We work for your health


Our goal is to get you healthy as soon as possible. Everyone in our practice is committed to providing  quality, efficient, and accurate patient service. That is our pledge to you.


We accept Medicare and most commercial insurance plans. Please call to confirm that we are contracted with your plan.  We will need information from your insurance card, so please have it available when you call. There are so many plans and variations of plans with insurance carriers that it is not practical or accurate to try to list them on this website. 


We accept and treat worker's compensation patients. If fact, Dr. Baker is an expert in worker's compensation and has been a Division of Worker's Compensation  Designated Doctor since coming to Texas in 2005. 

Please call early after your injury so that we can determine if your carrier is contracted with us and if we will need a referral for us to treat you. We may need information from your referring physician, or your adjuster, case manager, or employer. We treat many worker's compensation patients, and we take pride in our ability to quickly and completely complete all paperwork to get you the care you need. 


We are an independent surgical practice. Because we are independent, wer bave no bias is where you are referred for therapy, imaging, lab testing, etc. If you have a preference of where you would like to be seen, please let us know, and if the facility is appropriate for your condition, we can refer you to that facility.

We realize that you have a choice of where to get your medical care, and we appreciate it when you allow us to provide care for you. You are not a profit-center. You are a person, and we treat you the way that we would want to be treated.
