Was a good first meeting! Anxious to learn more.
Dr Baron formulated a plan for my insomnia. She is thorough, knowledgeable, and helpful.
Dr. Baron has been very thorough and detailed in reviewing my sleep challenges. I truly appreciate that she's looking at cognitive training changes I can make, instead of just jumping to medications.
Dr. Baron is very caring and helpful.
Dr. Baron is kind, knowledgeable, respectful, probes kindly, and gives clear advice that is practical and helpful. I trust her. I am grateful to be working with her.
Dr. Baron is very insightful and full of helpful knowledge. She is understanding and desires to make others lives better through improved sleep and overall health.
She is very personable and easy to talk to. She is easy to trust with my care.
I don't know yet. too early
I would appreciate meeting with a Doctor, not a student. Twice is enough, now I want professional care.
She is a wonderful, competent person with a calming, reassuring presence and vast knowledge about getting good sleep!
Good.
Dr. Baron continues to listen to my concerns and give useful advice and helps me see issues in a way I hadn't thought of.
Dr Kelly is exceptional in her knowledge, care and patient follow up. I always felt from our first consultation that she put me first and was very helpful to me in working through my sleep issues. She provided superb follow up and exhibited genuine care and interest in my situation. She guided me a through a successful process and feel that I can always turn to her if necessary.
Cogent, caring, helpful, relatable, and knows the best path forward with my sleep care. If any one can help me it will be her.
little empathy for acknowledging depth of suffering, no care plan overview of what treatment will look like
Got some good ideas for dealing with my issue.
THANK YOU for LISTENING & CARING so much !!!!!
I appreciate the care and information provided I Dr. Barron. It was a successful experience for me.
Dr Baron formulated a plan for my insomnia. She is thorough, knowledgeable, and helpful. I would highly recommend her.
Great class that has really good information for me to use to help with my sleep/insomnia. I feel totally comfortable sharing in this class and there is no judgement.
Dr. Baron was very kind and I felt she was very interested in helping me.
Dr Baron is a conscientious provider. She is in a specialized niche but I am very happy with her.
I am very optomistic about the class helping me solve my sleep problems. I was very impressed with Kelly.
Dr Baron is skilled in sleep hypnosis and has helped greatly to improve my sleep quality and waking up less times a night. Dr Baron is cogent and gifted at finding the best way to help her patients.
I already mentioned this in a previous question. Read above. I like Kelly a lot and feels she has the expertise and knowledge and experience to hopefully help me with my insomnia.
I waited 8 months to see her. Finally so much hope that she will help me with my chronic pain and sleep. Can we have more doctors like her in UU?
She shows an interest in me and my well being. You are not rushed or feel unimportant to her.
Dr. Baron is amazing. She understands and is completely honest. I wanted to get off ambien after being on it for over 25yrs. I have been tapering off, and now I am doing the hard work of rewiring my brain to learn how to sleep. Dr. Baron tells me this will be hard. It is, but I have goals and she is helping me achieve each one. I am looking forward to the day of sleeping like I use to with out drugs.
Dr.Baron is current on the science and diagnoses of sleep disorders, helpful, empathetic, suggests literature to increase the patients understanding, and offers up methodical clear cut plans for care.
It was great to talk to someone about this issue.
Dr. Baron was excellent. She let me talk about my situation in detail, took notes, asked relevant questions, and made some helpful suggestions.
She barely participated during the appointment and instead openly played on her computer.
Dr. Baron has been great!
My first visit was introductory. I hope to glean more information as I attend future sessions.
Highest marks. Id recommend Dr Baron to my family and friends. Shes smart, caring and well prepared. Actually reads my chart prior to appointment.
Extremely helpful, great behavior modification suggestions, totally satisfied & confident with my care & progression to improving my condition.
My sleep is under much better control as a result of Dr. Baron's advice.
I felt very accommodated.
Listened to my experiences and concerns carefully. Was encouraging about treatment and success in my particular situation. Am looking forward to next appointment
Dr. Kelly Baron is amazing. I came to her after being on ambien for 20 plus years. I wanted to taper off, which I am still working on. But she has worked with me, thru my ups and downs. She listens, which is the biggest positive for me. She is my coach thru this challenge. And she helps me with goals and blips. I am so glad I found her to help.
Dr. Baron took the time to listen to me and then gave me several choices that would help me. She was very professional in her dress and commuicating with me and also toke me that I could call her for help if I needed it
