John Baker
"<strong>Surgeon:</strong>Aug. 2001 - Have not seen Dr. Baker Yet officially. I did get to meet him briefly at a "maintenance" seminar he held recently at Barnes & Noble. (July 2001) It was my impression that he seemed kind, caring, attentive to detail and expects compliance from his patients. So far I am satisfied with Dr. Baker. Consultation is Aug. 30 at 8:30 AM.<BR> <center><a href="http://www.obesity-surgery.net" target="_new"><img src="http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/hprofile-ak-snc4/203450_100002254518963_3637829_n.jpg" width=195 height=140 alt="Dr. John W. Baker"><br><b>Visit Dr. Bakers Website [Click Here]</b></a></center> <BR> <b>08-30-01</b> Met with Dr Baker for consultation. He is very thorough and really takes an interest in me as a person. I have heard horror stories about him and in my case, they are simply not true. <BR> <strong>Staff:</strong> Feb 2001: - Office staff quickly emailed me forms to complete and tests to have done before my initial consultation. Staff is very congenial on the phone and makes you feel at ease.<BR> <strong>Updated Aug 29, 2001 -</strong> Staff called to inform me that my paperwork was not in order and that they needed a letter from my PCP stating that I had been under care for weight loss for at least two years. This letter was actually FAXED to them on or around June 1, 2001. They misplaced it.... AGAIN!<BR> I recommend to anyone that they get personal copies of ALL correspondence with their PCP and surgeon so that last minute oversights can be avoided. <BR>I was also told about a $235.00 PRE-PAYMENT to the surgeons office today. I dont have that kind of money on such short notice. I was able to arrange that payment be made in a few days. BE AWARE!! You may have to make some sort of payment up front. ASK! ASK! and ASK again!!! <BR><font size=2> <i>*NOTE* This is just my experience with Dr.'s staff. I know they are busy people and have lots of patients to deal with, but you would think that they would have a better way of dealing with incoming paperwork.</i></font> <BR> <br> <b>St Vincents Hospital</b> After Baptist had problems with my bed being broken, I was switched to St. Vincent's. I would have received good care at either facility, but in my opinion, I got EXCELLENT care at St. Vincents. The Nursing staff is top notch and the aides were also well versed in caring for a bariatric patient. Thanks to everyone at St. Vincents. <br>Hi Iola!!(The Best Nurse next to Sandy!)"
