I have been with Dr. Baird for 15 years. He might be one of my favorite humans on earth. He is beyond brilliant, diligent and persistent when health issues arise, and his humor keeps me coming back. (Some doctors are so serious and it's uncomfortable) He has such a way with his patients. He makes you feel cared for and listens to every concern. His office will work with you when you need an appointment same day. I trust him with my life. He has saved it many times.

I cannot recommend Dr. Baird highly enough. He is the epitome of what a doctor should be_compassionate, attentive, and deeply knowledgeable. From the moment you meet him, it's clear how much he genuinely cares about his patients. He takes the time to listen carefully to concerns, explains things in a way that is easy to understand, and ensures you feel fully informed and comfortable with every step of your care. Dr. Baird's level of professionalism and empathy is truly unmatched. You can trust him completely, knowing that he has your best interests at heart. His ability to combine medical expertise with a warm, personal approach is rare and so appreciated. He consistently goes above and beyond to make his patients feel heard, valued, and cared for. If you're looking for a doctor who will treat you not just as a patient but as a person, Dr. Baird is the one. He has set the standard for what healthcare should look like, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have found him.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
