This dr was a lifesaver she treated my husband Scott with 25 rounds of immunotherapy although he lost his cancer battle July 31st 2023 in my arms and it was beautiful. The life saved was mine as his wife I knew he could not be saved we were only buying time Dr. Dupuis equipped me through her...

Heather Apr 11 2024

Review for Dr. Dupuis

Enjoyed my appointment with DR Baker. Very informative and easy to talk to.

David Apr 06 2024

Review for Dr. Baker II

She is very attentive and thorough. I have been seeing her for about 3 years. She detected issues that i had no clue was going on. In my opinion She is worth my 45 mile drive.

Carolyn Byford Apr 05 2024

Review for Samantha Greer

Dr Knox should not perform procedures on human patients. Experience matters and from my experience, his outcomes are catastrophic. Go far away from this provider

Sammy Sicard Mar 31 2024

Review for Dr. Knox

Dr Baker spent time to make sure I knew what to expect and what to do about different issues. He cared about drug costs and did his best to minimize them.
