I am EXTREMELY satisfied with the care received from Karen Baker! I have referred a couple friends and family members who are also pleased with the service she provides. Karen responds quickly to questions, concerns, test results, etc. I feel as though she always sees the "big picture" of my overall health... She makes sure she receives any and all reports from other doctors, especially those that are not part of UR Medicine My Chart, She Is very thorough in reviewing medical history and in recognizing/recommending additional tests, vaccinations, etc. You will have a complete understanding of your medical health as one of her patients. This is greatly appreciated!
