At the practice on Dotson Road, the Northwest Women’s Center offers a comprehensive array of treatment options, including state-of-the-art treatment of uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, HPV infection, endometriosis, abdominal pain and pelvic pain, incontinence, vaginal dryness and vaginal discharge, menopause, PCOS and osteoporosis, as well as complete pregnancy care, STD testing, and birth control options.

A native Texan, born in Austin, Dr. Baker earned his medical degree from the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston in 1987. He then went on to complete his residency in obstetrics and gynecology at the same educational venue.

In addition to being a Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the doctor is a member of the Willard R. Cooke Ob/Gyn Society, the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists, and the Texas Association of Obstetrics and Gynecologists.

Moreover, he is board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, which is a non-profit organization that provides board certification for practicing obstetricians and gynecologists in the United States and Canada. 

Obstetrics and Gynecology is the medical specialty that encompasses the two subspecialties of obstetrics (covering pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period) and gynecology (covering the health of the female reproductive system – vagina, uterus, ovaries, and breasts). An obstetrician-gynecologist, or OB-GYN, is a healthcare professional who specializes in female reproductive health. 

On a more personal note, Dr. Baker met his wife, Julie, in Galveston and they moved to Spring in 1991. His son, Duggan, and daughter, Kaeli, live and work in Houston. When he is not working, Dr. Baker enjoys spending time with his family, playing with his three dogs, hunting, fishing, watching Longhorn sports, reading, and eating good food, especially barbecue!
