I had a very positive experience during my first visit to Dr Christopher E Baker. Dr Baker was caring, personable and knowledgeable. He had a great bedside manner. He explained in details all the options and his recommendations, which helped me making the decision for my treatment. I really appreciated the excellent care he provided to me! Highly recommend Dr Baker to anyone who needs a orthopedic specialist!

Nurse practitioner was very kind and professional. However, Dr. Baker only entered to inject my knee and seemed extremely rushed, as though he could not wait to leave.
The front-counter staff were openly discussing personal gossip, behaving dismissively, and making my wife and me feel uncomfortable. I needed a letter for work, but they completed it incorrectly because they barely listened to our explanation. When my wife politely requested a correction, two employees gave her intimidating and disrespectful looks. We also heard an employee speaking negatively about a patient who had just left and using profanity in Spanish, apparently assuming we would not understand. We are bilingual and understood everything. Discussing a patient that way within earshot of others was completely unprofessional.
This was a paid medical visit, not a favor. Patients deserve attentive care and respectful treatment. Unfortunately, this experience left me with no desire to return.
