    Dr. Baer is very well versed with her medical knowledge of a breast cancer patient's mindset in dealing with the diagnosis and all of of the treatments. She is extremely knowledgeable in what questions to ask to present meaningful conversations to help get to the root cause of a person's issues.....stemming all the way back to precancer diagnosis and the patients history of other mental stressors.
