Team member of Dr. Susan Baker MD evaluating advanced autoimmune diagnostics to treat vasculitis at her Beverly Hills patient's home.

Vasculitis

Like other autoimmune disorders, vasculitis occurs when a patient’s immune system begins attacking his or her own body tissues; this causes blood vessel inflammation that leads to shortness of breath, fever, fatigue, and various nerve problems.

Immune System Misdirection

Vasculitis triggers auto-reactive immune responses that cause your body to mistakenly target its own blood vessels. This underlying vascular inflammation compromises healthy blood flow and leads to significant physiological strain; manifesting as persistent fatigue, unexplained fevers, and respiratory difficulties.

Neurological and Systemic Risks

Because blood vessel inflammation can impact virtually any organ system, vasculitis often triggers diverse nerve problems and structural tissue damage throughout the body. Managing these complex, multi-system risks successfully requires an experienced clinical background in both internal medicine and advanced rheumatology.

Tailored Clinical Care

Dr. Baker develops comprehensive care plans tailored directly to your unique medical history, symptoms, and long-term longevity goals. Her thoughtful, data-driven approach focuses on precise diagnostics to help safely manage your symptoms, reduce systemic inflammation, 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.
