About Dr. Steven R. Bauer

Dr. Steven R. Bauer is the founder and managing member of Ballantyne Medical Associates®® in Charlotte, North Carolina, where he has been practicing since March 2007. His dedication to helping his patients achieve their optimal health is evident in his focus on treating the whole person and keeping in mind the multiple aspects of each of their individual lives.

He graduated cum laude from the department of agriculture and life science in the pre-med program at North Carolina State University. Dr. Bauer then attended medical school at The New York Institute of Technology. After graduating medical school with honors he completed his internship and residency programs at Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center in New York. Dr. Bauer was then elected to serve as chief resident to complete his final year of training at Good Samaritan. After completion of his chief residency year he earned AOA National Board Certification in Family Medicine / Osteopathic Medicine. Prior to moving to NC in December 2006, he spent nine years in private practice in NY while also working as a Suffolk County New York Department of Health HIV disease specialist in a hospital-operated county clinic. Currently, he is affiliated with the fellowship in anti-aging and regenerative medicine with the Metabolic Medicine Institute- American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine ( A4M ).

Dr. Bauer has a passion for medical research and helping bring new pharmaceutical products to market. These new, cutting-edge pharmaceuticals are used by our nation’s physicians to help their patients live longer and healthier lives.

He is certified by the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative ( CITI ) to conduct Human Clinical Research.  As a Principal Investigator for numerous pharmaceutical companies he conducts reserach on many new investigational medications. Dr Bauer has been instrumental in bringing many new drugs to market and FDA product label changes for new indications of current medications such as Victoza, Ozempic , Trulance , Tresiba , Xofluza, Dupixent, Evusheld, Rybelsus, Nurtec-ODT, and others. 

The patients of Ballantyne Medical Associates®® have all become accustomed to seeing Dr. Bauer train medical students, nurse practitioner students and physician assistant students throughout the years on a regular basis. Dr. Bauer has clinical affiliation agreements to offer his teaching expertise in the training of students at our Ballantyne offices from the following institutions: Eastern Virginia Medical School, East Carolina University, University of South Carolina, Meharry Medical College, Baylor University, The George Washington University, University of Colorado, The Alabama College of Osteopathic Medicine, Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, Wingate University, Chamberlain University of Chicago, Anderson University College of Health Professions, St. John Fisher University, Carson-Newman University, University of North Alabama, University of Alabama, Vanderbilt University and NOVA Southeastern University.

This credential has afforded Dr. Bauer the ability to detox and treat patients who have fallen victim to our Nations prescription opioid epidemic. Like the treatment of HIV disease, the treatment of the addiction to opioids and the horrible physical dependence which accompanies it has become a passion of Dr. Bauer’s. As per Dr. Bauer’s own words, “There is no better feeling then to be instrumental in helping save someone from this horrible crisis which affects so many across our Country

Dr. Bauer is also certified through (ACT) Aesthetic Consulting & Training to administer Botox Cosmetic injections to help both his male and female patients maintain a more youthful appearance.
