Dr. Christopher Baker, MD

After visiting Dr. Baker for trigeminal neuralgia, he prescribed carbamazepine to reduce the effects before and after surgery. Dr. Baker advised me that I would have to be weaned off the carbamazepine 10 weeks after surgery. When my prescription needed to be refilled Dr. Baker said my family doctor should take over the prescription. My family doctor did not want to since he did not prescribe it. Dr. Baker’s office said they would only give me another 30-day supply and I would have to go to a neurologist to continue the prescription. I tried explaining a single refill would not last until my follow-up appointment with Dr. Baker. Dr. Baker’s representative hung up on me. I feel abandoned by Dr. Baker and need to find another doctor to wean me off the medicine. Dr. Baker’s actions are completely unacceptable, and I cannot recommend him not because he is not good at what he does, but because he has no ability to work with his patients. In general, his office hides behind its phone system.

He is a kind and terrific doctor

I appreciate this doctor’s honesty, professionalism and “bedside manner” he was able to built a positive rapport very quickly

he explained things in a normal person to person way so I could understand what was going on. He told me he didn't care what time if I needed him just call I found him very authentic in his mannerism was awesome. As far as I'm concerned he's a wonderful doctor. I would recommend him to anybody that needed him

Dr Baker and his staff were wonderful, helpful and knowledgeable. My appointment went smoothly and on time. Thank you Dr Baker & staff!

Dr. Baker did a wonderful job on my back surgery. He listens and makes sure you understand your care.

I would like to thank Jane in Dr. Baker's office for all her Professional mannerisms and show of Compassion. She help me with making an appointment in a different doctor's office. She sent over all the paperwork for my father to the other doctor. She certainly did not have to do that but she did. Thank you so much Jane. Dr. Baker is Blessed to have her.

Absolutely the BEST OF BEST! 3 Prev Neuro 3 yr treatment w/o results. 12 was post op spinal reconstruction surgery, 90% pain reduction, back in gym, pool and walking 1/2 mi. Greatest quality, is genuine concern, put completely at ease, and 100% delivery on everything exactly as he stated. Gave my life back will always be indebted! Tremendous staff, Susan Lowe could not been more helpful.

Fabulous! Because of the pandemic, I had a telephone consultation. Dr. Baker couldn't have been a better listener and got the wheels rolling in an amazing amount of time, towards, answers for my issue. I have full confidence in this man and couldn't have been more impressed with his education, knowledge and attentiveness. I am lucky to have found him and will keep him as my Neurosurgeon as long as he is in practice!

I was referred to Dr. Baker through my PCP for lower back pain problem. I always check the reviews first. I was very surprised with the results. This review is based on my 3 visits so far. I found his front staff to be very pleasant, helpful and friendly. I thought his surgery coordinator was alittle stand-offish, though I know she's busy. Dr. Baker was friendly and pleasant, but my PCP ordered the wrong area of my spine scanned, so the first visit was a bust! He rescheduled me for a lumbar MRI @ the Meducal Arts Ctr & it was $500 cheaper than the wrong scan @ the hospital...location makes a huge difference! The 2nd visit he was friendly & pleasant. Took my CD loaded and showed me the problem...surgery would be needed soon! He told me what he was going to do, though in detail enough and told me to meet with his girls and they would arrange everything. They did, but due to a bad cough & too high A1C I had to cancel my surgery, now slated for the Spring 2020. I would recommend.

Dr Baker performed a miracle on my neck in 2007- a fusion. Pain free in neck and arm ever since.

Dr. Baker was chosen for me by the ER referring physician, following a seizure that uncovered a brain tumor metastasized from lung cancer. He was very short and curt with me (and my wife who drove me to the appointment) as he was anxious to go on vacation. Scheduling with his office is very difficult and frustrating. I tried to schedule and appointment for a separate spine issue, but was refused an appointment.

Office staff prevent you from seeing the Dr when you have a problem.

Dr. Baker was nothing short of amazing when h meet my mother to remove bilateral hematomas under emergency circumstances. I would highly recommend him.

We felt very comfortable in Dr Baker's care. His surgical skills are excellent; his bedside manner very pleasant. "I felt I made a friend" said Jim. We would recommend him very highly. Thank you so much Dr Baker and staff! Jim and Ruth Bruce

My wife was diagnosed with a herniated disc about a year ago. The first doctor we saw made the condition seem very difficult to treat, suggesting fusion. We got a second opinion because that seemed desperate & scary. Dr Baker said he would sue any doctor that would suggestion fusion for her condition. He made it sound very easy to treat and was sure it'd work. 1 year later post op and shes 100% pain free. Hes a skilled doctor and it might come across as arrogance but hes just confident. See him.

Dr. Baker performed a spinal procedure on L3-4 on January 10, 2018 at Florida Hospital Orlando. I was experiencing severe right leg pain. I am recovering but the pain is gone and I am looking forward to a full recovery. My experience with Dr. Baker and his staff, before and after the procedure, has been professional and caring.

He is a pompous jerk who doesn't listen. His office is a mess--hard to get ahold of anyone. go to someone else!!!!!

THIS IS THE MOST RUDEST, ARROGANT PHYSICIAN I HAVE EVER MET. HAS NO BESIDE MANNER NEVER EXPLAINED WHAT TYPE OF SURGERY THAT I WAS NEEDING AND HIS OFFICE STAFF DOESNT EVEN KNOW HOW TO BE PROFESSIONAL.

I went to Baker with a severely herniated cervical disk, seeking a second opinion on the advice of my GP. An orthopedic surgeon earlier recommended fusion, which I was worried about. Dr. Baker recommended artificial disk replacement instead. His rationale was sound. The surgery went very well. I was back to work in 1 week. Staff in hospital told me he's one of the best. He also has a good sense of humor. 1 year later - zero pain and am back to running. Amazing really.
