Baker Tahirih T MD

Dr. Baker has received a variety of recognition for the quality of health care she provides her patients. Perhaps on the health care side, she’s a great doctor, but in every other aspect — eh — not so much.
Appointments with her need to be scheduled months in advance, so you better know ahead of time when you’re going to be sick. And from my very first appointment with her to every appointment after, I was made to wait in the exam room sans clothing for no fewer than 45 minutes, even longer than an hour.
At my last visit, she recommended a cancer screen — ok, well gotta do that, right? Don’t want to take a chance and DIE, do I? So I go in and get charged $ 450 dollars. WHAT? I have insurance that covers these types of procedures. Why am I being charged? Well, because she coded it as a medical need. If she coded the procedure differently, I still would have had the procedure, she would have gotten paid, and I wouldn’t have been charged. It’s a win-​win party! What’s the problem, here?
I disputed this situation three times, and each time, Dr. Baker refused to change the code. While Dr. Baker may be sensitive to patients’ health care needs, she is completely insensitive patients’ comfort and other needs (like money and the ability to pay bills), she lacks all consideration for patients as people. I am seriously disillusioned and will never return to her.
