Patient Reviews
Sep 16, 2023
I came in the ER and lucky for me Dr Baker was the one on call. I was septic and usually that takes a culture but he somehow diagnosed me with the infection quickly took me to surgery cleaned out what he could watch me and I see you took me back to surgery and finished up it's a miracle that I lived. Dr Baker saved my life. I like to call him my superhero.
