Dr. James Bakeman, MD

Dr. Bateman is very thorough, never acts like he is in a hurry, and is extremely kind and compassionate. I was most impressed that although he is a surgeon, he was not quick to suggest surgery. He talked to me about my options and left it to me to decide if and when I should have the surgery to repair my shoulders. I appreciate his manner and I also like his PA, Nate.

Dr Bakeman is an excellent choice for orthopedic issues and surgery.

Great "bedside manner" and very informative. I appreciated the explanation in understanding terms followed with course of action steps/options/suggestions. Very personable

His smile, laughter just making us at ease. Willing to give information and share ideas.

Dr. Bakeman for my office visit yesterday (October 26) was very informative and took the time to explain my knee area issue. He has always been such a friendly physician that seems genuinely interested in me as his patient and as in the past I definitely will continue coming to Dr. Bakeman for any further treatments. A. K.

Dr Bakeman got me in for shots in my knees two days before a trip and did it personally. Very pleased!

Great doctor. This is my second surgery with him.

Very personable and attentive. Wasn't just looking for another person to do surgery on. Gave his honest opinion and reassured me my hips are perfect and my knee will get better after back surgery.

Dr. Bakeman reviewed my knee X-rays with me and explained why I’m having pain and limited mobility. He prescribed a minimally invasive treatment that won’t interfere with my walking and strength training routines. Dr. Bakeman is very professional and personable. He explained my condition in language I could understand and made our discussion very comfortable. We have had such a gloomy Spring here in Michigan, Dr. Bakeman was a true ray of sunshine. His big smile and good humor brightened my day and gave me hope. I highly recommend him. Thank you Dr. Bakeman. I hope you bring your sunshine to all your patients.

Very informative no pressure great atttitude on time n pleasant. He will at some point. Do my surgery

Dr. Bakeman is a great doctor and surgeon. He was right about me not having any problems healing with my left knee replacement. He is doing my right one this month.

Dr Bakeman is an exceptional surgeon, but he is a wonderful care giver. He looks out for what is best for me as a person, he truly makes me feel cared for.

Listens to my concerns Very encouraging

Each time I visit Dr. Bakeman himself, or anyone in his office, I feel refreshed knowing that I will receive the best of the best. So no matter why I'm going there; be it for pre-surgery, day of surgery or any follow ups, I know that Dr. Bakeman will be involved somehow, whether in person or in a follow-up conversation. He wants to know of my condition and how successful it is or will be. Feeling secure and comfortable is a huge plus when your health is being discussed. On a scale of 1 to 10, bad to best, I would rate Dr. Bakeman as an eleven. He knows what he is doing, has dedicated his life to perfecting his skills and is a very pleasant person to talk to. And he has a crew that is second to none.

He replaced my knee 3 years ago and it is still just wonderful! I have fallen on it and it remains perfect. Wish I had it done sooner than I did!

yes. He replaced my damaged left knee with a titanium one more than 10, maybe even 15 years ago and it's still functioning marvelously except for deep knee bends. He gets a 5++++ ..... from me.

Dr Bakeman has performed two different surgeries on me. Both times the procedures have gone flawlessly and the recovery has been as easy as could be expected in either case. My recovery in both cases was hundred percent. I would highly recommend Dr. Bakeman for any knee procedure. Great staff also.

Dr Bakeman is so kind and compassionate! He takes time to answer all my questions and I never feel rushed. I shattered both forearm bones above the wrist. I was just hanging there and bleeding. I thought this is the end of me. I am 69 and a massage therapist. Yet he put me back together and I am working again! I highly recommend Dr Bakeman a very skilled surgeon.

Dr. Bakeman is an outstanding doctor! He is personable and a talented surgeon. Every surgery he has performed on me (knees and shoulder) has ended with excellent results and made me “ like new” again.

Dr.Bakeman has been my surgeon for years. Having both my rotator cuffs repaired, and both my knees fully replaced. Excellent surgeon. He is friendly and well spoken.
