Dr. Susan Baker MD analyzing advanced thyroid function tests to treat hypothyroidism at her Beverly Hills office.

Hypothyroidism

Hypothyroidism has little to no symptoms in the beginning stages; however, if left untreated, the condition can cause a number of health complications. Over time, an underactive thyroid can lead to serious chronic issues such as obesity, joint pain and swelling, infertility, and heart disease.

Advanced Diagnostic Testing

Thanks to modern medical advancements, accurate thyroid function tests are now available to safely diagnose thyroid dysfunction. Dr. Baker utilizes these precise laboratory updates to evaluate your metabolic profile early and identify subtle hormonal shifts before advanced complications can develop.

Comprehensive Clinical Management

As an expert rheumatologist and internal medicine specialist, Dr. Baker draws on her impressive educational background and medical training to address hormone imbalances. She understands how thyroid issues interact with your musculoskeletal and connective tissue health; allowing her to determine the most effective course of treatment.

Personalized Care Plans

Under the direct guidance of an experienced physician, finding a safe and effective treatment plan for hypothyroidism is relatively simple. Dr. Baker develops comprehensive care plans tailored directly to each patient’s unique needs to help manage 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.
