This was my first visit with Dr. Baker and I was pleased with the visit. He was reassuring and I was pleased he had reviewed the tests results taken within the last two years before seeing me. He also answered a follow up question on the portal very quickly and this was wonderful.

Thank you, Dr. Baker, for knowing so much of my medical history at Vanderbilt Heart as my story began there in 2014. He explained medical options so well going forward for my treatment now, while clearly demonstrating a caring spirit for me and my well-being.
