About Me:
Dr. Baird grew up in Iowa and first became interested in caring for patients with Parkinson’s disease and movement disorders when she worked as a nurse’s assistant in a nursing home. She studied French and Neuroscience at Grinnell College, and received her medical degree from Dartmouth Medical School. She and her husband moved to Portland for her neurology residency at OHSU and fell in love with the Pacific Northwest. She completed a fellowship in Movement Disorders at Oregon Health and Science University, where her research focused on identifying more sensitive biomarkers of early Parkinson's disease progression in order to design better clinical trials. She is especially interested in how neuroinflammation may contribute to the development of Parkinson's disease and how the immune system might be harnessed to protect and repair the brain. Outside of work, she enjoys hiking, baking, yoga, and spending time with her husband and daughter.

I found Dr Baird to be unprofessionally dressed or groomed. Her hair looked like she hadn't really spent much time combing it that morning. I expect a much more professional representation of the legacy group. She typed the entire time and really hadn't read all my notes. Just the last visit 4 yrs ago. It was a waste of my time and just referred me to a different neurologist. I'm very very disappointed in the practice. I have been trying to get an appointment for 1yr with an older established physician.

Dr Baird listened to my concerns and addressed them all. She explained her diagnosis very well.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
My only concern is that I had to wait 6 months to see Dr. Baird, although I realize it was probably due to the pandemic and I don't have a life threatening condition- migraines.

I will miss Dr. Baird when she relocates.

I thought the Dr. Was very knowledgeable and really paid attention to me.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I appreciate how she spoke with me, and she knew just what to ask in relation with my issues. I have never felt more seen by a doctor before and I truly hopes this means I'll finally get the help necessary to live long enough to see my kids grow up

Professional, friendly

Dr Baird was very attentive. She knew what she was doing and was very thorough. She is approachable; she allowed time to ask questions and she was kind and upfront. I like that I can have easy access, via email, with her. The only thing which is on the negative was it took 5 months getting an appointment.

Cell phone keyboard is too small for long response.

Doctor Baird saw me for the first time as a as a follow on Doctor Baird saw me for the first time as a follow up on my stroke issues. She was genuinely concerned and has a plan in place and will see me again in six months.She also had her physician assistant Arthur with her as well as another doctor named Marie. She spent quite a bit of time analyzing my medical record and as I said has a plan in place.

Dr. Baird is wonderful!

Doctor got me in during her lunch hour because her calendar was so full after I tested positive for Covid during my regular scheduled appointment
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
The Dr was very good at explaining and listening. That is most important to me.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Disappointed to hear this excellent provider is changing locations. Just got started with her & felt secure in care with recent diagnosis. Also I never time visits, besides no clocks visible.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr Jill Baird is exceptional and I have had hundreds of doctors. She's a human doing medicinal healing for humans instead of a practitioner practicing medicine on illnesses.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Very good at listening and evaluating that I could understand.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I waited for this appt. For 3 months. During that time, I utilized other doctors to conduct tests that Dr. Baird might need to determine my issues. I also phones her assistant multiple times with concerns and trying to get in sooner. At my visit, she had all of the records needed plus did a thorough examination of physical skills and asked questions to make a diagnosis. What was very irritating though was the questionnaire sent in email before appt. Was not available to ber during appt. I soent 1.5 hrs filling this out and it included a lot of nuero logical questions and symptoms I am experiencing, so I felt like I had to remember /share everything again. It was also frustrating that I had to wait 3 months for this appt. While experiencing neurological issues that were worsening . None of this is Dr. Baird's fault though.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr. Jill was definitely thorough. I enjoy my appointments with her.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
It was hard to get an appointment. Has Parkinson's and it is a fast growing type. Needs full 24 hr. care.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
She is very knowledgeable about my areas of concern. On a personal note, she has a warm personality and good sense of humor.

Would love it if more attention was paid to pronouns & gendered language. I am non-binary and this can otherwise negatively impact what was an awesome doctors visit -

The provider listened and ordered appropriate tests.

I am very happy with Dr. Jill Baird. I have been to, two others in different states. I feel the best , is what I am fortunate enough to have found in Dr. Jill Baird.. I know she has many patients, but she makes me feel well taken care of.

Dr. Baird is terrific. The best.

I was somewhat disappointed that nothing could be found that was causing my balance problems. Dr. Baird was the third neurologist I have seen regarding balance problems. All have concluded it is not a neurological issue.

Informed, pleasant, interested in me.

1. Was on time. 2. Had sufficient time to cover all topics. 3. Knew all issues w/diagnosis.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Ridiculous to have to wait 6 mo. for appointment.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr and staff are great but they ABSOLUTELY need more drs and staff support so they can have more appts for patients. It took 5 months to get an appointment, three before I could even get scheduled, just told to call back in few months! I went without medical botox for 6 months and will now take another 6 just to get to the place where I was when I tried to get my first appointment, transferring from OHSU care, getting exact same injections, I even formally got from this exact Legacy clinic, just a different dr. But because it was over 3 yrs, I was considered New Patient, and again... MONTHS to get appointment. PLEASE HIRE MORE NEURO DR and staff. I am almost regretting changing provider companies because of this overall problem at Legacy with most clinics I've needed to establish care. Truly rather ridiculous. But again, Dr Baird and her team were awesome. Looking forward to my other appointments WHEN I can get in!

Because we were coming from a different place, and the traffic was terrible, we were very late for our appointment. Dr. Baird was very patient, understanding and kind.

I was very satisfied and the provider met or exceeded my expectations.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
It took me 9 months of waiting for this visit and she behaved as though she didn't have time for my questions. Also she seemed slightly dismissive of my condition, as though it weren't serious enough for her attention.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Provider made time to see me despite my being late for the appt. Thank you.
