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.

I have recommended Dr. Baker to many people over the many years that I've been her patient. She has gone beyond all my expectations as a physician. She's sharp, researches all methods of care, constantly questions and probes all aspects of my condition and health. She listens intently and respects my opinions, health decisions and together determine method of treatment. I trust her and appreciate her honesty. She practices alone in order to give each patient the time and attention they deserve. Although wait times may sometimes be long, it is well worth the wait in order to have all the time needed in order to have a thorough and complete exam to determine the most effective treatment. She does not scrimp on time or attention. i always feel satisfied and confident with the results of my visits. I credit her with saving my life 16 years ago when she sensed after probing that I had a heart defect. I had open heart surgery for a blocked left main coronary artery, the "widow maker".

My wife and I both contracted the COVID virus. As a result of several underlying conditions, my wife became really ill. Dr. Baker was determined to cure us without admittance to any hospital. She started us on regiments of medications and monitored our progress via weekly blood work and chest x-rays; we had developed pneumonia as well. I am COVID negative now and the pneumonia is gone. My wife is now COVID negative with a small trace of pneumonia which is projected to clear up in a week. Dr. Baker’s knowledge, thoroughness and concern for her patients are remarkable. She may well have saved my wife’s life. She is also very clever. To celebrate a patient’s recovery from the virus, Dr. Baker, designed a coffee cup to give to her patients. She even coined the word “COVIDOCIOUS” which is clearly displayed on the cup. We are extremely fortunate to have Dr. Baker as our PCP.
