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.

New Patient
I'm new to Dr. Baker's practice after my prior provider retired. I'm am older in age and have existing medical issues, so I was somewhat wary of finding a new physician who would take the time to listen and address my issues. Dr. Baker, from my first visit, was easy to communicate with and was very patient in reviewing my medical conditions.

No longer seeing this doctor
He would not refer me to a neurologist and said, “Let’s wait…” Wouldn’t discuss my fibromyalgia or neuropathy & discounted my afib episodes as “mild” even though cardiologist said “they were serious.”

Asked for documentation of my diagnosis so I could request reasonable accommodations from my employer. Dr. Baker refused citing an increase in my medication - stating that he wanted my to stick it out and let the medication work. I made it clear that I would not be able to continue working with out accommodations and requested a referral to a specialist. The referral was not made until several months later. By that time I had to quit my job because I was not able to work without accommodations. Needless to say, Dr Baker is no longer my doctor and I find his care to have been inadequate and irresponsible.

I have only seen him once. I an a nurse & I am very particular about which doctors I see. I have a complicated medical history. He was very patient & listened to everything that I had to say. I read the notes on the My Chart afterward & was pleased to see that he had recorded everything. I think that I will be using him for years to come.
