Dr. Baker is the best, great bedside manner, takes plenty of time to explain what he has done and what needs to be done, and the wait time is very little
Great person and doctor
I can’t recommended Dr. Baker enough!
Love this guy. Been seeing him for about 15 years.
Seems nice and professional.
Best Doctor in the World! Dr. Baker gives wonderful shots, and I hate needles! Perfectly Painless! Everyone is so nice at Hughston Clinic! World Class Customer Care and Service!
He was very nice. He explained everything where I could understand. He gave me another option to try before surgery.
Very precise he didn't him all around. I was in and out. Did not have to wait long periods of time before getting straight to the possible reasons and arrangements for tests to get exactly the answers we needed to move forward.
Always nice the whole staff
Dr. Baker was very impressive and simplified my CT scan results. I have a very good understanding of my rotator cuff tear. He was very theral describing my options. Thank you
