I've been going to him since 2012, and he is an absolute professional at what he does. He is very kind, patient, and explains things thoroughly especially for me when English is not my first language. The staff is fantastic as well!

I had been experiencing bleeding which had been attributed to another cause. Although Dr. Baber told me that I needed to have a colonoscopy, I was reluctant to do so. A certified nurse anesthetist administered the anesthesia and the procedure was over before I realized it. A large polyp was removed which contained cancer. If the polyp had not been removed, the cancer could have spread. I thank Dr. Baber for his persistence. He answered all my questions. His staff was really nice.

Strapped my grandma down to the bed and told her family she was under anesthesia. But was awake the whole time!! He needs to learn some manners and how to treat people.

I had a problem that I had been seeing another Dr. about. But I feel as though it was going nowhere on getting it taken care of. I switched to Dr. Baber and his office staff got me right in and he figured out the problem and treated it. He sat and listened to my concerns and went from there. Great Doctor. I really appreciate him.
