Dr. Baker was recommended to me by physicians a family member who is a patient, as well as friends. His reputation throughout the Roanoke Valley is stellar. I feel very fortunate to be under his care. My surgery is scheduled in very near future and while nervous, Dr. Baker has eased my fears. I trust him and have confidence in him.

I was very fortunate to have been able to schedule my CABGx3 with Dr. Baker. I was aware of his excellent reputation and he was absolutely my first choice as well as that of my cardiologist.

Dr. showed model of heart and the implant. I had no fear of the procedure. He explained in terms that were simple and he did not put on any "I' am this dr." above the person, that made me fell at ease.
