Dr Baker is the best doctor around

Dr Baker always takes the time to have conversations with my boys. He explains everything throughly to both myself and my sons. He’s gentle and caring, and I love the knowledge he has from his years of service. He is very reserved with medication and testing as well. Any family would be lucky to have him as their doctor.

Dr. Baker, along with a few others, is one of the only pediatricians we will see in that office because he was from the previous Hudson Valley Pediatrics staff of doctors. Those doctors had a peticular bedside manner with patients and gave you very personal care instead of being another number in the crystal run takeover. Dr. Baker is one of the kindest and most gentle mannered doctors and makes patients and parents feel at ease. He is not quick to medicate and jump to a quick resolution without hearing all symptoms. Dr. Baker reminds me of the pediatricians that I grew up with that would call to check up on children and give that extra personal care. He hugs us everytime we have come in for a visit. It makes the visit so wonderful.
