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.

Dr. Baker stayed at the hospital to meet me at 8pm and drain the fluid from my lung so that I could go home that evening! He was also very nice and provided very good care.

My brother was diagnosed with Advanced stage 4 Metastatic lung cancer in January 2017. The horror and heartache was beyond anything I thought I would be able to handle. Dr. Baker not only saved my brothers life by making all the right decisions, he stayed involved when brain cancer was discovered after his thoracic surgery. His kindness and compassion shows in his eyes. I will forever be Dr. Bakers biggest fan. Very soon it will be 2 years- All scans remain good. Thank you God & Dr. Baker.

Dr Baker has no compassion of a doctor. He does not know how to treat his patients and has no sense for their feelings or their family. Due to this we have lost our Mother because of the fear that was installed in her after hearing she had stage 3 cancer all by herself. I would never recommend him and when I confronted him about this matter he had a grin on his face and had no answer as to why he would do such a thing. I would NEVER recommend him or Passavant hospital. They are a disgrace.
