About Me

“Working at City of Hope has allowed me to combine my passions and interests,” says Benjamin Baker, Nurse Practitioner in Surgical Oncology at City of Hope Atlanta. “I enjoy caring for patients, practicing medicine and working on a multidisciplinary team of doctors and clinicians.”

Baker joined City of Hope in June 2016. His goal is to provide high-quality, coordinated care to all his patients. Baker works in the inpatient surgical department caring for patients undergoing surgical procedures. In that role, he provides post-operative care for patients with all cancer types, including colon, pancreatic, liver, lung, ovarian, endometrial, breast, prostate, bladder, kidney and other cancers. Baker strives to help patients reduce pain and recover faster after surgery.

Baker completed a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing at Georgia Southern University in Statesboro, Georgia. He then earned a Master of Science degree in nursing from the University of Alabama in Birmingham, Alabama. After graduation, he received a nurse practitioner certification from the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners. He is a member of several organizations, including the Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing.

Baker’s career in health care began in 1999 as an Air Force combat medic. He also has worked as a critical care nurse in several hospital departments, including surgical, trauma, medical and cardiac ICUs. During Baker’s career, he also has worked as a charge nurse in the ICU and for the Atlanta VA Medical Center. His passion and experience eventually led him to City of Hope.

Baker enjoys spending time with his family and friends. He loves to travel, exercise and cook on the grill.
Patient reviews
The patient ratings and comments on this page are obtained from an external Press Ganey® outpatient survey provided to all eligible City of Hope patients within one to two weeks of their treatment occurrence. Raw data from the answers to the survey questions about our physicians are calculated by Press Ganey into a one- to five- star rating. In the spirit of transparency, all patient comments are posted as written by the patient, whether they are positive or negative. We only exclude comments if they are deemed to be slanderous or libelous, contain profanity or vulgar language, or do not relate to the patient's experience with the doctor involved. As a result, the comments are the views and opinions of the patients surveyed and are not endorsed by, and may not necessarily reflect the opinion of, City of Hope.
