Reviews
Dr. Baker and his staff are amazing! The office is environment is calm, friendly, and clean. Dr. Baker is very wise, experienced, and patient. He takes the time to talk with both mom(me) and my 15 year old in ways that connected to her, offering her choices about her medical condition and explaining to mom in ways that I understand too. We felt hopeful and have come up with solutions to her GI issues. Thank you, Dr. Baker and staff!
He changed our lives, plain and simple! And we LOVE nurse Bridgette!! Her and Dr. Baker are amazing!!
Dr. Baker is professional and thorough with his visits. We feel very confident that he will help our daughter. Very friendly staff.
Calm demeanor, knowledge and explained everything in a way I would understand. Office was easy to communicate and schedule with.
Dr. Baker and his staff are the most kind Doctor and staff we’ve ever dealt with. He takes the time to listen to you, and I never felt rushed or that what I was saying wasn’t important to him which can happen in a lot of Doctor’s offices. He even spent time reassuring me that we’re doing everything right, and it felt so great to be heard and seen. I could tell he researched our child’s condition before meeting with us and was informed about it, helping us make the appropriate decisions together. I left the appt. wishing all of our appts. with other Doctor’s were like ours with him today. Highly recommend him to anyone who has a child with feeding issues!
Dr Baker has been a tremendous help! Very friendly office staff and no waiting time. Highly recommend
Love this office and staff! Dr. Baker is sooo nice! Along with everyone! He is our sons pediatric gi and has such a way with children!❤
Dr. Baker is absolutely amazing!! He knows how to look at the patient and not just numbers.. he was able to help get our daughter off of the NG tube in 2 weeks when others had recommended placing a G-tube. We are so thankful to have found out about him and are forever grateful! I would absolutely more than recommend him to anyone, especially those with feeding issues. He’s very experienced!! Thank you for everything!
After many years of struggling with the same condition, Dr Baker was the one who recommended the right therapy. Highly recommend this Dr.
He's such a great doctor. He listened and made my son really comfortable while examining him.
He listened to everything I had to say, took a complete history. He was compassionate and I did not feel rushed. He alao educated us, which many doctors do not take the time to do. I felt relieved. His nurses were also very kind and helpful.
This one of the few doctors that are competent, compassionate, humble and honest. He is not trying to sell you the next procedure. He is not trying to do complicated things. My son was extremely sick and had to be fed via gtube. Doctor Baker put my son on a very aggressive plan that got my son eating by mouth again. I have brought my son extremely sick from overseas travel and he was able to get my son feeling normal with one just visit. I highly recommend Doctor Baker.
