About Kathy K. Bak
Since early childhood, becoming a physician was always Dr. Bak’s dream. “Watching Little House on the Prairie as a 5-year-old,” she says, “I wanted to be Doc Baker.” Today, Dr. Bak is the modern-day equivalent, taking great joy in “the relationships built upon trust and respect for one another.”
As a board-certified family physician, Dr. Bak emphasizes preventive and proactive care. Her holistic approach encompasses physical, emotional and mental well-being. “My most important role is to be a trusted advisor, guiding patients to a life of wellness and happiness,” she says. “It’s my goal to help you live a healthy, full and abundant life, unencumbered by the limitations of disease and illness.”
A graduate of the University of California, Riverside, Dr. Bak earned her medical degree at the American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine. She completed her family practice internship and residency at Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill.
Outside of her dream job, she is a self-proclaimed foodie. “A plate of delicious food in front of me,” she says, “with a loved one sitting next to me, makes me feel that all is good with the world.”

Dr. Bak is a relatively new provider for me. I've seen her three times now over about seven months. She seems competent but isn't very forthcoming with her comments/answers/medical opinions, isn't very directive and doesn't seem enthusiastic about seeing her patients. In other words, she is somewhat distant and only minimally sociable/friendly. Each time I've seen her, I've left the appointment feeling incomplete and dissatisfied, not truly 'heard'. I have as many questions when I leave as when I walk in.

Very impressed with Dr. BAK and the Cedar Mill facility. My appointment to get established was calm, relaxed, unrushed.
