"Had my pre-op visit with Dr Baker. He was so encouraging and nice. He really made me feel at ease. He seemed as excited as I am about this new phase in my life. I had heard that he was direct and would get on to people if they weren't making changes in their life to prepare for surgery. I have made changes, but was still nervous about meeting him. I really thought he was going to grill me and make me prove that I wanted the surgery. So many people had told me he'd do that. He didn't do that at all. He asked very good questions to make sure that I've thoroughly considered everything, but wasn't too direct or cold like I had expected. In fact, he was just the opposite. I feel very good about having him as my doctor, and really like him as a person. "
