Osteoarthritis

When the protective cartilage wears down over time, bones begin to rub directly against each other. This friction causes persistent joint pain, structural stiffness, and a noticeable loss of natural physical movement.

The onset of osteoarthritis is typically slow and progressive, with symptoms most commonly beginning after the age of 40. Identifying these structural joint changes early is an essential step in preserving your physical mobility and supporting active longevity.

Dr. Baker develops comprehensive care plans tailored directly to your unique joint anatomy, medical history, and daily needs. Her thoughtful approach focuses on precision diagnostics to help safely manage your symptoms and improve your overall quality of life.

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.
