Dr. Baker has been committed to providing state-of-the-art care for the obese patient since 2000. Since that time, he has performed over 2500 weight loss procedures including Roux en Y gastric bypass, vertical sleeve gastrectomy, banding procedures, endoscopy procedures as well revisional bariatric procedures. He remains on the forefront of new and innovative bariatric approaches that best supports the patient before, during and long after surgery to ensure their greatest success in a commitment to health.
"Surgical options and techniques continue to evolve," states Dr. Baker. "When I began in practice with my Father, we were using strictly the open technique." Since 2005, Dr. Baker transitioned his practice to the laparoscopic surgical technique and today uses this technique almost exclusively. "Laparoscopic surgery is proven to be less invasive for the patient and allows for a much faster recovery time." Today the vertical sleeve gastrectomy is a leading surgical procedure for patients. Although this procedure is not a new procedure, it was not until 2009 that insurance companies began to pay for this procedure as a stand alone operation. Prior to that, the sleeve was the first of a two part operation reserved for the super obese patient. The patient would undergo sleeve surgery, lose 150 to 200 pounds, and then undergo a secondary surgery for continued weight loss. Results demonstrated that many patients never required this second operation to continue with their weight loss and insurance capitalized on that data. "Since I began performing this procedure, my results demonstrate significant weight loss that approaches the weight loss of the Roux en Y patients," notes Dr. Baker. "It has been a successful alternative for our patients." Dr. Baker has also consulted on many transfer of care patients in need of revisional surgery. Having training in endoscopic procedures, Dr. Baker is able to offer patient's both laparoscopic and endoscopic options for his patients.
Dr. Baker recognizes that obesity is a complex and multifactorial disease. He understands the importance of supporting each patient not just up to the surgery itself but for years to follow to ensure each patient the greatest opportunity for success. This level of care and understanding has resulted in the Baker name being associated with excellent outcomes as well providing a great referral base for friends and family members.
