Dr. Baker cares for children and adult patients in our Ridgefield Park location 6 days/week, Monday thru Saturday. When asked to describe his approach to patient care, he explains, “I approach the patient as a whole. As we get older, more and more of our medical issues are due to several factors – lifestyle, and otherwise – and therefore, it is critical for me as the healthcare provider to respect this complexity and provide the patient not only with cures for their ailments, but also a plan on how to lead a life that will prevent such ailments in the future. To care for someone’s child, father, mother, or grandparent is one of the greatest responsibilities I can imagine having, and I embrace it with the utmost seriousness and care”.
