Her clinical interests include preventative screenings, and management of metabolic syndrome, obesity, hypertension, diabetes, anxiety, depression, thyroid disease, heart failure, coronary artery disease (CAD), asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

After migrating from Guyana at age 16, Dr. Baird attended an accelerated BS/MD program at the Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education. The mission of the program was to address the shortage of primary care providers in underserved communities. “The experience made me understand how the primary care setting can impact a patient’s life,” she says.

As a passionate primary care doctor, she is committed to providing the highest quality of care to her patients. She believes that true healing involves a combination of traditional medicine and natural alternative approaches that are evidence-based and proven to be effective. Her focus in patient care is centered around utilizing collaborative models that involve the patient, their family, and other health care professionals to come up with a comprehensive care plan.

Dr. Baird also strongly believes that lifestyle changes play a vital role in managing chronic diseases and preventing future illness. Her goal is to empower patients to take charge of their health by making positive changes to their diet, exercise routine, and stress management techniques. She works hand in hand with patients, providing them with the tools they need to succeed in reaching their health goals.

By incorporating holistic approaches into traditional medical practices, Dr. Baird strives to provide her patients with comprehensive, patient-centered care that focuses on their overall well-being.

“If you are looking for a doctor who is passionate about medicine, takes a natural approach to care, and believes in partnering with patients to achieve sustainable lifestyle changes, I would be honored to be your primary care doctor,” she says.

When she is not in the office, Dr. Baird enjoys traveling, hiking, dancing, watching movies, gardening, and spending time with family.
