Dr. Karolina Baker,MD,ABFM,IFMCP: Functional Medicine|Longevity|Vitality.Specialize in: Functional Neurology/HBOT/Erchonia Laser/QEEG Brain Mapping/BTracksS/PEMA | Regenerative&Stem Cell Therapy/ | IV/Ozone/EBOO/IASIS/HeartMath/PNOE/Peptides/BHRT/RGCC/SOT My Story:
As an Emergency Physician, I could quickly treat patients with acute illnesses — but for chronic conditions, I would send them back to their primary care provider. Later, as a primary care physician, I saw firsthand how many people were struggling with long-term, complex health issues. Through Functional Medicine, I found an approach that seeks to uncover and address the root causes of disease. By identifying the underlying imbalances driving chronic illness, I could not only help patients feel better — I could also prevent future suffering. Who I Am:
I am a Board-Certified Family Medicine Physician and Functional Medicine Provider with over 20 years of clinical experience. My training includes:

Experience: Emergency departments, urgent care centers, primary care practices, and mental health facilities in the USA, England, The Netherlands, Aruba, and Poland
Fellowship: Integrative Psychiatry

I am fluent in Polish, Dutch, Papiamento, and Spanish and draw on my diverse cultural background to provide personalized, inclusive, and compassionate care. My Services & Approach:
I help patients find lasting relief from chronic mental and physical health conditions such as:
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Diabetes & Weight Management
Skin Conditions (Eczema, Allergies)

Using a comprehensive evaluation that includes advanced lab testing and clinical insight, I assess:

Genetic predisposition
From there, I design a personalized, integrative care plan that may include diet and lifestyle changes, targeted nutraceuticals, and advanced regenerative treatments. Integrative Wellness:
At Aven Clinic, we practice both Integrative and Functional Medicine. Integrative Medicine combines conventional and alternative therapies for the best outcomes. Functional Medicine asks why illness develops and addresses the root cause. We test, not guess, and look at the body as a whole — mind, body, and lifestyle. We also collaborate with your primary care physician or other specialists to ensure continuity of care. Words of Advice:
Your health is your greatest investment. spends more on healthcare than any other high-income nation yet has some of the poorest health outcomes. That’s because our system often manages disease rather than preventing it. Take an active role in your wellness. Be your own health advocate. Functional Medicine is a partnership — I guide you, but you must participate fully in your healing through nutrition, lifestyle, and stress management. Success Stories:
One of my most memorable cases involved a patient with severe arthritis, back pain, and depression. She was on multiple medications and limited to one hour of daily activity. Six months after starting my protocol, her pain decreased by 80%, her mood lifted, and she could ride her bike again. With improved brain health and reduced pain, she no longer needed most of her medications. Your Role & Investment:
Functional Medicine is not a quick fix. It’s a process that requires commitment. Because insurance does not cover most Functional Medicine services, we are a cash-based practice — allowing us to create treatment plans based on your needs, not insurance limitations. We accept FSA/HSA and CareCredit. What We Offer:
