Megan Baker, MD

Location: NE Portland

Credentials: MD - Indiana University, Indianapolis, IN

Residency: University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT

Certified ✓ American Board of Pediatrics

I like to meet families where they are- there is no one perfect way to parent. If you have read books on baby led weaning, can only imaging spoon feeding a baby, or have no clue where to start- I want to be here to answer your questions and help you become a confident parent! I also know first hand how terrifying it can be when you are worried about your child’s health, and a huge part of my job is reassuring you when that is appropriate, and responding quickly to your concerns when I’m worried too.
