Celiac Disease
For individuals with celiac disease, consuming gluten triggers an autoimmune response that causes severe inflammation in the small intestine.
If left untreated, this condition can permanently damage the intestinal lining and cause critical nutrient malabsorption.
Intestinal Damage
Chronic inflammation from gluten exposure compromises the delicate lining of your digestive tract. This structural damage directly impairs your small intestine; blocking your body from absorbing the vital vitamins and minerals necessary to sustain your daily health.
Systemic Risks
When nutrient malabsorption is left unmanaged, the resulting deficiencies can deprive your entire system of essential fuel. Over time, this chronic lack of nutrients can negatively impact the health and performance of your brain, bones, liver, and nervous system.
Targeted Management
While there is currently no permanent cure for celiac disease, the condition can be controlled effectively. Dr. Baker provides individualized guidance from diagnosis to long-term aftercare; helping you implement tailored gluten-free dietary strategies and medical therapies to reduce inflammation safely.
I am new to seeing Dr. Baker but have found her to be extremely professional, extremely intelligent, and most of all, extremely caring. At our first appointment, she saw me immediately, was helpful in her comments, and followed up by phone promptly to discuss my results. I hope to be her patient for a long time and have told friends about her practice.

On my first visit, although we weren’t able to connect through telehealth, Dr. Baker called me herself and we had an initial lengthy phone conversation. Without even meeting her in person, I can already tell how attentive and compassionate she is!! Since meeting her in person she has continued to provide the same caring, compassionate care.
