Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Personable and thorough
Dr. Baker is personable and thorough in his understanding of your concerns. He is easy to talk to and remembers your issues over time so you don’t feel like just another patient.

One of the best MDs I have
Dr. Baker provides excellent care and always takes the time to fully answer any questions or concerns. He gives very common sense, real world advice and recommendations, and listens to your concerns. The only negative is that becuase he is so thorough and engaging, he tends to run behind schedule. But he is worth wating for knowing he is giving his patirnts his full attention and time as needed.

Excellent Doctor
I've gone to Dr. Baker for a year now and am very happy with him so far. He's congenial and gets to the point. My care so far has been very helpful and informative. Had some scheduling issues early on that almost sent me away, but glad I stuck with it. In my experience, that end of things across the health care sector hasn't been great.

Wonderful Doctor!
I've been seeing Dr Baker since 2020. He is a caring, professional Doctor, who includes his patients actively in their continued care. This was an annual check up to verify that my health status had not changed and that I was doing well. He is not a Dr who only cares about his specialty BUT rather he takes an interest in his patients full range health, something I truly appreciate!We discussed my on-going health and made sure that my next appointment as well as test requirements were all set up prior to my leaving the office.I feel well cared for by Dr Baker and would highly recommend him!

Referred by family doctor due to high PSA.
Dr Baker is personable, patient and very thorough. As a patient, I sense his sincere interest and care for the best treatment outcome. He makes every effort to insure I understand every treatment step and clearly explains option choices available and gives me a feeling that he’s not in a hurry in order to move on to other patients without my complete understanding of my status in the treatment process. He is an excellent choice for a Urologist.

Exceptional Doctor, Surgeon and Caregiver
I first met Dr. Baker in 2010 when my PCP referred me for a urological issue I was experiencing. Dr. Baker diagnosed prostate cancer as the problem. He clearly described each treatment option along with risks and benefits respectively so we could effectively make the best decision for my health and our family's future. Although my prognosis at the time with 100% of the sample cores taken being cancerous, a Gleason score greater than 8 and typical lifespan expectancy of 10yrs, Brett has helped me beat the odds these past 14 years!!! For me and all 4 family members (both male and female) who rely upon him for his medical and urological expertise, we consider Dr. Baker one of the best in Central Texas. RDR - April 10, 2024
