I know this is late in coming but I was just thinking about how Dr Baker completely changed my life. My mother had him on a retainer and instead of having to go to the hospital he would meet us at the clinic and give me my shots. Years later I had a child and sought him out because I could think of no one better to be in charge of my daughters health. THANK YOU DR BAKER FOR THE 3am wake ups to keep me alive

I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of Dr. Baker. I was so fortunate to be able to see him with my first born daughter. She was so sick as a baby. A friend of mine referred him, so I made an appointment right away. When I first met Dr. Baker he was soft spoken and hand such a caring side to him. He was so calm and my daughter loved him lol.
Within 48 hours after leaving his office I noticed a significant change in my daughter's health. He saved my daughters life! I truly believe he did and in him. I am still thankful to this day for all his knowledge, I remember everything he said to me. I will never forget him. May he rest in peace. And may God continue to keep his memories alive in your hearts and minds till you all can be together again.

Truly one of a kind! The best and most comforting pediatrician that went above and beyond to provide extraordinary care for all his patients. I was first blessed to be a patient and then double blessed to have my children under his care. He is deeply missed.

My condolences to his family. I have taken my four children to see him for years. Unfortunately I called today to make an appointment with him, so sad to hear that he has passed on. We had a conversation about 5-6 months ago when I was there with one of my children,( as his little vials clinked in his pocket) I asked him dr. Baker if anything should happento you... who would you recommend for me to take my children? I love and appreciate the way you have taught me much about their illnesses and what has created them and ways to treat them or things to avoid in their life" He smiled and he said "honestly I don't know who else practices the way I do" ... He was the only doctor that took the time talk to my kids made them laugh and joke and feel comfortable and talk to me to make me understand his knowledge and for that I am truly grateful to Dr. Baker. My prayers go out to him and his family.

Richard was my next door neighbor in Jonesville, Michigan. We were great friends when we were in School. I'm not sure if he graduated high school there but just saw notice of his passing in the School's annual association news. I am so happy that he was such a wonderful doctor.

I was honored to have Dr Baker as the perdiatrician for my three children beginning in ,1986 and then when I became a grand mother in 2012 my son found he was still practicing an therefore became the doctor for my 3 grandsons. I am so thankful for his kind and caring ways and concern for more natural ways - so thankful to have been able to see him with one of my grandsons doctor visits recently. He will be greatly missed by many.

Dr. Richard Baker changed my daughters life, which changed all our lives. Everyone thought she was autistic, 10 different doctors even. This man knew her behavior was linked to something else, and within one week my daughter looked at me and said momma for the first time at two years old. For the first time in her life, I was in the room with her, she had never even looked at me or for me before that. Dr. Baker was a man who truly deeply cared for children more than anything, up to his last days, doing all that he could for others. I am truly heartbroken for the loss of Dr. Richard Baker, and my condolences go out to all of those within his family, friends, and others he cared for. May you rest in peace Dr. Baker, and you will always live in our hearts.

My deepest sympathy to his family and everyone who knows him. We too, are mourning the passing of Dr. Baker. He is so loved by us. He took good care of all my children. Without a doubt, he was the best doctor out there. He was not judgmental. He was very caring and understanding. He loved his job and it showed. Not many are like him. He listened sincerely to your concern and very open minded. We will miss you dearly, Dr. Baker. You dedicated your life in healing children. May you rest in peace now. We could not thank you enough for everything you have done.Goodbye, Dr. Baker.
Love,

Doctor Baker was the most amazing doctor and person. He kept our five children healthy and they were never afraid of him. He changed my view of medicine and gave credence to my feelings regarding the health of our children. Because of him, our daughter is alive. Our world will miss him as Heaven gained an Angel of Healing. Prayers, love, and condolences to his family- both at work and at home.

I worked with Dr Baker for many years at Childrens Clinic. He was such a fine caring man and a very caring friend. I learned a lot from him and will never forget him. He can finally get a well earned rest now.

Dr. Baker blessed our lives in countless ways, countless times. His compassion an gentleness was unequaled. He was never afraid to say "I don't know." and any truth was a gem to him. He taught me about health in ways that have transformed the way we cared for ourselves forever more. We loved him dearly and will always speak of him in reverence. He changed the world for so many. We extend our love and condolences to his family and all who loved him.

I first met you when i gave birth to my Daughter Amaia at Sunrise in 1986. you came the day she was born and you spoke to that newborn as if she understood every word,I believe she did.You were also the for my so Jon for years later. I remember when a teacher said she thought Jon was having a problem because of a way he answered a question, you said that he outsmarted the teacher and sent a letter that told her he is the doctor who will give a diagnosis, she needs to teach.Thank you, God Bless You and May you rest in peace>

Dr. Baker was pediatrician at Children's Clinic for my 3, now adult, children. He is, without any doubt, the best doctor I have ever known. His kind and common sense approach to treatment influenced my way way of thinking and treating health and wellness for me and my family more than any other person ever has.
A few years ago, I found out that Dr. Baker was still practicing 2 days per week and my grandchildren were blessed to have his care for a few years, sharing his wealth of knowledge with my younger son and my daughter-in-law.
Las Vegas was truly blessed to have this doctor in our midst. He was one of a kind, irreplaceable and will be missed so very much.

Dr. Baker was a compassionate and brilliant pediatrician; a man of integrity and warmth. He cared for my brother and I in the 60's and 70's, even occasionally stopping by for a house call on his way home from work. Then he became the trusted and loved doctor in the 90's for my daughters, who adored him. As a child he was my super nice doctor and then as a parent he was my educator who gave me confidence as a mom. Patient or parent, you always felt you were in the best hands and loved. I always looked forward to seeing him and getting updates on his family, who were childhood neighbors, and hearing the pride and love he had for them. My heartfelt sympathy to all for your loss of one so exceptional and loved.

Dr. Baker was a wonderful pediatrician for our six children. He was always patient and kind to the children. They were never afraid to go to Dr. Baker. May his family and loved ones find comfort in knowing he was loved and appreciated by so many families in this community. Our sincere condolences to them.

Both of my now grown children saw Dr. Baker at Children's Clinic. As a new Mom, I always felt so blessed to have his common sensed wisdom. He made me a better Mom than I would have been without him. I especially loved his ability to look at every possible treatment angle. It was not always about traditional medicine if I asked to look at more natural methods. I believe he was cutting edge. My condolences to his family.

Doctor Richard Baker was and is my friend for life. when he joined the LDS church my daughter Becky said DR. Barker won't be a doctor any more he is now BROTHER BAKER and so he is. Thank you Dick Baker for who you are. I loved you as a BROTHER.

I've known Dr. Baker for my entire life. He was my pediatrician from the time I was born, and even until I was much too old to be seeing a pediatrician. He was kind, gentle, brilliant, and had such a warm, caring heart. I feel lucky to have been in his care for the first two decades of my life. He was an extraordinary physician, and human being. Lots of well wishes and comfort to his family during this time.

Dr. Baker has been our doctor for 23 years. He was not just our doctor. He was our friend. When I told my 18 year old that he had passed away...his comment was...who is going to take care of me and listen to me Mom. Our 6 children are grieved by his passing yet we feel so blessed to have had him in our lives. He was truly a gift. There will never be another Dr. Baker. Thank you for all you have done for countless children in our community. You are loved by all and especially our family. May you rest in peace and be with your wife, daughter, son and grandson. I don't think I have shed this many tears in a long time. How I will miss your kind eyes and gentle ways.
