Dr. Susan Baker MD outlining a personalized long-term care plan for psoriatic arthritis at her Beverly Hills office.

Psoriatic Arthritis

Psoriatic arthritis is an inflammatory condition that affects up to 30 percent of individuals who live with psoriasis. This complex illness directly links skin and joint health; frequently causing a significant decrease in daily quality of life due to persistent pain and a loss of physical mobility.

Early Joint Protection

While having psoriasis is a prerequisite for developing this condition, joint pain and swelling can sometimes present before any red patches or silvery scales appear on the skin. Securing an early diagnosis is absolutely essential to stay ahead of the disease and prevent further permanent damage to your joints.

Complex Long-Term Care

Effectively managing arthritis and diseases of the connective tissue can be complex and require ongoing monitoring over time. Dr. Baker uses her extensive background as a rheumatologist and internal medicine specialist to streamline your care, striving to make each step in your long-term treatment as simple and stress-free as possible.

Tailored Therapy Plans

Every patient navigates systemic joint limitations differently, requiring a thoughtful clinical blueprint built around their specific needs. Our comprehensive approach combines evidence-based medical therapy, practical lifestyle strategies, and continuous patient support to safely help you manage your symptoms.

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.
