About Matthew L. Baer, MD, PhD

Philosophy of Care

I find it very important to treat patients as people first by welcoming them to my practice and trying to help them remember that they are an individual who happens to have a neurologic problem - not just a patient with a disease. It is very important to address each patient's medical concerns, but I want to make sure that I understand how these concerns affect their lives so we can work together to manage each problem holistically.

Clinical Interests

My specific interests are in neuromuscular medicine (including muscle diseases, neuropathies, and neuromuscular junction disorders), neuroophthalmology, neuroimmunology (e.g. Multiple Sclerosis), and headaches.

Personal Interests

I love to go on long walks and admire urban architecture. I enjoy cooking and sharing meals with friends. I dabble in photography, which helps make my urban wanderings more intentional. And I have been enjoying reading in my spare time.

Dr Baer is fantastic. He was interested in what I had to say and recommended testing to confirm what was going on in my brain.
