians. When making your initial appt. tell the scheduler of your concerns, then you'll be able to address a few things. I will always go to Dr. Bader as long as she is in practice. She has always and continues to give me good care. Her medical assistant, Amber, is also the best. She is very caring, empathetic , kind and down to earth. I c... read more

she and her staff will not follow up with you and then when you talk with Terry the office manager, she will call you a liar. I will not recommend Dr Bader or her practice to anyone

I came for my check up, I was having some troubling symptoms. She was snippy, refusing to hear my concerns. She scolded me, telling me I’d have to make more appts. So, I chose my heart issue, came in the next day. I ignored my other concerns, but, the next year at check up time, I asked her assistant for advice on a neurologist when Karen left the room. I was diagnosed with Parkinsons. If she has listened to me I would have been diagnosed a year earlier.
