Dermatomyositis

While many systemic autoimmune conditions target narrow populations, dermatomyositis behaves differently across age groups and genders. Because this illness can manifest at any stage of life, achieving a proper differentiation requires deep clinical experience in musculoskeletal and connective tissue diseases.

Dermatomyositis involves distinct, simultaneous inflammatory patterns that cause profound physical discomfort and functional limitations. Dr. Baker focuses on building highly individualized care plans designed to target active systemic inflammation, manage your symptoms, and safely improve your overall quality of life.

Connective tissue disorders are medically complex chronic conditions that require sustained physician involvement rather than standard, protocol-driven templates. Dr. Baker uses her background as a double board-certified specialist to provide careful evaluation and direct continuity of care over time.

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.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Baker for the last 15 years. She is the most knowledgeable, compassionate and dedicated Rhuemalogist. She is also very sweet, kind and professional! I always feel acknowledged and heard. She is definitely worth trusting with your health.
