Dr Baird cares about his patients. He is thorough and honest and straight forward with his assessments. I respect him as he will always take the time to review everything and make an educated and thought out decision.

I have been a patient of Dr. Baird's for a few years. He recently won the Oschner physician of the year award based on patient and peer ratings. I can see why. My wait time is shorter than at any other of my Dr.'s. He has personally made follow up calls on his own time to see how I was doing.
