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.

on top of his game.
this guy is a seasoned pro, brilliant and candid. i trust him.

Dr. Baker has a thorough knowledge, care and concern for my condition. If he doesn't know the answer he will say so and get back with excellent information. I've used him for over 15 years - and I absolutely know he will fight with the insurance companies for appropriate medication and care. Additionally, he has a friendly and responsive staff. The portal is well managed too.

I have been a patient of Dr. Baker for five years. He worked with me for almost 18 months with my diabetes and blood pressure and stayed focused until we finally got my labs under control. His dedication to my questions and treatment was excellent. I have recommended Dr. Baker to several of my friends and all of them are very happy with his treatments.
