About Dr. Baker

My Philosophy:

I wanted to take this opportunity to describe a few of the principles upon which I have built my practice in plastic and reconstructive surgery. Above all else, I am totally committed to providing the absolute best quality of care to my patients. I always bring my perfectionism and my meticulousness to bear on every surgical procedure I perform. I will not accept anything less than the very best I can do and neither should anyone who is considering having an elective surgical procedure.

At the Baker Center for Plastic Surgery, we understand that every aspect of your care impacts the overall experience of being treated. The quality of the experience is determined when calling for an appointment, sitting in the waiting room, during the initial consultation, during the surgery itself, during the recovery period, and when you're seen in the office for follow up. We want you to know that we are here for you every step of the way, no matter what.
