Dr. Baker is one of the kindest and most professional doctors I've ever met. He's extraordinarily talented, but he's also one of the most down to earth people I've ever met. His staff is also first rate. I always look forward to my appointments with him. It's a pleasure to work with them, and I feel lucky to know them.

I've gone to Dr. Baker for a rhinoplasty and for a lip lift and both times I was very happy with my results. You can tell from talking with him that he's very knowledgeable and can tell you what the best way is to get the results you want. He isn't afraid to tell you when something won't look good, either, which I like!

We really enjoyed working with Dr. Baker. We met him through the INOVA Cleft clinic team and he performed the reconstructive surgery on our 9 month old's palate. The reconstruction looks beautiful and our experience with Dr. Baker showed his care for her. His staff at the McLean branch always made sure our appts went smoothly!

Dr. Baker and his entire team are a wonderful group of people! The staff is courteous and pleasant. They have a way of making you feel like family. Christina is absolutely amazing! Dr. Baker is truly gifted in his field. I am so pleased with my care and with the results of my surgery. Even more outstanding than the level of physical and obligatory medical care is the personal attention and genuine regard I feel each time I interact with Dr. Baker and his team. I felt at ease and well-cared for from the minute my initial consultation began through the time my procedure occured and throughout recovery
