About Me
Sarah Baker, MD, believes in a “patient first” philosophy, with her patients’ best interest at heart. She works closely with you to ensure a clear understanding of your diagnosis and treatment options. Dr. Baker practices dermatology for adults and children, cosmetic dermatology and dermatologic surgery.
A native of West Monroe, Dr. Baker graduated summa cum laude from Centenary College of Louisiana with a degree in biology. Her medical education was at LSU Health Sciences Center-Shreveport School of Medicine, followed by a general surgery internship in Chicago at Rush University Medical Center and a residency at McGaw Medical Center of Northwestern University. Dr. Baker returned to Shreveport-Bossier City to care for patients’ skin needs at Ark-La-Tex Dermatology.
Board certified by the American Board of Dermatology, Dr. Baker has memberships with Louisiana Dermatological Society, American Academy of Dermatology and American Society of Dermatologic Surgeons.
Dr. Baker’s greatest love is her family. Her four children keep her very busy outside the office. She is active in her church and also loves reading, traveling and spending time with friends.
