"10/15/01 I was so impressed by the fact that Dr. Baker made a point to answer each and every question fully...and made sure that I understood the answers. He is knowledgable, kind, and really knows his business. I appreciate the fact that not only was he point blank and honest, but he let me know that MMPC would be there for the entire journey, not just the surgery. 1/29/02 As of today I can say that I am impressed with Dr. Baker's skill as a surgeon, however, the one appointment I had with him and a brief second in the Pre op holding area were the only two times I talked to him. He has a P.A. who does a lot of his leg work, but I am not sure at this point how I feel about him because he and the nutritionist were getting their wires crossed while I was in the hospital, and I went from a promote protein drink that made me sick (his suggestion) to CIB that made me not quite as sick (her suggestion) back to promote which continued to make me sick. I haven't quite made up my mind what my general opinion of him is yet. 3/20/02 I do have to say that I did get to see Dr. Baker at my second post op appointment, and I was glad about that...he was very encouraging. His P.A. seems to have a better attitude also, in fact has been quite pleasant. I guess we are all allowed a bad day once in a while! :)"
"The second shift nurse and aide I had both days were absolutely wonderful!! The third shift nurses were always very busy but were very attentive. I didn't particularly care for the nurse in xray who wasn't particularly sensitive to slow moving patients after surgery. In preop, the staff was absolutely terrific...I got a bit teary, and they were very comforting. Overall wonderful experience."
