Baker, Laura

Philosophy of Care:
I believe in treating the whole person as a crucial aspect of medicine. My commitment is to provide high-quality medical care to my community while advocating for my patients and their health. I am particularly passionate about serving the LGBTQIA+ community with the care and respect they deserve.

Personal Interests:
In 2020, my wife, Madeleine, and I moved from central Texas to Pullman, where we now enjoy a homestead with livestock and space to raise our twins.

Why I Became a Family Medicine Physician:
I chose family medicine because it allows me to be involved in the health care of entire families. Initially torn between family medicine and obstetrics, I decided on a family medicine residency with advanced obstetrics training to stay involved in the unique and special process of pregnancy and delivery. Practicing rural medicine offers the opportunity to combine both family medicine and obstetrics, allowing me to provide comprehensive care in a community setting.

Since joining Pullman Family Medicine, I have dedicated myself to working with the transgender community and providing comprehensive healthcare to the LGBTQIA+ community. As a member of this community, I understand the challenges that can arise in accessing medical care. I strive to help my patients navigate these hurdles with ease and to be as personable and supportive as possible in achieving their health goals. Whether offering resources, referrals for surgeries and therapy, or a compassionate listening ear, my goal is to be there for each of my patients.

Additional Information:
From a young age, I knew I wanted to be a physician. I earned my undergraduate degree in Biomedical Sciences from Texas A&M University and continued there for medical school. I completed my residency at Texas A&M Family Medicine Residency in Bryan, TX, participating in the Advanced Obstetrics track, where I trained in deliveries and cesarean sections. I am board-certified in Family Medicine and have privileges to work at Pullman Regional Hospital.

Teresa Tomaszewski

Philosophy of Care: As PA-C's, the foundation of our practice is treating patients as more than individual symptoms. We view care as an entire connected system; mental, physical, and emotional states all matter. My goal has always been to be an empathetic and understanding provider. I want to know about you, not just to address chronic and acute conditions, but to create a working relationship that facilitates better health outcomes so you can continue to enjoy life to the fullest.

Why Family Medicine PA-C: I chose Family Medicine because I want to help people lead healthy productive lives regardless of age, gender, or ailment. Our bodies are continuously changing throughout our lives. From prenatal development to advanced years, I have always wanted to be part of that change, helping in preventative care, routine checkups, and diagnosing illnesses and issues.

 Personal Interests: My partner, our Great Pyrenees, and I are avid outdoor explorers in all seasons. We spend our time together hiking, backpacking, skiing (backcountry, alpine, and nordic), biking, kayaking, fishing, hunting, foraging, and gardening. If I am not in the clinic, odds are I am out-of-doors enjoying nature.

RS917_Jennifer.Davis,PA-C

Philosophy of care: It is a privilege to work with people on a personal level. I see my role as part of the medical team and to provide patients the support and guidance that is required in order to lead a healthy lifestyle and work towards their personal goals. 

 

Personal Interests: A role that has brought me joy and fulfillment like no other is being a mother of two teenagers (Cassie and Sam). They certainly keep my husband, Bill and I busy with their personal interests. We have a rich life here on the Palouse with adventures in the mountains, rivers and spending time with our dear friends and family. In the summer, you are likely to see me working in the yard where I am a novice gardener. 

Why did you decide to become a Family Medicine PA-C: I wouldn't work in any other field. I love working with people of all ages. It is gratifying to me to see young families and work by their side as that precious baby turns their world upside down! Those babies evolve into teenagers and then adults. I also truly enjoy working with a population whom has arrived at the other end of the spectrum of life. Each of these stages are filled with invaluable lessons and it is gratifying to be a part of these stages with our patients. 

Additional information: My path to become a PA was a windy one, but has helped to transform who I am now.

attended Drury College in Springfield, MO where I obtained my BA in psychology. After working in a court mandated drug rehabilitation facility for teenagers in Chicago, I decided to make a significant switch to physical therapy. I then pursued a degree as a physical therapist assistant and worked in this realm first in Chicago and then on the Palouse for a total of 13 (?) years.

After starting my family, I decided it was time to go back to school again and this time obtained a MA degree in Physician Assistant at the University of Washington. This field has provided all that I have been searching for: working with people in a very close relationship, making a difference and will continue to challenge me every day.

Kim Guida

Philosophy of care: Everyone has a fundamental right to health care and, in partnership with their physician, they should have the opportunity to play an active role in their own care. My goal is to provide guidance, advice, and treatment based on current medical evidence, and to help my patients attain and maintain the best possible state of health. I believe that a long-term relationship with a trusted physician, one who has come to know each person's history, values, and goals is the key to excellent health care. It is truly a privilege to build these long-term relationships with families, to share in their joys and sorrows, and to be a trusted source of medical care and guidance over time.

Why did you decide to become a Family Medicine physician? In medical school, I believed I was best suited to the field of OB/GYN, because I loved providing pregnancy care and delivering babies. However, I realized that I missed following the babies I delivered and wondered how those mothers and fathers were handling parenthood. I wanted to see those babies grow to become toddlers and teenagers, while providing guidance to their parents during those demanding and joyous years. I could do all of that in Family Medicine, and I could treat diabetes, heart disease, asthma, skin cancer, infections, mental health problems --you name it. I chose a residency program that offered excellent training in obstetrics as well as broad-spectrum family medicine, moved from the east coast to the west, and have been practicing in Washington (except for 3 years in Idaho) ever since! After 20 years, I still find it challenging and energizing to be a family doctor.

 

Personal Interests: I love the Northwest for it tremendous access to outdoor activities. I enjoy hiking, biking, backpacking, rafting, and international travel. I also enjoy curling up with a good book, drinking coffee with friends, and watching movies. I am married and have two teenage girls. (Note: I both provide and readily accept any tips on raising teenagers!)

Philosophy of Care

My guiding principle is simple: "Care for my patients like family." This principle has always been at the core of my practice, and it defines my commitment to providing compassionate, comprehensive, and patient-centered care.

My passion in medicine has always been rooted in serving underserved communities. Over the years, I've had the privilege of witnessing the transformative impact of helping patients access essential care and connecting them with vital community resources.

At the heart of my philosophy is a firm belief that a strong doctor-patient relationship is built on attentive listening, trust, and mutual respect. I genuinely prioritize taking the time to deeply understand my patients' concerns, striving to create an environment where they feel not just like another case, but like valued individuals whose voices are heard.

One of the most rewarding aspects of being a primary care physician is the profound privilege of being present for my patients throughout various stages of their lives. I find immense joy in hearing their stories, sharing in their healthcare journey, and contributing to their overall well-being. It's a journey I cherish, and I'm deeply grateful to be a part of it.

Associate of Applied Science: Tennessee State University

Philosophy of Care: 

My unwavering commitment to compassion, inclusivity, and top-tier care ensures no one in the community is left behind. I specialize in skin health, from preventing skin cancer to providing diverse treatments. My mission is to empower, educate, and embrace diversity, dismantling barriers to access and fostering a healthier, more radiant community.

What do you want your patients to know going into an appointment?
I would want each of my patients to feel validated in their experience. I know if they’re in front of me it’s for a reason. I want to care for everyone and I would really hope that my patients know I am there to care for them.

Personal Interests:
My family, we love music. I studied music at the University of Idaho and was a singer before I was diagnosed with nodes on my vocal chords. Even though I wasn’t able to continue singing, I still love music and it’s something I love to do with my family.
