If you are looking for an orthodontist. Dr. Baker is THE ONE. Let me start by explaining my situation. I am in my late 20s and I had braces when I was 16. My teeth were perfect for about 6 years after getting my traditional braces off. My incisor teeth began to crowd. I have spent about $1500 on retainers (because wearing the same retainer for 10+ years seems gross and they become loose).
And I figured, mine as well use my insurance to get them straight again and have a retainer included with the cost. I have been to another orthodontist in the Escondido area. It was a generic experience. I decided to cancel. Finally I FOUND DR BAKER. He had SEVERAL suggestions! Very impressed with his knowledge and precise ability to calculate movement and space.
I got lingual braces (braces behind the teeth). I had an allergic reaction to Invisalign with another practice and I wouldn't want conventional braces at my age. He called to see how I was doing. Price was fair! And service is quick. The financial manager is very personable and not pushy at all. Payment options are organized and, clear. He is really a genius and it is not an understatement. Please schedule a consultation! Don't fall for the generic orthodontist. Dr. baker truly cares about the outcome and how you feel during your treatment

The absolute best! Dr. Baker is incredibly knowledgeable, patient and caring. He did an amazing job with my daughter, who had a difficult orthodontic case. He was always available for her, and checked on her often after procedures to make sure she was okay. His staff is friendly and helpful, their customer service is top notch! I wouldn't go anywhere else!

Dr. Baker and his staff are incredible! They truly go above and beyond to create a comfortable orthodontic experience. Dr. Baker explains each step thoroughly and always takes time to answer any questions. He and his staff are all friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Both of my children received extensive orthodontic treatment with fabulous results! I recommend his office to all of my friends!

My dentist bugged me for years to get braces so I finally did. She recommended Dr Baker and it was the Best decision I could make. I have a great smile and am not embarrassed about showing my teeth. My appointments were never long and the staff was very friendly and professional. Dr Baker is one of the best Orthodontists in the business. Thank you all again, I should have done it sooner

I have come to Dr. Baker for all four of my children's orthodontic needs. We interviewed several orthodontists and it was unanimous- Dr. Baker was "the one" for all of us. He's thorough, compassionate, patient, and practical (he's a parent, too). Four different children also means four different approaches, because surprisingly, they're not all the same! Dr. Baker comes out to the waiting room at EVERY visit to explain what was done, and why, and what's next.
This is a rare and much appreciated quality in healthcare these days- patience and understanding that we need these extra minutes of explanation in order to move forward comfortably. In addition to Dr. Baker, the staff is the other reason I have to recommend Baker Orthodontics. They are professional, kind, knowledgeable, helpful and generally fantastic.
From the reception, to the assistants, to billing, everyone in the office is wonderful. Most of all, results are the best thing I can offer as a referral. My children have beautiful smiles that give them confidence and self esteem that will last a lifetime. Thank you!

All six of our children, as well as my husband, went to Dr. Baker and they all have beautiful smiles. I liked the initial consultations, because Dr. Baker was terrific about explaining the treatment options, and I always left feeling comfortable that I understood the treatment plan, and impressed with Dr. Baker's knowledge and skill. He was great about answering questions from any of us and and the office staff was easy to work with. Everybody is happy with their smiles and my husband and my children really liked him. If I had to do it again, I would make the same decision. He is a terrific orthodontist.

Dr. Baker is the best! He did a great job with my 2 siblings and my braces when we were all teens and then again fixing my teeth as an adult (I didn't wear my retainer). His staff is really friendly, his office is welcoming and he does great work! I love my new smile and I would definitely recommend Baker Orthodontics.

My son is a relatively new patient to Baker Orthodontics and I have been so impressed by the quality care and professionalism at Baker Orthodontics. Dr. Baker and his staff took the time to demonstrate and explain the treatment my son would receive in a comprehensible way. After my son had his upper, permanent retainer put in, Dr. Baker even called personally a few days later to check on him.
When my son lost his retainer, Dr. Baker and his staff generously and graciously replaced it. I have so appreciated how personable and kind Dr. Baker and his staff are while demonstrating top notch care. I highly recommend Baker Orthodontics!

All my smile compliments go to this guy, Dr. Brad Baker (and good genes from my parents)! My parents took me to Brad in 1999 for braces. I had them on for a little over a year. He is informative, patient, and realistic. I remember loving the wooden coins he gave out for a good check up and you can exchange them for some pretty cool prizes. Highly recommend!

I have to agree with Leigh K. on her review. Dr Baker and his staff is a professional and caring office that make orthodontic correction less stressful and more enjoyable. My daughter's smile is priceless compared to what we paid for and endured for the last 3 years. But, I remember that my daughter did not have any reservations or fear in going to her orthodontic appointments, in fact she looked forward to it!
The administrative staff provides efficient service with a caring attitude. The hygenists were friendly and supportive and Dr. Baker really loves what he does.makling sure that smiles are forever being shared with people. There are so many positive testimonies and patients that have been through Dr. Baker's office. It was cool at one appointment, a previous patient of Dr. Baker's came back to surprise the staff on his own with a special rendition on his bagpipes, right outside the office!
On another, the patient's mother instructed her son to bring lumpia for the staff! You reap what you sow, and the love from Dr. Baker and staff certainly continues to grow and be appreciated by their loving patients. We received many recommendations from friends and we can see the love and care that continues to be giving from all the smiles and laughter that we see!

I had to write. this can just be a bit of a testament. I went to Baker and Baker Orthodontics in the early 90s. Back then they weren't in their present location, and it was a father-son team. I didn't love having braces, but I love what having braces did for my smile. The Bakers (Guy and Brad) and the rest of the staff were always friendly and funny. It made the experience less painful. Thanks to them, I still have beautifully straight teeth. And I did follow their directions and wear my retainers.
