What an amazing experience! Made an appointment and was seen the same day. Dr. Audu listened deeply, provided me with several options and really took the time to make sure that he was explaining my options and next steps in an appropriate manner that I could truly understand. I’m looking forward to working with him and his care team addressing my ongoing health needs. If you’re looking for humane health care I think you should really check them out!

Upon entering Baker Health, my blood pressure promptly fell—a rare triumph in New York. After much fruitless searching for a good GP, I have found this gem: an excellent doctor, a considerate staff, and, not least, beautiful offices. It makes all the difference.

Cynthia Park

I recently had my first annual exam with Dr. Auda at Baker Health, and it was truly an exceptional experience. Dr. Auda was incredibly attentive, addressing all my questions and concerns with care. The facilities at Baker Health are top-notch, offering a comprehensive wellness program with services like IV infusions, vitamin shots, and even weekly therapy sessions—some of which were covered by my insurance!

I went in expecting a standard physical, but I was pleasantly surprised to find a wide range of additional wellness options available at reasonable prices. Baker Health feels like much more than a doctor’s office; it’s a well-rounded health and wellness community.

What impressed me most, though, was the amazing staff. They created such a warm, inviting atmosphere, were highly knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly. They even welcomed my dog, Mochi, with open arms—yes, they’re dog-friendly!

I’m already planning to return to explore more of their wellness offerings and would highly recommend Baker Health to anyone looking for top-quality, compassionate care!

Thea Nuñez

Great overall experience, beautiful experience.

Rebecca Nghi

Came here as a new patient and curious to try someplace new after years of going elsewhere that I did not enjoy at all. Going here is really enjoyable, the environment has a sense of ease where you are treated very well and just the energy makes you feel calm. Also fast, informative but very friendly. Other doctor offices I’ve been to does not have this type of thing. Absolute game changer to the health industry.

Highly recommended this place time and time again!

Baker Health in manhattan is by far the best PCP office out there currently. Say goodbye to costly ER visits and Urgent Care copays and deductibles. Their team of highly skilled doctors provides exceptional care, supported by a warm and attentive staff dedicated to ensuring your experience is outstanding. They cater to both adults and children, making it convenient for the whole family to receive care in one location. With no wait times or waiting lists, same-day appointments are always available and I can’t forget to mention their 24/7 Live chat on the app where you can always reach your doctor. Baker Health is revolutionizing healthcare, one member at a time.
