Dr. Susan Baker MD staff member evaluating systemic autoimmune diagnostics for Sjögren’s Syndrome at her patient's Beverly Hills home.

Sjögren’s Syndrome

Sjögren’s syndrome is a systemic autoimmune disorder that causes the body’s immune system to mistakenly target its own healthy tissues; primarily impacting the moisture-producing glands. Managing this chronic condition requires an accurate diagnosis and an unhurried, personalized care plan to protect your long-term comfort and tissue health.

Systemic Autoimmune Impact

This condition involves auto-reactive immune responses that typically target the eyes and salivary glands; leading to persistent dryness, joint discomfort, and profound physical fatigue. Because it can mimic other rheumatologic disorders, obtaining a careful clinical differentiation from an experienced specialist is essential to prevent advanced complications.

Tailored Care Strategies

Managing a complex connective tissue illness requires a highly customized therapeutic blueprint. Dr. Baker integrates evidence-based medical therapies with practical, data-driven lifestyle adjustments designed around your unique history, daily habits, and long-term wellness goals to safely reduce your physical discomfort.

Sustained Patient Support

Autoimmune disorders are fluid conditions that require continuous clinical tracking and direct physician continuity over time. Dr. Baker provides dedicated oversight to monitor your biomarkers regularly, adjust your protocols as your body evolves, and support your active longevity without delegating your care to mid-level staff.

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.
