Dr. Baker is my primary cardiologist and this was my annual check up with him. We reviewed the events of the past year which were handled successfully due to his care and referrals.

One of the best doctor interactions I've had at Vanderbilt. Dr Baker really listened, and was t just thinking of the next thing to say. Dr Baker was also very forthcoming about necessary and unnecessary tests (since my visit was preventative). He also took the time to explain everything, and ask if I had further questions. He did not seem hurried.
