Patients Seen: All Ages

I am hum­bled by being allowed to par­tic­i­pate in the care of my patients at some of their rawest moments, whether it is the birth of a first child, the loss of a desired preg­nan­cy, cycle irreg­u­lar­i­ties that dic­tate their dai­ly lives or nor­mal well-woman care. I con­nect with my patients through val­i­da­tion, com­pas­sion, empa­thy, and sup­port. Every woman deserves to be heard and to feel there is a safe space to dis­cuss the health con­cerns unique to this field, and I am thank­ful to be wel­comed into that space with patients.

"I had an appointment with Dr. Baumgartner and I honestly can't say enough good things about her. She was absolutely amazing! She truly listened, was incredibly understanding, and made me feel so validated. I was in pain during the visit, and I felt so embarrassed but she even let me lie down before I left, which meant more than she probably knows. Her kindness and care were so genuine that when I got to my car I was in tears, not from pain, but from pure relief and gratitude. For the first time in a long time, I felt heard and not crazy. Thank you, Dr. Baumgartner, for being everything a doctor should be."
