Dr. Baker is a remarkable physician and a breath of fresh air! He’s been my children’s trusted doctor for eight years, consistently demonstrating exceptional care.

He actively listens to parents’ concerns, involves us in decision-making, and innovatively approaches healthcare. His friendly staff always greets patients warmly in person and over the phone.

Appointments run seamlessly, eliminating wait times. The waiting area chairs look new because you don’t get a chance to sit! lol NEVER a wait period . It doesn’t smell, look or feel like a doctor’s office. You are not greeted like a patient. They make you feel like family.

Dr. Baker’s dedication extends beyond office hours; he’s accessible even at 2 a.m. for emergency concerns. 24/7.

I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Baker. You won’t regret choosing him for your littles’ healthcare!

He genuinely cares about everyone walking in. The best decision was choosing him before my first born .

One extremely happy mom !!
