Dr. Baitel’s philosophy of care centers on a patient first approach. “When it comes to my patients, I don’t treat numbers; I treat people,” she says. “Caring for others is what I’m meant to do. Spending time both treating and educating those in my care allows patients to be active participants in their health.”
