I am shocked and befuddled with the review left by Terry S, as it is wholly inconsistent with the experiences that I and my spouse have had as patients of this exemplary practice. Dr. Bakeman is exceptional, and has assembled a team of like-minded, dedicated, and gifted professionals who share a common ethos- integrity, humility, and sensitivity. This is coupled with an unrivaled attention to detail in their ever-present commitment to excellence. Dr. Bakeman is always on the cutting edge of her profession. She is heavily involved in continuing education, both as a mentor/teacher to other dentists from around the country, and a participant in academic conferences. This enables her to provide the very latest in innovative developments to her patients. I am aware of at least a dozen colleagues and friends, who are patients of this practice, and without exception, each feels privileged to be a patient of hers. Having had the experience and good fortune of living in other large cities along the east coast, where I was exposed to some of the leaders of the dental profession, I can say without hesitation that Dr. Bakeman is in an elite category of top practitioners in her field, and that the Grand Rapids community is most fortunate to have a dentist of her caliber and exacting standards. In the age of the internet, where anyone who is disgruntled can seek vengeance on another by submitting a caustic online review, I am proud to serve as one who celebrates and champions excellence, an attribution that most deservedly applies to the entire practice of Dr. Bakeman. I give this practice my highest endorsement, unreservedly. read more
