First time seeing Dr Baker as I was transitioning care from another provider. I'm very happy with the change. He's a good fit for me. He gave me recommendations about my screen time usage and sunscreen which I needed to hear. He also asked questions about my mood. I like how he made it seem normal and ok to be sad and anxious and that he and his other colleagues were looking for kids my age that are struggling and need help. If I was having trouble I would have been comfortable telling him about it. No one has asked it that way before.
