Dr. Baker never explained my test results and tried to put me on medication without ever explaining WHY. He mumbled some things and never acknowledged us. I HOPE he develops heart issues soon and is treated as poorly as he treated us.

I have been a patient of Dr. Baker's for over four years. As a retired physician I especially appreciate his comprehensive approach to my complex life history of cardiac disease. Pair that to an efficient, friendly office staff and you have a winning combination for anyone!

Waiting time is unbareable, visit is usually unproductive due to missing blood work and no communication with other doctors involved.

My fiance was sent to Dr. Baker by another cardiologist. We love Dr. Baker. There was some concern with my fiance needing a pacemaker/defibulator. He has been extremly helpful and calming through the whole thing. And happy to report so far, no pacemaker/defibulator.We highly recommend Dr. Baker. Espically for someone with extra concerns.
