I have been to see Dr. Baratz on two different occasions - arthritis and hand/thumb issues. Yes, I have had to wait in the waiting room on occasion, but the care he gives to his patients makes me not mind so much. I would probably wait someplace else as well. I highly recommend the Washington office. They are professional and attentive to their patients.
