Dr. Jeff has been really exceptional. I have truly enjoyed working with him....

My impression firstly and forever following was that Doctor Jeff Baker is about the sweetest, most sincere doctor I had ever met. He takes all the time you need to talk out fears and ask questions, never making you feel that you are taking up his time. He is sincere, warm, informative, and just plain nice! I honestly can't say enough things about the Baker group in Fridley, Minnesota. THey are the best! I am only 10 days post-op but feel very cared for in every aspect of the process. THey make insurance easy. I did nothing to help that process along, and they had me approved in 10 days. The one thing I know I couldn't make it without is the after care and support. THey cover it all. Nurses from his group visited me every day in the hospital and held classes for us to learn how to "eat" our liquids and care for ourselves when we got home.

The Baker group exceeded my expectations and I would recommend them wholeheartedly.

I was very impressed with Dr. Baker and his staff. My nurse Sandy answered every question with great clariaty. I feel I can call whenever and she'll get me my answer very quickly. Dr Baker has been doing this type of surgery for 10 years (that's all he does and obviously does it well.) His after care program is quite different from others but the results of those who follow the program speak for themself. I am very excited to have my surgery

Dr. Chute was very candid, knowledgeable, kind, and supportive. I was in very good hands all the way!!

Dr. Jeff was very friendly and compassionate... and cute!
The office staff was great to work with...as most of them have had the surgery too!
Aftercare is VERY important to Dr. Baker. He HIGHLY recommends attending a support group, which he has all over the state of Minnesota.
I would recommend ANYONE considering WLS to go to Dr. Baker!

The only thing that I was not totally thrilled about was the staff at the hospital. Most of the RN's were good, but I had a couple of bad CNA's!

First impression was he was very kind and knowledgable and that he and his staff want me to succeed

I have the same impression

Incredibly professional and non-judgemental

n/a

His practice and collegues are top of the line. I feel very fortunate to have him as my surgeon.

Aftercare is definately emphasized and strongly recommended and is in the whole realm of the procedure.

He addressed the risks professional. Straight forward.

1-10...10 being the best. Without a doubt 10

Both are necessary

I had Dr. Jeff Baker and am so glad I did. He is an awesome man. His bedside manner is unmatched.
From the first time I met with him, I became much more relaxed about my surgery. Everyone in the Bariatric Center is so wonderful!
A very important part of my program with Dr. Baker and his office is aftercare. The surgery is such a small part of the journey. Aftercare is what is important!
I researched different hospitals, clinics and surgeons for so long and am glad I did. I have heard many scary stories from friends and family from other local centers. I feel fortunate to have had who I did.
I did not have to have staples either! Dr. Jeff stitched from the inside and then put an adhesive sheet over the wound for a week. You wouldn't believe how small the scar is already!
Unity Hospital is the greatest! The staff was wonderful, and I felt so at home there. I am surprised about that, because I love being home. Nowhere else matches up.

Dr. Jeff Baker is in the Unity Hospital Bariatric Center. Dr. Jeff is a wonderful, warm and funny guy, very thorough with information and very honest. Answered all my questions and is always available to his patients. The Center is considered the gold standard!
