I think Dr. Baker is the most wonderful surgeon that there is. I work in the medical field and the service I received from his staff is one you could only hope to get when going to the Dr. His staff consists of some former patients and they are wonderful to call and get help any time you need it. Dr. Baker himself will call you back if you have questions or problems. This group of people care about their patients and the really show it.
Dr. Baker keeps close tabs with frequent visits to his office to help with problems, do measures of your new body. Really makes your success feel great, his staff is as excited as you when you weigh in and weigh less.
Dr. Baker lets you know that there are risks to the surgery and is willing to address and actually sit down and talk with... [Click here for more] you and address these problems that may occur and any questions you have.
Dr. Baker is a very friendly personable Dr. who actually cares about his patients. He wants everyone to do great and helps prepare you for surgery so you are ready for the lifestyle changes.

Dr. Baker's group offers, by far the best, most comprehensive post-op care/support in the Twin Cities Area. I know of several people who have gone elsewhere, who after surgery felt as if they were completely on their own. I have never felt that way with the doctors and staff at Unity Hospital Bariatric Center. They walk you through every step of the process from pre-op weight loss and psych visits, to insurance approval and support groups, as well as yearly follow up visits. The only issue I had was a mix up with my IV fluid in the hospital. I was diabetic and they had me on a glucose drip when it should have been straight saline. It only meant I had to be on insulin in the hospital, but I went home off all my diabetes meds. Dr. Daniel Baker has been doing Gastric Bypass for... [Click here for more] almost 20 years, and my procedure took less than 2 hours. I was out of the hospital and back home in just two days, with Dr. Baker's pager number in my pocket. I never had to use it and felt awesome within two weeks. I would recommend anyone in the MPLS/St.Paul area looking into Bariatric Surgery to start at Unity Hospital in Fridley.

Dr. Dan Baker is wonderful. He's got such a good bedside manner, he listens to anything you've got to say, and genuinely cares about his patients.
Aftercare is SO important at Unity! You can call the clinic whenever, and the on-call doc will call you back within minutes if you're having problems or whatever. Never hesitate to call!
Overall I rate Dr. Baker a 10++
Awesome doctor. He's like a giant teddy bear once you get to know him. A little intimidating at first.
He has been doing WLS for over 25 years, so his competency is outstanding. I wouldn't go to anyone else.
Definitely I would and will recommend him to future patients for WLS. Posted on 10/17/2007 |

1) My first impression was that Dr. Baker was a little "out of it".
2) He turned out to be the most detailed and perfect surgeon I could have ever asked for. I was 413 and 6"3 when I had the open RnY and he left me with a 5 inch scar, which is unbelievable, and no pain at all. I am writing this 2 months out and I have not had 1 complication and I have lost a total of 119 pounds.
3) The staff at Unity is unbelievably helpful and committed to seeing that each patient be a sucess and succeed with this surgery.
I would highly reccomend having your surgery with this surgeron as he and his staff have a very thorough pre-op and post-op program that if followed will lead you to the promise land. Posted on 01/10/2007 |

Seems to be a very kind and knowledgeable man! He has a ‘presence’ about him. He’s appears quite calm and assured, and there's a sense of strength about him. I KNOW I’m in very capable hands! Posted on 10/18/2006 |

I thought he was very personable. He seemed very dedicated to his job and the lives of his patients.
His staff was very friendly and helpful.
I had some complications after surgery and he was on vacation and still responded to his pager and showed up at the hospital to see that I was okay. He is just so wonderful. He could have another doctor deal with me, but he took his job seriously and was an excellent doctor.
He has a great aftercare program that keeps you on task and he and his staff are always there if you have any questions or concerns.
He made me well aware of the risks and what the expectations were before and after surgery.
If I had to rate him, I would give him a 10 on a 1-10 scale or 100%.
His surgical competence and bedside manner were excellent... [Click here for more] and I couldn't have imagined any better.
