I feel it is crit­i­cal to work with my patients’ treat­ment teams to view each patient as an indi­vid­ual from a can­cer per­spec­tive as well as a human per­spec­tive and there­fore strive to deliv­er the best care possible.

Are you due for your screen­ing colonoscopy? If you have been putting it off or recent­ly turned 45, now is the time to get it sched­uled. Don’t wait until it’s too late! Col­orec­tal can­cer is pre­ventable when pre-can­cer­ous polyps are found and removed dur­ing a colonoscopy, that’s why screen­ing is so impor­tant. Take charge of your health and sched­ule your screen­ing colonoscopy by call­ing 630−717−2600.

"Dr. Baker was my oncologist at LaGrange Hospital 11 years ago when I had breast cancer radiation. When she moved to DuPage Medical (now Duly), I told her I'd follow her anywhere. She is amazing and her empathy, care, concern, compassion and interest in you goes above and beyond all expectations. There are not enough accolades to heap upon her. Duly is blessed beyond measure to have her on its staff. She is a remarkable doctor eho puts her heart snd soul into every patient she sees. I can't say enough about her; I love her!!!!!"
