Virginia Baker, DO

As a healthcare worker who’s worked for valley health and other establishments I am appalled by valley health’s gynecologist Virginia Baker on commerce ave. I had my first gynecology appointment since having a miscarriage and for the first time I was completely shocked at how much this doctor talked over me, and made me feel unheard. I am such a laid back person, and today after leaving I felt broken. I have never sat in front of a doctor who just talked over the patient the way she did to me. And if she would have let me talk, every “recommendation” she made I was trying to tell her I’ve already done. I also told her my previous doctor who I worked with recommended I get tested for PCOS due to other members of my family having it and she looked at me like I was crazy and the doctor who wanted it done. She also called me overweight not once, but in several other ways and if she had let me talk she would know I’ve done absolutely everything I can to lose weight and the struggles I’ve… had with it. She was very rude and lacked bedside manners. During my Pap smear not one time did she ask if I felt any discomfort at all, I’ve worked beside many doctors giving Pap smears and have always k ow doctors to check on their patients during an exam as such. When trying to explain to her my symptoms I’ve had for some time she immediately told me “that’s normal”. She also told me that “this wasn’t the appointment” to go into detail further of my symptoms.I don’t know everything but I’m very smart when it comes to keeping up to date with everything changing in the medical field and things inside my scope of practice. Today I was talked to like a dummy. Do yourself a favor and stay away from Virginia Baker.

I love her. She is such a wonderful and caring doctor. She listened to what I had to say and answered my questions throughly. She is amazing

Dr. Baker is awesome. I was recenlty a new patient. She listened patiently, shows respect, reviewed my history, and made me feel like she really cares. I love Dr. Baker! She was absolutely wonderful.

Lets face it no one looks forward to having a PAP smear done yearly. My doctor retired recently and it was almost time for my yearly. I decide to make an appointment with Dr. Baker. I can say she listened to my concerns and addressed my problems. I will say I have found myself a new ob/gyn. She was very caring and made me feel at ease and for that I am thankful.
