She is currently Board Certified in both Internal Medicine and Rheumatology and is a diplomate of the American Colleges of Internal Medicine and Rheumatology.

I have a passion for living longer maintaining the same vitality I have now to enjoy many more healthy years with my family.

I began my career in private practice over 21 years ago in the pre-longevity focused era.

We utilized state of the art diagnostics and testing including genomic testing, concept precision medicine and functional medicine to deliver highly personalized care .

While getting to the cause of your disease

As doctors we spent most of our time treating acute and chronic illnesses and very little time preventing disease or understanding what caused it.

Dr. Baker further pursued her passion for medicine at the University of Illinois at Chicago where she completed her Internal Medicine Residency followed by a Fellowship in Rheumatology under the world renowned professor and researcher, Dr. John Varga.

She spent 10 years in Chicago working at University of Illinois Hospital, Cook County Hospital, Northwestern, Mount Sinai and Rush Medical Centers. In Chicago, she also rotated through every Veterans Health Administration hospital, America’s largest integrated health care system providing primary care and specialized care. Dr. Baker started her private practice in Los Angeles in 2003.

She also serves as assistant professor of medicine at Cedars-Sinai Hospital and University of California, Los Angeles teaching medical students, residents and fellows for over 20 years. She has received numerous awards including the prestigious Castle Connley award by her peers, Southern California Super Doctors, LA’s Top doctors and The Best of the Best.

No one is talking about health span or lifespan.

While a good portion of our current practice utilizes state-of-the-art treatments which have revolutionized how we treat patients, we also focus on optimizing patient’s health to help them live a longer and more vibrant life.

Today, my practice organizes your health in 3 baskets.

Acute care
Prevention
