What I Do

My philosophy of care revolves around providing comprehensive, exceptional and innovative care for patients with various sleep disorders. I also engage in independent decision-making about individual health care needs.

My clinical interests include obstructive and central sleep apnea, REM behavior disorder and narcolepsy.

Why I Love My Work

What I enjoy most about my job is interacting with patients and their families. My motivation to go into medicine stems from being able to make a positive impact on the well-being and lives of my patients. I also wanted to be part of the development of the fascinating field of sleep medicine. My number one priority will always be to have a deep commitment to my patients and their families.

Getting to Know Me

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, which includes my husband, two amazingly energetic boys and twin girls. I also enjoy collecting and reading books of German authors in their original language. I am excited to live and raise my family in such a wonderful and beautiful community with picturesque nature, great schools and an exceptional work environment.

    Dr. Baker is one of the only doctors I've seen at central care with good bedside manner. She took the time to listen and address me as an entire person not just a singular issue

    I asked my PCP to refer me to Dr. Baker because she is an EXCELLENT provider. She address questions that I hadn't considered. When my spouse was seen by Dr. Baker for the first time earlier this year, Dr. Baker knew every single bit of his extensive medical file. [We were a little more than impressed.] Dr. Baker had a thorough knowledge of my medical background also. She is professional, knowledgeable, considerate, personable, AND Dr. Baker LISTENED. I left the appointment feeling positive and hopeful with a good plan to move forward.

    Even though I waited to be seen for almost 30 minutes, Dr. Baker was the one who was in a rush. She spoke very fast, which made communication and understanding more difficult. She did answer my questions when I asked, and explained the answer well, but again, it was very fast. The actual time I had with the doctor was less than 10 minutes.

    I really like Dr. Baker. I think it is her last name her first name Nadia. She is very good very very good. She explained what she thinks it was and she agreed I need to see a lung specialist sooner than later but now I'm booked that work till April so that's quite a while. She was honest with me right upfront. She told me straight up my CPAP. I'm going to need a different machine. I told her was to go back to work and she said no you need to get help first and find out what's going on. I like that I think that's great because I'm tired of people just holding my hand and it's just fine. It's just fine. No, it's not fine and I don't want that anymore. I want honesty right upfront And that is exactly what she gave me.
