When I saw Mr Baker in clinic, for my minor op and in follow up conversations, he was very kind, thoughtful and empathetic. He took time to carefully discuss and explain my problem and was reassuring re potential outcomes. I felt in very expert, safe and caring hands. He has a lovely, gentle manner and sense of humour. I am very grateful for his care and happy to highly recommend. Thank you, too, to the staff at The Alexandra Hospital.

Following my 6 week review with Mr Baker, I just honestly cannot praise him enough. The professionalism, his immense wealth of knowledge in the field, his manner, and everything in between. The service I have received is absolutely impeccable! Should I wish to undergo any future surgeries I will definitely be contacting Mr Baker. Throughout my procedure from consultation to after surgery, I have been so well looked after and felt so confident being under Mr Bakers care and having him undertake my revision. I truly cannot thank you enough.

I cannot recommend my surgeon highly enough. From my first consultation through to my ongoing follow-up appointments, the care, professionalism, and support I have received have been exceptional. His communication throughout the entire process has been outstanding. He took the time to talk me through all of my options for treatment and reconstruction, explaining everything clearly and thoroughly. This enabled me to make a fully informed decision and gave me complete confidence in the treatment plan. The quality of information provided was excellent, and everything was explained in a way that was easy to understand. The quality of the reconstruction has exceeded my expectations, and I am extremely happy with the results of my DIEP flap reconstruction so far. His skill, expertise, and attention to detail are evident, and I am incredibly grateful for the excellent work he has done. Although I am still recovering, the follow-up care and support have been outstanding. I have felt very well looked after throughout my journey. His kindness, professionalism, and genuine commitment to patient care have made what could have been a very difficult experience much easier to navigate. I am truly thankful for the care I have received and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone considering breast reconstruction surgery. His combination of exceptional surgical expertise, excellent communication, and patient-centred care is second to none, and I am very grateful to be under his care.

After losing 7 stone, I began my surgical journey and met with three different surgeons before making my decision. From my very first consultation, I instantly felt at ease with Mr Baker and knew I was in the safest and most capable hands. My surgery involved a breast uplift and an abdominoplasty with liposuction, despite having previous abdominal scarring. During my initial consultation, Mr Baker took the time to understand my overall goals, whether my weight loss was stable, whether I planned to have any more children, and what the safest and most appropriate surgical plan would be for me. This was followed by a face-to-face consultation, where he assessed me personally and explained the potential outcomes, risks and precautions particularly to ensure good blood flow and healing during the abdominal surgery. On the morning of my first surgery, Mr Baker came to see me personally, completed the surgical markings and made sure everything was accurate. When I woke from surgery, he returned to explain exactly what had been done and what the next steps would be. I also saw Jac, the wound nurse specialist, a week later, and everything was progressing really well. Because my recovery was initially so positive, Mr Baker felt it was safe for me to proceed with my second surgery just eight weeks later. Unfortunately, my body unexpectedly rejected the dissolvable stitches, causing the T-junction to break down and open. Although this was something completely outside of anyone's control, Mr Baker and his entire team were absolutely incredible throughout. They supported me, monitored...

Miss Baker Listens to you as the patient. He Understands your concerns And Provides all scenarios and what would be the best approach for your circumstances. I'm really pleased with How My procedure has Turned out I know there needs to be more time for both breasts to settle but based on what I thought I was facing into before I had my first appointment with Mr Baker to now I'm really really pleased that I chose to see him. He's given me the best solution which is a lot less invasive than I thought I would need and this is really important because of what I've been through in terms of the breast cancer diagnosis. so Helping me get to a point where I'm much happier with my body is priceless
