Squalicum Family Medicine

Matt Baer, MD

I was born and raised in Tacoma, Wash., and I am so pleased that I’m able to continue living and working in the Pacific Northwest with Family Care Network.

I completed my undergraduate degree in biochemistry at University of Portland before moving to the Midwest to attend medical school at Creighton University School of Medicine. I completed my family medicine residency at University of Washington. After residency, I was hired as executive lead (formerly known as chief resident) at the University of Washington family medicine residency, helping to teach and serve the next generation of family physicians. I am board certified in family medicine.

I am excited to join my patients at every stage of life. From the birth journey to navigating the senior years and everything in between, I promise to be a guide and resource to all my patients. I have a particular interest in pregnancy care, mental health, and sports medicine.

Outside of work, I enjoy a variety of hobbies and activities. Hiking, gardening, mountain climbing, and cycling are some of my outdoor pursuits, along with reading, playing musical instruments, visiting nice coffee shops, and frequenting the Bellingham Farmers Market.

Dr. Baer is proud to provide OB care. When OB care is provided by a family physician, it is unique in many ways! Learn more.
