Patient Reviews
Oct 14, 2024
Dr. Baker and his nurse practitioner Christine were both very polite and professional. I was treated for an infected area which had been slow to improve . To complicate thisI had just received a heart valve replacement . Dr. Baker.s simple compression technique along with orientation of the effected area with rest resulted in a fast and significant improvement reduction on swelling of the infected area was dramatic and less than a 24 hour Period . Thanks to both Dr Baker andChristine I will be back to my normal activities rapidly thank you Tom Hamm
