Dr. Baker is an excellent physician. He’s simply the best surgeon I know. I’ve had the unfortunate opportunity to be under his care twice and each time he’s gotten me back where I needed to be.
Exceptional doctor!
I have seen Dr Bakers father and his son is just as knowledgeable and compassionate as his father is . I was treated with dignity and respect and he took the time to answer any questions I had . Great bedside manner . He is also my husbands doctor and did his knee and shoulder repair.
Efficient, polite, not condescending.
Great man! Very personable, took the time to explain everything on my upcoming surgery!
Very friendly atmosphere
Today was a steroid injection for my knee. I am trying to get better with my knee. I appreciate all of the advice that Dr Baker gives me and the options to help me. He really cares and tells me what options I have for the future.
Dr Baker was the epitome of empathy and grave. He listened intently and was very kind in his approach which I genuinely appreciated. Thank you ❤️
