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.

Joe Baker is my PCP. Prior to finding Joe, I was always afraid of going to the doctor. I felt like I was in an antagonistic position relative to my PCPs, who were all women. In 2016 I was very sick, and in the course of getting the care I needed, I became Joe's patient. Would you believe I now look forward to my doctor's appointments? Joe is warm, open, and welcoming. He acts like he really likes me as a person and is glad to learn more about me and my life. Best of all, he is willing to geek things out with me. We have poured over a hot computer determining the best antibiotic for a UTI, for instance. I had to go in today because I've found myself in another bout of sinusitis. The appointments person was going to assign me to a nurse practitioner on Joe's team, but I asked if Joe had any time free instead. He did, and I got to see him and get my Z-pack and puffer. It's always like an extra dose of good medicine to get my health care from Joe Baker. He is a great doctor.

I've had some great doctors, but Dr Baker might just be the best of them. His knowledge base runs incredibly deep (always spot on) and he's very generous with his time. I've run into a number of health issues and he's always been so very committed to me. You can tell he really cares about his work_and_his patients. I feel pretty lucky

I've had many years caring attention by a Physicians Asst. who has since retired. Since then I have been seeing Dr. Baker. Dr. Baker is caring and VERY pro-active in regards to my health. I have never felt rushed, and he explains everything very well. His exams are thorough regarding one's physical and mental health. Just a really good Dr. with a great manner with his patients! Highly recommended!
