It took me YEARS to by sheer luck be placed with a provider like Brandon Baker. I am a “uniquely challenging“ case, & often find providers don’t take the time to actually HEAR the client behind the confusing stigmas-in my case, of multiple-diagnoses, trying to live with chronic mental illness(es), shifting day to day. So it astounds me the amount of patience & compassion Brandon Baker has put into helping me survive these last few/worst years of my life. Especially with such a complicated case, I was often one to fall through the cracks of the mental healthcare system, & by the time I landed in Dr. Baker’s care I had developed a literal FEAR of new providers. Especially male providers, as I am female. But from the very 1st appt, Dr. Baker made me feel 💯% safe & at ease😊 He has a very kind & calm demeanor, therefore soothing that pit of anxiety I used to get before appts w/ other doctors, where I felt I was about to be inaccurately assessed or unfairly treated. Lifestance in general has been wonderful to work with, but I think Dr. Baker in particular deserves recognition as a rare & unique type of mental healthcare provider. He is able to see you as a whole PERSON. Not just as a tagged diagnosis or as simply suffering from “severe anxiety”, as so many other doctors throughout the medical field are so quick to dismiss as. He is super down to earth, which makes him very easy to talk to, & he listens instead of interrupting or dismissing, & validates what you are experiencing, exercising patience & measured precautions in treatment/diagnosing, while at the same time making sure your symptoms are being accurately treated, closely monitored, & acts quickly to help find other solutions if necessary. It is difficult to find the right words to thank a provider who finally takes the time to SEE you after the trauma of being bounced around the system for over a decade, making you feel like maybe you’re just a hopeless case & you’ll never find someone who will take the time to understand your unique situation. I guess the single one thing I can do is to finally put out this review & say to others out there who can relate to not give up, there ARE providers that will listen & who DO care, & that Dr. Brandon Baker is the one who finally stood up to the challenge & stuck by me. Because of him, I survived things that on my own I likely could not have made it through. The entire team at Lifestance has been wonderful to work with, incredibly helpful, compassionate & supportively accommodating, renewing my belief that it IS worth it to keep trying, not to just settle & submit to thinking being poorly treated or misunderstood by your own providers is the best it’s going to get. Thanks for reading🙏 5-10-20-100+ STAR RATING⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Dr. Baker doesn’t just grow on you as a down to earth, vested, committed and candid psychiatrist (who’s a rarity among medication managers working within a limited scope)— he’ll win you over as an altruistic and outstanding human being. I admittedly started working with Dr Baker in the typical “monthly medication management” capacity; however, as it became evident in our working together that I could make more meaningful and multidimensional progress with more frequent appointments that hybridized psychopharmacology with psychotherapy, he broke the “MMM” mold to wear two hats, psychiatrist and psychotherapist, and after two and a half years of, on average, weekly visits, I feel the opposite toward him as a doctor as I have with other psychiatrists ; that is, rather than experience exponential progress early in the working relationship that attenuates or stagnates causing patients to move on or abandon treatment… I feel each session I get more and more out of. Dr. Baker is outstanding.

After two years of treatment and almost 100 hour long appointments with Dr. Baker, my mental health has improved markedly, measurably, and meaningfully. I’ve never met a provider who’s astute yet humble, uncannily observant yet approachable, relaxed yet rock solid reliable and reassuring. Dr. Baker unfailingly, amazingly, always has found a way to help me when I feel I’m at my worst. He listens to me carefully and respectfully during sessions, asking intermittently thought provoking or enlightening kinds of questions that lead me to a better understanding of myself and my issues. When it comes to medication, he honors my opinions and thoughts and reservations. And after taking these into account and explaining his recommendation, I’ve never left a session feeling pessimistic or apprehensive about what he’d be sending to the pharmacy. Lastly, Dr. Baker is a pleasure to talk to. He is down to earth and approachable, and I actually genuinely enjoy and look forward to our appointments.

Dr. Baker is an amazing healer who’s the most committed, patient and steadfast psychiatrist I have ever met. He listens intently to his patients, and honors and treats their unique array of challenges experiences with world-class level care. He is incredibly knowledgeable, and has taught me so much about psychopharmacology over years of working with him. Further, he is equally skilled when it comes to various modalities of psychotherapy, which he integrates seamlessly into his appointments with patients. Although his two-person team is lean and not precisely an office, this allows him to give highly individualized care, astoundingly never letting anything fall through the cracks. He and his admin provide top-notch, tailored care. I am so grateful to this man for all the time, attention and insight he has given me. I can’t say enough positive things, nor offer a stronger endorsement. He is a standout psychiatrist to me and I’m sure everyone he sees. Thank you, Dr. Baker!

Dr.Baker, you really made me second guess you! I have been going to this office for about 6 months, and I originally would see the NP (Karen) who no longer is in this office, and each month I had a totally different physician, in my opinion as a Certified Nurse, felt difficult to do, because I had to repeat everything from the beginning to explain how I am doing with my treatment. I felt that this field of specialist, each appointment is crucial, and one month I had the honor to meet Dr. Baker, and after I explaining my progress he was absolutely caring to my history and did not feel like he ever rushed me, or toned me out. I was so happy, he is the best!!!!!! Listened, had my file right in front, gave me advice and even options if I felt I needed any changes. My medicine was sent to my pharmacy, in which I had a text message seconds after my visit that it was ready for pick up at Publix. Normally I always had to call the office three to four times. REQUEST Dr. BAKER!!

My views on this office has really changed, in the best way possible after Dr. Baker began providing his services here. Dr. Baker has helped me so much through my journey in bettering my mental health. He really cares about his patients and wants to see them succeed. He has changed my views and feelings about psychiatrists forever. He doesn’t just stick pills down your throat, he gets in detail in finding the best thing for your particular need. Thank you so for excellent care and for helping me believe in myself. I am forever grateful to have found this place. I also want to thank, what it appears to be new staff? The person that helps me with my prescriptions (forgot her name) is so professional and really gets the job done. Even calls back when she has spoken to pharmacy. Thank you again!
