Disappointed Patient / Medical Professional I am very disappointed to be writing this review because my family and I have had a longstanding relationship with this practice. My elderly mother has received care here, as have other members of my family, and I have continued to make the 30+ mile trip to this office because I valued the attention to care I received and the kindness of the nursing staff. I fully acknowledge that I have had scheduling difficulties. As a healthcare professional myself, unexpected call-outs, having to stay beyond my scheduled work hours, and traffic while traveling more than 30 miles to the office have occasionally affected my ability to make appointments as planned. I understand that missed or changed appointments can be disruptive to a medical practice, and I certainly don't expect the office to ignore its scheduling policies. What was disappointing was how the situation was handled. I recently received an email that I found unnecessarily rude and… impersonal, particularly considering my history with the practice. The communication felt as though it was being sent to a brand-new patient with no established relationship with the office. It also referenced a previous warning letter that I was supposedly sent, but I have never received such a letter. I also found the lack of grace particularly disappointing because patients are routinely asked to accommodate schedule changes when the physician has an emergency, is unavailable, or is on vacation. I have always understood that unexpected circumstances happen in healthcare. I simply expected that same understanding to extend both ways, or at minimum, that concerns about my scheduling history would be communicated professionally and respectfully. Ultimately, I suppose none of this matters from the practice's perspective because I was dismissed as a patient anyway. What stays with me is how cold and impersonal that dismissal felt after years of trusting this office with not only my care, but the care of members of my family. There was no sense of the longstanding patient-provider relationship I believed had been established. As a medical professional myself, I understand that practices have policies and sometimes have to make difficult decisions regarding patient relationships. My disappointment is not simply that a policy was enforced. It is in the manner in which the situation was communicated and handled. Policies and professionalism can coexist with compassion. I remain appreciative of the nursing staff and the quality of care that originally made me willing to travel more than 30 miles to this office. Unfortunately, the way this relationship ended has significantly changed my perception of a practice that I once thought very highly of.

Inaccurate Med reconciliation, physical assessment charting falsification and errors, labs and drug interactions issues (lack of knowledge), med errors, does not return pharmacy’s calls over Med errors. Too lazy to look stuff up or do his job, would not recommend as a RN.

Does not update medication reconciliation so medication refills are incorrect. Does not look up information he does not know like lab/drug interactions so results are not accurate. Cuts and pastes physical assessments between visits and does not edit with current findings. Does not assess things charted as assessed. As a RN, would not recommend. May be friendly, but cannot just make up assessment findings and fraudulent chart.

They take forever to call you back and that’s not good I will not be seeing dr baker or this office again I only gave one star
