When I first met him I just thought he was great! I just felt so comfortable with him, I knew that I was in good hands and that he would do everything possible to help my experience be a productive and positive one. My impression of him is still the same. I know that I can call upon him at any given time and he will give me the time and respect that I need to make sure all ends are tied down. for those of you looking for a surgeon, I just have to tell you, he is the greatest. when i was in the hospital, he came to my room and filled me with such positvie energy that I got out of my bed and walked the halls like I owned them. I owe so much to you Dr. Baker, you gave me the tools I needed to move on with my life and live it to its fullest, and for that...I will spend the rest of my life thanking you.
I can't say enough good things about Dr. Jeff. He is a very soft-spoken and understanding doctor. When you meet him he immediately puts you at ease and makes you feel comfortable. He takes time to listen, explain, and answer questions. Dr. Jeff doesn't leave you high and dry after your surgery like I've heard some surgeons do - he is very involved in his patients' aftercare. He is an excellent doctor and surgeon, and I would highly recommend him to anyone considering weight loss surgery!rn
Dr. Jeff, as we all call him, is so caring and easy to talk to. He really listens to your concerns and explains all the doctor mumble jumble in a way that easy to understand. He has a wonderful sense of humor and is so knowledgeable about bariatrics. He is a beliver in the Lap-band and is very supportive in the aftercare. He is awesome about following up on any concerns and can be reached easily, he always calls back, would never leave you hanging. If I had to rate him on a scale of 1-10 he gets a 100 from me. He is the real deal, total surgical competence with an incredible bedside manner. He'd blush if he read this though.
This program at Unity seems to be really good (of course that is why I would pick them) I am just nervous because I have yet to meet a doctor (other than the info meeting). Diane is very helpful and wonderful. She always answers my phone calls and tells me the way it is ~ something I love about her. I like my information straight forward.
Dr. Jeffrey Baker is a very nice, understanding and sympathetic surgeon. His nurse Darla is just a delighful lady to speak with.rnrnI can't say there's anything you should be prepared for except that it takes about a month to schedule any appointment there usually.rnrnHe addressed the risks with me for this surgery but did agree that the risks do not outweigh the benefits.rnrnI would rate Dr. Baker a 10.
My first impression at our first meeting was awesome. He answered everyone of my questions and fears. He was a very kind DR. The day of surgery when he talked to me before going under he knew I was scared and told me I would be taken care of personally. What a guy!!!! Visits in the hospital were very good by him and after. After a month out I requred seeing him on a weekly basis due to my incision not healing and major cramping/nausea. With the help of Anna one of his assistants and himself they took EXCELLENT care and time to figure out what was going on. Come to find out I was B1 defficient. They gave me the low down and told me what to do and Now I feel GREAT!!!! I just loved visiting with him because he had such a kind heart and high spirit about him. I cant wait to see him on my 1 yr anniversary!!! Thanks Dr. Baker!!!!!!!!
