Dr. Baker and his staff were all friendly, courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. They spent sufficient time with me explaining things clearly and answering questions to my satisfaction. The office wait times were short, the surgery and recovery went perfectly. I couldn't ask for a better experience given the circumstances.

I was blessed to be assigned to Dr. Danial D Opheim. He is so professional, pleasant and personable. He, Dr Opheim puts you at ease and explains precedures. Before surgery Dr Opheim visited me in pre op and then again after surgery. I Definitely and highly recommend Dr Opheim for your "butt" Doctor.;-

Dr. Baker is a very arrogant doctor who doesn't listen to what you have to say. No bedside manner whatsoever and does not explain anything in detail. It's amazing how we as people let people get away with such rudeness and think this is okay. I'm sorry doctors put on their pants just like I do they are not God even though some think they are! Being a medical professional like a doctor true compassion and listening skills is a must.
If you don't have compassion, integrity and manners than healthcare is not for you! It would help if these Doctors take a class on basic manners and etiquette.the young doctors are not any better matter of fact they are worse. They don't care if you live or die especially if your age 65 and older they have already written you off before they even treat you!
