Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Jim Baker is the best!

Dr.Baker is a rude man does not listen to his patients. I would not recommend no one to go to this Doctor. He’s just very unprofessional.

This man was irritable, condescending and rude. I have never had a Dr. grit his teeth at me because I asked a question more than once. It was really unnecessary the way he behaved and I’m almost embarrassed to tell the story because it’s so unbelievable! I would definitely not recommend this Dr. especially to anyone that is incapable of looking out for themself. He’s a hot head and should not be allowed to be assigned patients!
