Dr Baird is an excellent physician and surgeon. He listens attentively and is always willing to entertain my concerns no matter how minor or major. I very much appreciate his thoroughness and explaining what is going to happen during and after my knee replacement surgery. His staff is very nice and I have never waited long for my appointment.
