“When it comes to my patients, I don’t treat numbers; I treat people. Caring for others is what I’m meant to do. Spending time both treating and educating those in my care allows patients to be active participants in their health.”

Dr.Baitel is excellent and thoroughly discussed my treatment. She went out of her way to provide an earlier appointment, much appreciated, as were her warm manner and sympathetic approach.

I am not one who goes to the doctor on a regular basis, but every time I visit this facility, the nurses and entire staff treat me incredibly well! Dr. Beitel has been thorough. She listens and provides support, and I have so much respect for her and the team at Spring Mills! This office is a model for others!
