An avid athlete — playing volleyball and soccer and competing at the national level — Baecker understands firsthand the types of orthopaedic injuries many patients face. She has also seen their impact within her own family, experiences that have shaped her empathy and strengthened her connection with those in her care.

Baecker says her decision to pursue nursing was inspired by a personal experience. "While in school, I was hospitalized in an ICU for several days due to illness. Even through my own discomfort, I couldn't help but notice the expert care I received from one particular nurse," she explains.

"She was not only exceptionally skilled technically, but the way she blended that knowledge with her humanity really touched my heart. From that experience, I knew instinctively that was what I was meant to do with my life."

Known for her relationship-focused approach, Baecker prioritizes listening, building trust, and creating individualized care for every patient. She has also worked extensively with children as a Child Care Provider, where she developed safe, nurturing environments and partnered closely with families to support each child's growth and development.

"At heart, I'm a problem-solver and someone who values building strong relationships," Baecker adds. "Those are traits I bring to every part of my life — whether it's my family, friends, or patients. That's why I'm so happy to be joining Crovetti Ortho, because Dr. Crovetti and the entire team share that same philosophy."

Dr. Crovetti says Baecker's compassion and dedication make her a natural fit for the practice. "All of us at Crovetti Ortho look forward to the high-quality care and compassion Lauren brings to her patients and to our team," he says. "She's going to be instrumental in continuing the kind of patient care we've worked hard to build over the years — and that's not easy to find."
