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.

Reckless
Reckless behavior. Dr. Baker met my mother the day prior to being discharged from a skilled nursing facility. My mother was recently diagnosed with aFib and struggled to find the right mix of meds to help her. Upon discharge Dr. Baker dropped her heart and anxiety meds. It was a scary 48 hours for my Mom. Her family worked with her other physicians to ensure she was provided the right prescriptions. Dr. Baker said the family should weigh in but she never circled back with the family or the patient. My Mom's cardiologist team was stunned by the actions.
