About Cynthia W. Baffi, MD

I became a doctor because I had an interest in the complexity of medicine while having the privilege of taking care of people in need. My approach to patient care starts with listening. As a physician, I try to come prepared with an understanding of what's been done prior to the visit. I want to focus on the patient's goals and then work with each individual to come up with a plan of care. It looks different for different patients, so I feel strongly that each patient should be treated individually. I'm also someone who likes to reflect on the big picture and how a disease may affect a patient’s quality of life. At the end of the day, I like to think that I am caring for my patients the way I would care for my own family.

Dr Baffi comes highly rated and in my experience she deserves her high rating. Although I'd rather have never met her, since our meeting was engendered by my severe chest cold issues, she gave me great support. I'd highly recommend her.
