Dr. Baker was our Pediatrician for a few years after moving to the area. We have a large family and at first he seemed enamored and curious with us as a family, even in admiration. We don't consider ourselves to be anything but blessed with our family, but the struggles we have and the weight of carrying such a large load is formidable. Its not for everyone. In fact, we didn't think it was for us. But this is what God has brought to our lives, so we rejoice in the rich life we have. While our first 4 kids were chunky-monkies, 3 of the last four struggled greatly with low birth weight and gaining weight. The last two little girls, Dr. Baker was our primary pediatrician after birth (our OB is Dr. Asis from Denton who is fabulous). Our daughter contracted RSV and also struggled with low birth weight ended up needing hospital care...but not before Dr. Baker's stern and rude comments alluding to a possible neglect issue as he used terms like "failure to thrive" and "you just need to spend more time feeding her". REALLY? Thats what our doctor decided to say to us? We were devastated by Lydia's slow progress and did everything he asked, but she began gaining weight when she wanted to. After consulting numerous people on formulas and literally ANY ideas on how to fatten her up, she finally began showing signs of porking up. When our last little girl arrived, her birth weight was 6.0lb. Our OB was concerned (after what proved to be an inaccurate ultrasound reading) about her being "too big" and encouraged us to enduce a few days early. We didn't want to, but went along with our Dr's advise. When she was born weighting a mere 6 lb, we really didn't think much of it. But she never gained weight. We are believers in mommy nursing and hoped that mommy's milk would do the job. It was demoralizing and very fearful time, when nothing worked. The end of the line with Dr. Baker was a visit when he, DR. JEREMY BAKER, spoke to my wife in such degrading terms and with such a lack of compassion and encouragement that my wife left the offices in tears. It takes a LOT for my wife to break down like that. My initial reaction was to go have a "chat" with Baker, but knowing that would be unwise and possibly enflame an issue that we decided to let it go. As the father and provider for a large family, I'm aware of stares we get when walking thru walmart, carrying groceries into the house, doing things in public that makes people stare (we have a LARGE vehicle and it's hard to miss us). We're also aware that even an INACCURATE AND BIASED STATEMENT BY A PHYSICIAN OR MEMBER OF A MEDICAL STAFF WILL BRING ABOUT HORRIFIC CONSEQUENCES TO AN OTHERWISE STABLE, LOVING AND PROVING FAMILY. I've seen it too many times. His bias against us and harsh words in the midst of a situation that was VERY concerning to us were inappropriate. He was not encouraging on MANY occasions. I decided to let the entire issue go until just a few days ago when I encountered another parent just by chance, that had a similar experience with DR. JEREMY BAKER. She said that night terrors and/or some physiological condition was causing her 9 yr old son to have difficulty sleeping, and needed to get help with medication or some other encouragement and course of action. DR. JEREMY BAKER responded by saying it was a "PARENTING ISSUE" and not something that he wanted to help with. Still another parent we knew from a couple of years back had a similar experience with DR. JEREMY BAKER. Words like, "condescending" and "arrogant" and even "harsh" were used. I was mortified to hear these things, because we've said NOTHING about our experience to anyone else thus far. Baker is passionate, I'm sure. He believes he is an advocate for kids, I'm sure. What he lacks is the bedside manner, intuition, understanding and compassion it takes to walk parents thru complex situations instead of harsh threatening tones. We're done with his practice and won't be back. I've not been vocal about our incident because I hoped it was isolated to us as a big family, and an inexperienced DOCTOR who didn't really know how to handle a mother of multiple births, and a child who struggled with weight. FOLLOW UP; Both girls that were under his care, Lydia and Gabby who both struggled greatly with low weight, are BOTH PERFECTLY FINE. Still on the low end of the scale for kids weight/height, they'll be petite all their life; for sure, but both kids are cognitively AHEAD of other kids their ages and have above normal abilities. We've even had them tested by professionals on some levels, making sure that things are as they should be. The problem with DR. JEREMY BAKER is that there seems to be no place in his mind or process for kids who don't "measure up" to normal parameters. I do not recommend him. As I said before, I don't judge him as a person; I am sure he's a good man who loves children and in his broken way, thinks he's advocating for them. But when you break down parenting in the process of do read more
