What Members Are Saying

Let’s start out by saying I am in equestrian adventure. Cowboys like cows I’m a wrangler I like taking care of horses. taking care of them is a huge part of my life and it takes physical ability. I ride in the mountains on horseback 150 miles to approximately 200 miles every year my goal next year is to ride 1000 miles. Without Dr Baker this goal would not be achievable. He has a unique ability of seeing through physical adversities. He has helped me tremendously. I feel like a full and capable man again I so look forward to this year‘s ride and knowing Dr Baker helped me achieve it, and backs me up For all my adventures, I can only tell you how much I love the man

He listened to me and gave me answers. Dr. Baker makes you feel like you can tell him anything and he will help you.

First of all I have to say that I’m so blessed to have Dr James Baker as my primary physician. So my story starts Spring of 2020 as I just turned 61 years old and was with Dr Baker covering the results of my annual wellness checkup During the review Dr Baker was encouraging me to start exercising and taking some supplements. I was not exercising or taking any supplements, but he wanted me to understand the long term benefits this would have to someone my age. He also shared about "Three" which offers natural supplements and the amazing technology “cellular absorption” and how these supplements had a different delivery system than all other products on the market. I took his advice and started taking the multivitamin complex and collagen right away. Then later that summer I joined a “boot camp” style workout group. I was not in bad shape, but I know I was not in shape so wanted to start some exercise routine. My instructor was X-military so the workouts are really pretty intense. They meet 40 weeks of the year. Group size was 40 people and the age group ranged from 65% - 19 - 30 age ( 26 ) 25% - 40 age ( 10 ) 7% - 50 age ( 3 ) 3% - I'm the only person 60+. Actually I turn 65 on March 4, 2024. So by now I have been taking my supplements for 5 months when I joined this group and I was performing in the top 40%. So Spring 2021 during my annual wellness visit with Dr Baker we had 1 year with these supplements and there was a dramatic change in my results….everything was in balance and exceeding expectations. By Summer 2021……I was now in the top 20% of the overall group So my story continues that in the Spring of both 2022 and 2023 my annual wellness visits with Dr Baker continue to be outstanding. As a matter of fact he told me this year that my internal organs were about 20 years younger than my age on my drivers license. My boot camp leader, who is also a practicing nurse at our local hospital, calls me a “freak of nature” due to my age / health and that now that I’m performing in the top 10% of the group. Finally, other than I feel great and able to perform at the highest level of fitness, the most fun this is that no one can tell my age! The collagen and eternal supplements that I’m taking are awesome for my skin / hair that most people are missing my age by 10-15 years! That’s right someone guessed I was 48! I’m taking all 6 of their current products that they offer today and feel great! I totally believe in these products and several of my friends and my workout group are taking notice and want to know what I’m doing to look and perform like I’m doing today. As I said earlier I'm so blessed to have Dr. James Baker as my MDVIP doctor truly grateful for his care and guidance of my health.

Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.

Testimonials from patients of James B. Baker, DO, FACOI

Sick for over a year

from Judy in AR • January 19, 2024

I was nauseous for over a year. Went to multiple doctors. My daughter in law was an intern for Doctor James Baker. She told me he was the best. She was right. He suspected it was a bladder. Went for tests and sure enough it was my bladder. He sent me to a surgeon and the surgeon said my bladder was twice the size of normal bladder. Instant relief for my nausea. Changed my life. Thank you Doctor Read more...

Recently she has been exhausted with a heavy menstrual her female OB/GYN told her she could expect it at her age. Mid 30s.
