Inflammatory Bowel Arthritis
Inflammatory bowel arthritis occurs when the body’s own immune system misfires and attacks its tissues.
This causes a combination of intestinal damage, chronic abdominal pain, and painful joint inflammation outside of the digestive tract.
The Immune Connection
The underlying condition is driven by an auto-reactive immune response that targets healthy systems. This internal conflict causes active systemic inflammation, progressive intestinal lining damage, and significant abdominal distress that complicates standard primary care.
Extra-Intestinal Complications
While inflammatory bowel disease primarily targets the digestive tract, arthritis is actually one of the most common symptoms experienced completely outside of the intestines. Managing these dual-system symptoms successfully requires deep clinical background in both internal medicine and advanced rheumatology.
Tailored Clinical Management
Dr. Baker provides expert, highly individualized treatment designed around your specific physiology and history. At her Beverly Hills medical practice, she focuses on identifying and treating the underlying root causes of inflammation to reduce joint discomfort and support long-term wellness 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.
