PATIENT REVIEWS

My two teenage sons have been seen at Baker Orthodontics for several years.  We have had a positive experience all around.  We were initially a little skeptical when Dr. Baker recommended orthognathic surgery for our older son, and our pediatrician’s comments added to our hesitancy.  After getting resounding unsolicited agreement about positive surgery outcomes from a new dentist, we hesitantly moved forward.  Our fears and worries were unfounded.  The surgery and recovery were not a huge deal, and our son has been so pleased with the outcome.   His recovery was pretty simple, and now he sleeps better,  his bite feels so much better,  and we are hopefully avoiding health issues in his future related to sleep apnea, teeth grinding, and the cascade of other health issues that can result.  Now that the surgery is behind us, I am so grateful that we saw Dr. Baker and that we trusted his recommendations for our son.  I will also say that both the Doctor and his office staff have been helpful in every way, from accommodating appointment changes, to helping with insurance issues.  Our experience with their office has exceeded our expectations.

I am about halfway through my Invisalign, and I am very pleased with Dr. Baker. His staff is friendly and professional. Dr. Baker listens to your questions and concerns attentively and takes time to explain. He is someone you want to trust with a long-time asset like your teeth. I will post when I am all done. The experience so far exceeds my expectations.

My son was referred to Dr. Baker because he is a mouth breather. He is only 5, so was not thinking he would need to see an orthodontist. Dr. Baker took about 30 minutes to do a free consultation with measurements and great explanations of what he found. There are a lot of things that can be done at a young age to help with pallate growth and to decrease the potential for needing braces in the future. More importantly he found that my son had a very obstructed airway due to large adenoids. We are very grateful to be working with Dr. Baker and his team.

Dr. Baker is truly a one-of-a-kind orthodontist. We were impressed with the initial consultation where he recommended things two other orthodontists missed. He helped me as I was diagnosed with sleep apnea after a sleep study. Dr. David Baker and his staff were always super nice and willing to see us outside of office hours. I was always comfortable and their office was fun too which was a plus. And I love their hot chocolate and coffee machine! I never write reviews but I had to let people know to come here.

LOVE BAKER ORTHO!! Every-time I walked through the door I was always greeted with a smile and the service is fast, it’s so easy to communicate with them!! The whole experience between my expander to my braces was just effortless. Thanks to Dr. Baker I found out what was causing my sleep apnea and got it all taken care of!! Thank you Baker Orthodontics!!

I needed to have jaw surgery for my overbite and my dentist recommended that I consult with Dr. Baker. On my first appointment with Dr. Baker, he immediately knew the orthodontic treatment needed to prepare for the surgery. He worked in collaboration with my surgeon and acheived aligning my teeth perfectly for the surgery. Post-surgery, my teeth and jaws finally fit together how they were always meant to. Throughout the treatment process the Office Manager, Shelly, has been incredibly accomodating and nice. Dr. Baker, Shelly, Dawnelle, Tiffany, Rachel and everyone else on the staff are personable and skilled. They even helped me to plan the treatment around my wedding date (I had my top braces taken off for my wedding and then put back on). Also mentionable, is that the office has a great atmosphere and is always festive for the holidays. I highly recommend Dr. Baker and his staff.

This place has plenty of private parking but it shares its parking lot with other businesses. The office is on the second floor. I always come by appointment. The wait is never long when I come. They do not get bent out of shape if I am a little late. The staff is wonderful. They also have a TV playing Netflix in the waiting room. They have bottled water and toothbrush for those waiting. Great!

Dr. Baker and his entire team at his Portland office are just awesome! I really felt like I could trust Dr. Baker’s expertise to make sure that my teeth came out perfect. He even recommended me to have a lower jaw surgery to correct my overbite, which turned out to be a great decision. This is all without mentioning the amazing and friendly staff and assistants, who make every visit personal, but also as quick and easy as possible. If you need orthodontic work and live in the Portland area, I would highly recommend Dr. Baker, He is fantastic!

We have been going to Dr. Baker for years and he has seriously been life changing! The workers are always so sweet and polite. One memory I have that I will never forget is when Dr. Baker turned on the One Direction Pandora station because he knew I loved them. Such nice people that do such amazing this. I gotta tell you, he made my teeth so beautiful and straight when it was a mess before! Thanks Dr. Baker for all you did!

Dr. Baker and the rest of the people who work there were all really nice people they listen to any concerns you have they also treated my teeth well they did a really good job at making my retainer so you should go see them cause they take really good care of your teeth and they do a very good job at what they do.

As a dental professional I am very particular about my care and providers. I couldn’t be more pleased with my treatment and experience at Baker Orthodontics. Dr. Baker is an exceptional practitioner and the ladies that make up his support staff are always friendly and enjoyable to be around. If your looking for a fantastic new smile and a pleasant experience, look no further 🙂

I got my braces off today and feel like a new person! As an adult needing braces, I have to admit I was nervous and unsure what to expect. From my first consult nearly two years ago to my visit today Dr Baker and his team have been nothing short of spectacular! They are friendly, fun and very welcoming each and every visit. I would look forward to the next visit not only for the wonderful people, but I could see my progress and I knew everything we were doing was working! Every time I had a question or concern it was addressed with helpful information. I have lived with a smile I was ashamed of for nearly twenty years, and have to say today is the first day I have smiled and been proud of it! I recommend Dr Baker and his team to any person of any age, they are amazing!

