Washtenaw Rheumatology

Conveniently located in Suite 201 of Washtenaw Medicine, our rheumatologist diagnoses and treats arthritis and other disease of the joints, muscles and bones. He works closely with patients to identify problems and to design and manage individualized treatment plans for these complex, painful, and often chronic diseases.

With more than 100 different types, these ailments include rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, gout, lupus, back pain, osteoporosis, fibromyalgia and tendonitis. Some of these diseases are quite serious and only a rheumatologist, specially trained for identifying the source of pain and swelling, may be able to correctly and promptly diagnose the problem. Because better treatment outcomes are linked to early diagnosis, specialized care may save time, money, and reduce the severity of the disease process.

Dr. Baker is highly respected for his outstanding expertise and compassionate care. He is dedicated to helping people with musculoskeletal diseases and their families cope with disease-related life changes. As a long time health care professional, he can link patients with other needed resources such as physical and occupational therapists, orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, and physical medicine specialists.
