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.

Amazing Provider, helped so much
Dr. Haak is an amazing Psychiatrist. She has helped my daughter immensely. I feel that she came in at the right time, and saved my daughter. My daughter is 9 years old and suffers from ARFID, I didnt even know what that was until I met her and the team. Dr. Haak works very closely with the IOP eating clinic with Childrens Hospital. I feel that she has save my daughter from needing a feeding tube and she has gained 20lbs. Dr. Haak listened to us and was able to put her on the right medication to help my daughter get back to eating again. The fear of throwing up and eating is gone. She saved my daughters life.

Our son was a patient of Jennifer Haak before she started a Baker Victory Services. I have thought about writing about a review for years, but never did it. Dr. Haak's office was in a hospital setting. She was very secretive about what she though was wrong with him, and we had to find our own information. I cannot describe how much I did not like her, or trust her, but I wasn't sure where else to go. At one point, she let us know that it must be very difficult to be a child of two school teachers. I always felt that she blamed us. She had a odd relationship with her mentor teacher in my opinion. She lied to us and stated that there would be a very specific test completed if we agreed to inpatient care, and then never ordered the test after we agreed to have him admitted. We are very thankful that our son is no longer suffering from any mental health issues, owns his own home, works full time in a career that he loves, and is a well rounded, usually happy person. Go somewhere else!

After several visits and her lack of follow up to our Nutritionist as requested by our Pediatrician, we realized she lacked thorough training and was mechanical at best.

My son has been in Baker Victory where she is there ONLY medication doctor and due to the way the program is funded I can not get outside services but if I could I would. She definitely a med pusher and has change my son's medication without notifying me. I got to the pharmacy and realized it. She does not like to accept that the children and the families need help and instead I feel is more interested in blaming the parent completely. If only there was enough space for me to write it all.

Dr. Haak does not listen to the patients or their parents/step parents. Dr. Haak does whatever she wants with her patients. My 6 year old daughters' medication just keeps being increased with every 3 month follow up. According to her practice, Dr. Haak wants my daughter to be a zombie along with her older sister and the rest of her patients. I would NOT recommend this provider to my worst enemy!
