Profile

Dr. Brett Baker graduated from Tufts University School of Medicine where he simultaneously received his MD as well as an MBA in Healthcare Management from Brandeis University School of Management. Prior to that, he earned an MS in Biomedical Science at Tufts University School of Medicine and a BS in Biology and Psychology from the University of Massachusetts Boston, after attending the U.S. Air Force Academy.

He completed his residency in general surgery at UMass Medical School and a fellowship in bariatric surgery at Lahey Hospital and Medical Center.

As Dr. Baker explains it, the decision to go forward with surgery for weight loss is a complicated one that is personal for each patient. “What I like most about bariatric surgery is being able to have a long-term relationship with a patient, which is unusual for a surgeon. It’s a lifelong partnership based on mutual trust between the two,” he says. “It’s one in which the provider can offer education, information and knowledge to the patient to help guide their decision-making process and ultimately their health journey.”

Dr. Baker stressed that “the role of the provider is never to tell a patient what to do. It’s to help a patient decide what is best for them by offering the right information.”

​When he’s not at work he enjoys skiing, golfing and spending time with his wife and two young children.