So this week has been the beginning of the end for me. I had my braces taken off, finally. However, there something kinda sad about it. I will actually miss my orthodontist and his staff. They were great and always willing to lend a kind word when I didn’t think I could make it through the treatment. (Okay, so my treatment was a bit extreme.) The staff were always willing to get me into the office when it would be convenient for my schedule and willing to make sure I was out to make it to work on time. Dr. Baker took his time with me, answered all of my questions no matter how silly, and listened to my concerns and thoughts. If you or a loved one needs orthodontic treatment I would whole-heartedly recommend Dr. Baker. Visit his website and his office davidbakerortho.com.

I interviewed orthodontists before I chose Dr. Baker to work with. I find him open-minded and up-to-date on new technology, which I like. The dental assistants are all upbeat and very efficient. They always had time to answer my questions and explain what they were doing. While wearing braces isn’t always easy, the staff at Baker Orthodontics made it as simple as possible and I appreciate that very much. Best of all, my mouth feels and looks so much better. I am really happy with the whole process.

Dr. Baker and his staff are wonderful!! I had two sets of braces prior to seeing Dr.Baker and my bite and teeth were never fully fixed. Dr.Baker suggested surgery to fix my bite and now the results are amazing. I have never been so excited about my smile! Him and his staff are so friendly and make you feel right at home every visit. Thank you Dr. Baker!

Dr. Baker and his staff are fabulous! Dr. Baker provided comprehensive orthodontic care for both of our daughters, and our girls have absolutely beautiful smiles! The transformation has dramatically improved our oldest daughter’s confidence and self esteem. Wish I could add a picture to this review! Additionally, we are eternally grateful of Dr. Baker, as our two sons (both younger than their sisters) were both found by Dr. Baker during their initial orthodontic evaluations, to have enormously enlarged adeniods, which was blocking their airway via their their nostrils by 100% for our odlest son and by 80%+ for our youngest son, and Dr. Baker recommended we follow up with an Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) specialist for an additional opinion. We seeked out an ENT through our health insurance provider, and sure enough, their evaluation was drawn to the same conclusion. Both boys had such large adenoids, that their palate growth had actually been impeded. We were unaware of the significance, and we may never had known this, had it not been for Dr. Baker’s thorough evaluations. Both boys had their adenoids removed surgically by the ENT specialist, and the boys are amazed on how much easier it is to breathe via their nostrils, and their snoring at night has ceased completely! The boys are increasing their sports abilities, and I give credit to the fact that they are now getting better nights’ sleep and providing their growing and busy bodies more oxygen. Our oldest son is now scheduled for Dr. Baker to start orthodontic treatment in about two weeks, and we are ecstatic!

Dr. Baker and his staff are amazing. Both our boys have been seeing him for the past two years. He is kind, calm and knowledgeable. The staff are warm and accommodating with scheduling. One of our sons just got out of braces and his teeth cannot be any more beautiful and straight. Our other son needed to go through braces and jaw surgery and back to braces, which we knew about before seeing Dr. Baker. Dr. Baker helped us with the referral and the selection of the surgeon. He’s wonderful in following up and calling to check on his patients. With two locations for Baker Orthodontics in Portland & Vancouver, you can always get in if needed. We highly recommend Baker Orthodantics.

I was very satisfied with my one year of braces at Baker Orthodontics. While getting braces can be a very tough experience, they made it simple and friendly so I didn’t have to worry about any issues or get scared to go in for a checkup.. Whenever I came to the office I was greeted with smiles and warm welcomes, and if I had an issue they always made sure to help me fix it. I am both very satisfied with the service that was provided and how wonderfully my smile turned out. Thank you very much!

I almost couldn’t have asked for a better treatment, everyone was friendly and obviously knew how to do their job. This whole business is run smoothly and it’s not just about the money for them, they obviously care about you as a person as opposed to you as a means of funding. You can trust Dr. Baker and everyone else here to help you get a perfect smile.

Dr. Baker and the nurses at Baker Orthodontics are very friendly and helpful. The office is always clean and is located at a good spot; which makes commuting very easy. I’m very pleased about how my teeth turned out, and Dr. Baker did everything he promised to do in a reasonable amount of time. I highly recommend Baker Orthodontics for people of all ages.

Thank you Dr. Baker for fixing my smile! You listened to me and gave me my smile back after having such a bad experience at another Orthodontist. I can smile again and not feel self conscious! Thank you again for giving me back my smile! I drove from Longview, WA to see Dr. Baker and it was worth the drive to get excellent care. I highly recommend Dr. Baker. His staff is also very kind.

