She specializes in neuroinflammatory diseases, with a focus on multiple sclerosis (MS). She is fluent in English, Spanish and Mandarin. After earning her medical degree from the University of Vermont Larner College of Medicine, Dr. Laitinen completed her neurology residency at Yale University, serving as chief resident. Prior to joining Baptist Health, Dr. Laitinen earned support from the National MS Society (NMSS) as a Clinical MS Fellow at Columbia University to develop her expertise in the study and treatment of MS and neuroimmunological disorders. Through her commitment to providing evidence-based, patient-focused care, Dr. Laitinen has earned various awards, including the 2023 Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers (CMSC) MS Mentorship Forum Scholarship.

Her research on the discovery, application and efficacy of innovative therapies for neuroinflammatory conditions – particularly multiple sclerosis, systemic inflammatory diseases and neurotoxicity – can be found in peer-reviewed publications such as Neurology Clinical Practice and The Neurohospitalist. By combining new and advanced therapies with holistic wellness, Dr. Laitinen creates individualized care plans to help her patients reach their fullest potential. As a potential lifelong partner to her patients with chronic illness, she supports them through every step of their journey. From overcoming the stress of a new diagnosis, to finding a treatment plan that accommodates their goals, Dr. Laitinen helps each patient live their best life.
