Dr. Baker took the time to carefully explain my options, along with the pros and cons of these options. Very professional, to the point, and professional.
Amazing doctor
Great attitude and service. However I'm going to get a second opinion to make sure all is well and that we didn't miss anything.
Pleasant, kind, professional
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
