Ridgeview Medical Center Hospital

I picked Dr. Chute to do my surgery because he was the one who spoke at my informational seminare. He had a very calm and relaxed demeanor that made me calm. All of his office staff were wonderful, always ready to answer questions and or concerns that I had. He has a very strict aftercare program, according to him and his nurses he keeps his patients on a liquid and pureed diet a little longer than other doctors. I would rate Dr. Chute and his staff an A++++.His bedside manner and surgical competence both were great. I had a WONDERFUL experience with him.

I had my surgery on 6/1/10 and Dr. Jeff was awsome!!! he made me feel very comfortable and explained everything in detail and also listened to all my questions. I am now 5 days post op and feeling better everyday. I know I was in the best of care with the number #1 Surgeon.
THANK YOU DR. BAKER!

The surgeon was very \"matter of fact\" and focused on the surgery/procedure. Very little bedside manner in my professional opinion. I have no regrets.

So far Dr Jeff Baker has been great to work with. His staff is excellent and he has been very understanding with any questions or concerns that I have. He really puts you at ease!!

I had surgery on 7/21/09 and I would recommend Dr. Baker to anyone! He has a very gentle bedside manner. He is VERY knowledgeable and can answer any question you throw at him with a thorough answer on the spot! His mild manner was appealing to me. He isn't one of those surgeons with a god complex or one who treats you as if he is doing you a HUGE favor by doing your surgery. He and his office are easy to get in contact with if needed post op. I had to page him to ask a question about one of my incisions and he called me back within half an hour. He didn't make me feel stupid for paging him for a simple answer to a simple question and in fact thanked me for calling him. I could seriously go on and on about how great he is but there isn't enough space for that....

I am answering the questions to the left of this, my first impression of him was that he was VERY SERIOUS, competent surgeon. The office staff are all so very nice and professional. Best thing I liked about my Dr. was that he was very compentant and had been doing the surgical procedure for quite some time. Did not really emphasize on the aftercare programs, he did address the risks of surgery. I think he is a very nice, professional surgeon. When I first met him he was like I said a VERY SERIOUS person, but as we got to know each other I actually got him to smile and laugh. Both of his surgical competence and bedside manner are great!

Dr. Jeff has been great. I had surgery 9/24/07. My weight loss journey is difficult. I was doing well until I got reflux last summer, a bad case of the flu 9/08, walking pnemonia 2/9 and other stomach problems. I got to have an endoscope last month. Dr. Jeff is easy to reach for emergencies and doesn't give you the feelilng your being a pain. He is encouraging through all the ups and downs. The staff is great and positive. AFtercare is available and if you can make it-do it!I am so glad I chose him for my surgeon.

My first impression was that he is very kind and soft spoken. He answered all questions I had and made me feel at ease with the entire process. Great bedside manner and surgical competence. I'd rate him a 10!

2007 Follow up/aftercare:He exceeds my expectations. He really takes a personal interest in each and every patient. He doesn't make you feel rushed and makes sure you don't have any questions and that you understand the guidelines you need to follow. Dr. Jeff is WONDERFUL!!!

2009 2 Year Follow Up! I had my 2 year check up yesterday. Still the same fantastic doctor! He reiterated to call/page him when having problems, went over the band basics,etc. Such a personable doctor and he and his staff make you feel welcome in his office. Fantastic!

2012 4.5 years f/u: Dr. Jeff his office staff are great! Work with you and find a solution that works best for you. Still same great place. Such a wonderful place.

Really loved everything they did. The staff was very helpful and there for anything I needed. Along with the RNY he also found a hernia that he fixed at the same time.

Hi everyone, my name is Kim D. and I had lap band surgery with Dr. Jeff Baker. Since the moment I started the program I was impressed with the professionalism and care that I received both from Dr. Baker and all of the staff that I encountered. Since the lap band requires maintainance, I was in the clinic about every 6 weeks and was very happy with how my fills were handled. I was told that I could page him at any time if I had a concern and one time when I was overfilled, was able to come in right away and get some fluid taken out. I would recommend Dr. Jeff Baker to anyone considering this surgery. Great surgeon and overall nice person who cares about what he does. I've lost over 100 lbs. and thank Dr. Baker for this change in my life. Yahoo!!
