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.

The best of the best doctors I have known.
I have been going to Dr Baker for 38 years and I have not known of a better physician. His compassion and empathy for his patients is above and beyond. I wish him the very best for his retirement and know that all of his patients especially me will miss terribly.

Amazing
I have quite literally never met an OB better! I feel like there has never been someone I connected with more than Dr Baker. He listens to concerns, and treats you with such kindness.

He is the most caring doctor I have ever had. He takes the time to talk with you in your visits and explain everything. He goes above and beyond for his patients. I have and will continue to recommend him to anyone I know! I trust him and feel comfortable with him.

Dr. Baker is by far the best OB. He’s kind, thorough and compassionate. He, Angie and the rest of the staff are fantastic! It’s obvious that Dr.Baker takes pride in his work!

Dr. Baker treated my mother horribly at a recent appointment because she changed her mind about moving forward with a procedure. He told her to not come back and said I think you know you're way out and walked out. This is a disgraceful way to treat a patient, in particular given the intimate nature of the OB/GYN relationship. Do yourself a favor and find an OB/GYN that believes you are the primary driver in your own health and will treat you with dignity no matter your age.

I have gone to Dr. Baker for nigh on 10 years now, and I absolutely adore him. His office is easy to reach, there are some later hours a few days a week, and the staff there are very warm and professional. Dr. Baker himself is warm, personable, twinkly, funny, thorough, and excellent at what he does. I do not glibly give him the 5 star rating - he has earned it and my trust.

Dr. Baker is the best OB I have ever had. Straight forward, honest, caring and the definition of what a doctor should be .My husband was even impressed by him. When they took me in to get ready for my c section he was talking on the phone with someone and said " I am going to deliver a little baby right now". My husband said he was so excited when he said it and could really tell he loves doing what he does.
