Dr. Bain is truly the most amazing doctor. He is the perfect combination to have for a doctor. Highly intelligent, amazingly kindhearted, trustworthy, empathetic and extremely intuitive. He did what it took to get the patient ( in this case my mom on her deathbed) better no matter all the obstacles or hurdles he encountered. Whoever gets him as a doctor should consider themselves lucky as they are in good hands

Dr. Bain is the BEST! Such a detailed approach to everything he does. Also, pretty much saved my life a few months ago. Highly recommend!

Dr. Bain may be warm and good conversation but he doesn't have any tools in his office. He can't draw blood in order to get tested or any of the other basic equipment that you would expect at traditional medical office. He also sent me to a quest diagnostic that was not covered by my insurance and they charge me $1500. Keep searching for another physician who won't cost you a ton of money because he can't process a basic panel.

I met with doctor Bain almost 10 months ago. My mother was very very sick and he took such good care, was very attentive to detail, and was careful with the other medication mom was taking so he could prescribe the best combo for her. He is one of the main reasons my mom is alive today. Very helpful, he listens, he is caring and compassionate, and a great human being besides of being a wonderful doctor. I use him as my telehealth doctor as well. He is always there for his patients. I can't say thank you enough! Thank God for Dr. Bain!

Dr. Bain is the ideal physician. He is a knowledgeable and experienced doctor using the most current information and innovative treatments medicine has to offer. He is a gifted interpreter of medical situations. The treatment he provides is enhanced by his empathetic approach and his intuitive expertise. Dr Bain creates individualized treatment and solution plans incorporating traditional medicine and holistic homeopathic methods. Dr Bain is the consummate professional.

Approximately 12 years ago I was searching for a Doctor (a Good Doctor) and luckily for me I was referred to Dr Bain by my co-worker. I was greeted by him when I walked in which I truly appreciated. His Office was warm and inviting. It reminded me of when I was young and my Mom would take me to the Family Doctor. His bedside manner is excellent. Dr Bain actually takes the time to listen to you.

He's not the type of Dr to rush you out of his office. His diagnosis is always perfect and the treatment he provides work. I am extremely happy that I spoke with my co-worker that day as I found an Awesome Doctor. If you are looking for a GREAT Doctor, I suggest you give Dr Alan Bain a visit. You like me will be extremely happy you did.

My Wife and I were extremely lucky to find Dr. Bain. We have had to see many doctors for my Wife's complicated illness and out of all the doctors we have seen he is the most smart, thoughtful, and compassionate out of all of them. He truly listens and genuinely cares. He is not afraid to think outside the box or collaborate with other doctors and specialists.

We came to him for a very complex illness where most doctors would not listen and lazily labeled it "chronic fatigue" or "fibromyalgia" and say you have to basically live with it. Dr. Bain did not settle with those diagnoses, he digs deep to find out what exactly is happening and why. He goes above and behind to get to the root of your problem. We cannot say enough good things about Dr. Bain and we highly recommend him!

Dr. Bain is AAAMMMMAAAZZZIIINNNGGGG! I first saw Dr. Bain about six years ago for a series of complex medical problems I was having. Severe disorder of the nervous system, back injuries, and an injury to both of my hands. (Go big or go home!) I had seen a series of other doctors before him and they were adequate at best. Dr. Bain, however, took the time to listen to my issues and came up with a very detailed and nuanced plan for treatment that was effective and worked excellently for me. He literally helped me get my life back, and he is hilarious! Go, Team Dr. Bain!

Dr. Bain is the best doctor I've ever seen. He really cares about you as a person. He is warm and empathetic and listens. He also is well versed in different medicines and will work with you to find the root cause of the issue. He takes his time in sessions to gather information and get to know you. I enjoy the longer sessions as they allow for more time to discuss whatever medical problem is occurring. I highly recommend Dr. Bain.

I have been seeing Dr Bain for a few years now and I can honestly say that he's the best Dr I have ever had, and I've seen too many doctors. He truly listens to me as a patient and doesn't solely go off of my lab results. He has treated me with great respect. He has treated me medically, holistically and spiritually and you never find all of that in one Dr. Dr Bain I feel has literally saved my life more than once just by listening to me as a patient to my ailments.

He's had to persuade me to go to the ER at times as sometimes I can not only be a difficult patient but also I have a complicated medical issues ongoing. Dr Bain always seems to know what labs to order on me, ones that as a lab tech I hadn't even heard of since school. My previous Dr's never listened to me, I would leave many offices in tears, but Dr Bain always takes the time to not only listen but to research what's going on with me as well. I drive over an hour and pay for parking just so I can have a truly great Dr who I trust with my life. Go see him, you won't regret it.

When I had some medical issues that proved to be anything but normal and I needed a new approach. My sister referred me to Dr. Bain. He was a very caring and compassionate doctor. He really listened to me and he took an approach that included both Eastern and Western medicine. Dr. Bain is the unconventional doctor that is perfect for those who find themselves in an extraordinary medical crisis. He will go above and beyond and not give up on you!

Dr. Bain cares a great deal about treating more than just symptoms. He puts real effort into understanding your history and experiences and works with you to drill down to the root causes of your health concerns. He also demonstrates respect for your time by starting appointments promptly, which I very much appreciate.

Dr. Bain always hits the symptom on the head - to knock it out... getting me to great health! His extraordinary mind deciphers the root cause and then has a plan to move beyond. I highly recommend him.

Some doctors see you as a page in a medical textbook, or worse, an assembly line patient they treat on autopilot, without real individual concern. Dr. Bain is the polar opposite of this. He may surprise you with his non-traditional approach at times, but given the common limits of "tradition", where you are treated not as a whole, but as a part, I love his bedside manner and really speaking to him about my health issues.

Remedies are suggested not because they're the latest drug that the manufacturer is pushing on the doctor, or because that's what he's used to, but because they are the best for you.

He is highly-skilled in western medicine and at seeing how your diet/life add to the picture. Yes, his office is on the 13th floor of an old building, and he may be unlike any doctor you've ever had, but I wouldn't want it any other way.

I dont usually post reviews but I feel pretty passionate about this so I wanted to share. Dr. Bain has been a Godsend for me. I have had some bad health problems over the last year and a half and Dr. Bain has been doing everything in his power to fix me and he has helped me tremendously. I've never seen a doctor who is so compassionate and caring as Dr. Bain.

He thinks outside the box, which I love. I know that I can go to him with anything and I completely trust him. I could not recommended him enough, he is absolutely wonderful. He is what a doctor is suppose to be. So if your looking for someone who actually cares and wants to get to the root of your problems and figure out how to really help you get better Dr. Bain is the doctor for you.

Just started working with Bain about 4 months ago. I've got to say, he cares and he takes the time needed to get to the bottom of your issue. I think he's great. I'd recommend him to anyone that takes their health seriously.

I have been a patient of Dr. Bain's for roughly 25 years. He cares about helping you heal and it shows in the time he spends with you and the attention he gives. He will take the time to find alternative treatments to avoid damaging drug therapies. When another doctor wanted me to take an interferon drug, Dr. Bain found an alternate diagnosis as well as alternative medicine for my condition. I thank God I have him looking out for my health and well-being! I will never leave his practice.
