This was a standard annual wellness check and I felt good. I could have easily decided that visit wasn't necessary. Fortunately, I didn't since my heart rate was at 145 although I felt totally normal. Dr. Baird referred me to a Cardialogist who immediately referred me to the ER. It took 12 days in ICU to finally get the heart rate down to normal in order to do a cardiacablation which was very successful. My heart is now operating normally.

He is consistently encouraging, patient, and kind. He listens attentively, addresses concerns with thoughtful insight, and explains medical information clearly and carefully.

I can't say enough good things about Dr Baird. He was incredibly patient and helpful in dealing with not just me but family that came as well. The visit was supposed to be 20 minutes but coincidentally I had been hospitalized unexpectedly the Saturday before the appointment. Remarkably he had already reviewed the extensive hospital record which included a number of significant tests. As a result of the unexpected hospitalization, the appointment ended up lasting almost an hour which must have ruined his schedule. But he never acted as though was keeping him from others. It was just such an appreciated approach that it is hard to fully describe how grateful I feel

I love Dr. Baird. He's really the best doctor I've ever had. His attitude/energy, the time he takes with me to thoroughly discuss everything, the thoughtful questions he has, the relatability he inserts, the empathy he expresses, the confidence and authority he has...etc., etc., etc. I'm very thankful that God has blessed me with Dr. Baird as my primary care physician, because I know he has a very challenging job, and it's incredibly difficult to find good doctors these days with his level of care.

Dr Baird is from my encounter is a kind man who enjoys his job. He listened and I felt dug deep enough to acknowledge it could be a couple different things. I'd love to make him my primary doctor but unfortunately he's too full at this time. I'd love a recommendation of another well qualified doctor. Dr Gonay in Duluth is my primary and I haven't ever even seen her at my last 3 physicals nor have I ever met her. She was my late wife's primary and she was less than impressed as well. This was my best trip to an Emory facility since the days I used to see Dr Jarrett and Dr X probably 20 years ago. The St Joseph emergency room is a place I will never set foot in again. Horribly run by uncaring people. We are usually happy with everyone in this building as my wife used to visit often. The hospital needs to be reimagined!
