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.

I had surgery with Dr Baker - was quick & painless
I give Dr Baker a 5 star review because he is very professional especially about sensitive area's and he is quick to work. I went to the Spanish fork hospital and met up with Dr. Baker and everything was so fast and easy, I was amazed. I thought it was going to be harder than that. Not only that but Dr. Baker uses Biodegradable stitches that just disappear after a few months so you only need 1 visit to the hospital.

I have had two surgeries with Dr Baker. This last time I had appendicitis but was so relieved when I saw he was the doctor on call and would be doing my surgery. He does a great job! Follow up was good. Easy to schedule an appointment and didn't have any wait in his office, like you might expect with other doctors. Friendly staff.
