Dr. Baker was able to see me on short notice and was very attentive to my concerns.
Hes listend to what i had to say . I really like that.
Dr. Baker is a pleasure to work with and has calm energy upon entry into the exam room. My teenage daughter felt comfortable with questions and the physical exam portion. He is thorough, patient, kind and gentle. For a female teenager being examined, he spoke through the process of his exam to ease her mind. In addition, he’s a great educator/preceptor for and to his doctor resident (Resnick, DO? Apologies for botching his name).
Dr. Baker is an above excellent doctor. He has a natural way of putting his patients at ease. .
Very professional and genuine. I highly recommend Dr. Baker to anyone seeking treatment for knee problems.
A consummate professional. We are fortunate to have an orthopedic surgeon of his quality in Columbus. The fact that he is much a good guy is a bonus!
He is the most compassionate physician. I am so appreciative of how he is trying to help me with my hurting knee.
Great bedside manner.
Friendly, he took his time and explained things and genuinely seems like a dr that wants to help.
Dr Baker always gives several options of treatment it's very thorough in his examinations very knowledgeable