Dr. Baker and his staff are very professional, friendly and fun. Both of my teens are patients who have had palette expanders and braces. My daughter’s braces came off this week and she is delighted with the results. Their front office staff are friendly and helpful. We felt as if we understood the expectations of the process from start to finish. It was easy to make and change appointments. My daughter would recommend Dr. Baker to all of her friends.

It’s been a roller coaster ride the last year and a half and my braces are finally off. Half way through my treatment, I had an accident right before my jaw surgery that knocked out a few of my teeth. Had it not been for Dr. Baker, I would’ve been lost in the chaos with all the different specialists I needed to see and coordinate with. With this accident happening, my standard orthodontic treatment became a more complicated case and the amount of care and empathy really showed through with Dr. Baker and his team so I owe them the world. From my experience, Dr. Baker shows that he looks at every case individually and understands from a holistic point of view what would be the best outcome. His passion and knowledge shows that he really cares about the overall functionality of someone’s bite but also the overall balance between your jaw, teeth, and face. As far as the staff and office goes, all my appointments have been very timely and everyone I’ve interacted with are so kind and patient. If you’re looking for quality orthodontic treatment from a TRUE specialist, then look no further because I know that Dr. Baker is going to be the best.

Dr. Baker and his staff are super and gave me the smile I think I was intended to have! All my l life, I have struggled with mis-aligned teeth and have had several orthodontists over the years. Dr. Baker took time to listen, worked to create a plan that would correct my teeth, which are now straight! The staff members are friendly, patient and helpful. And you can rest assured that the office has the latest technology to make sure you are getting the best treatment possible. You won’t be sorry you made this decision!

I am very glad that my family chose Baker Orthodontics for my orthodontic treatment (an expander, braces, and corrective jaw surgery). Both I and two of my siblings have received very high quality orthodontic treatment from them. Dr. Baker and his team have an incredibly elevated attention to detail, and I was ecstatic with the results. Plus, the entire staff is so friendly and provides a really personal, fun experience. Thanks to all of you!

Dr. Baker has been treating my daughter and I for a few years now. We are SO incredibly grateful for him and his staff. In a way we have become family. My daughter and I came in for the same reasons, but our journeys were far from the same. Dr. Baker and his team have made our journeys seamless, and without any worry or hiccups. Anyone I know that needs to have orthodontic anything done, should definitely go see him. He and his team are so warm and kind, helpful and patient. Incredibly knowledgeable, and flexible with whatever need you may have. TRUST me!! lol.. Anyway I could go on and on about how amazing he is, but you’ll just have to go see for yourself. -MP

Dr. Baker and his team are just incredible. My smile will never be the same. I had my braces done here and the results were life changing! The environment was friendly and inviting and was enjoyable from the beginning. We have never experienced any problems, and always looked forward to being greeted with warm smiles. Staff are caring and compassionate, orthodontists careful and precious. I would absolutely recommend Baker Orthodontics if you are ever in need of any orthodontic care. Thanks again to all of you!

Confidence when smiling is a feeling everyone should have. Choosing my orthodontist Dr Baker to perfect my smile has been an excellent experience. As a child I never had braces but as an adult wanted to have a few teeth straightened out to make me confident in my smile once again. At Dr Baker’s office, I am always greeted by a friendly staff, followed by a quick check in. On my first visit my treatment plan was explain by Dr Baker including how long it would take, the significant health benefits (I had no idea it was not just cosmetic) and why he was recommending the specific treatment plan. Scheduling my follow up appointments is always easy which is important to me because I travel for work. His staff is also amazing. When I go in for check ups they are all easy to talk to which makes the appointment go by quickly and they all are excellent at explaining what there doing, which makes the appointment relaxing. I highly recommend going to Baker Orthodontics for your child or as an adult. As I mentioned in my original review I travel for work often, Dr Baker has two offices and was flexible and let me come to his office in Portland, OR for a visit because I had a meeting near his office. Consistently provides great customer service.

Going to see Dr. Baker for about 3 years was and will be the best dental offices I’ve ever been to. His whole staff walked me through the process when I had my first appointment and are some of the friendliest people i have ever met. I would highly recommend Dr.Baker to anyone who is looking for braces or any kind of work he does.

Dr. Baker is very patient, calming, and at ease working with adults (surprised to learn last year when searching not always case). Plus who knew east side Clark Co had a jaw (surgery) expert right here. I visited 5 other Drs. first based on Dr. referral and reviews. The PDX orthos added an extra fee to treatment price if they had to speak/work with my Dr. Plus all had larger offices some reminding me of a factory with over double the chairs. While a bit challenging during the virus re-opening phases; in normal times having a smaller office preferred as Dr. Baker is always on top of what’s going on at each patient station. Only downside is two offices but having OR was a benefit during virus shutdown as they opened first. Given it’s my third time, and then my first jaw surgery had a complication requiring a second which will result in wearing braces 4-6 months longer than projected, Dr. Baker has been able to roll with the speed bumps and acted as a trusted guardian to ensure the surgeon did not go outside the lanes 🙂
