Michael Baker, DDS PC

Grab Dr. Baker if you can! He’s a great dentist — really top notch.
His whole office is full of smiling faces and people who get to know you and care about you. I’ve known Dr. Baker, Tiffany, Lilly, and Tiny for years — they are all aces.
Believe it or not, I look forward to dental visits because the whole experience at Dr. Baker’s office is refreshing and easy.
I found Dr. Baker from a coworker referral who overheard my problems with another dentist when I first moved to Austin. I have now given out 20 or so cards from Dr. Baker’s office to other people I know — everyone should have a dentist experience they love.

The staff are wonderful and I enjoyed the smiles on their faces. Dr baker and his staff explain the details on the visit and guide you through questions on cleaning. They also make payments as painless as possible.

Friendly staff and great place for total care.
Have been coming here for years for all of our family!

Along with my wife and three (now adult) children, we have been going to Dr. Baker since 1998. He is the BEST dentist I have had in my 50+ years. Fillings, root canals, crowns and regular cleaning. Very professional and competent yet has a sense of humor and very personable. His whole staff is equally competent and likable. The staff have mostly been with him for years so the operation is doing something right. My highest recommendation for Dr Baker’s practice. You won’t regret it.

My husband & I have been going to Dr. Baker since 1999. We have been through the whole dental gambit from routine teeth cleaning, root canals to emergency teeth extractions. We would NEVER think about seeing any other dentist. Everyone there are carrying, gentle, helpful professionals.
In my opinion, 16 years with no complaints is a very good track record!

Dr. B is personable, kind, patient, gentle, and funny! He and his staff have lots of personality and cater to every patient’s needs! Tina is amazing, sweet, helpful, knowledgeable, patient, funny, and super personable! :D Highly recommended!!! This practice truly cares about their patients!

I have been seeing Dr Baker for several years and he has been the best dentist I have ever had. He is willing to see you at any time for emergency treatment. I would highly recommend him

Our whole family comes her, two adults and two kids and we love Dr Baker and all of his staff. We have been coming here for 15 years and wouldn’t change it. Great with kids and adults.

Love Dr Baker and his entire staff. While I’d rather not visit the dentist, when I do I’m always greeted with such caring and welcoming staff. Dr Baker hasn’t recommended aggressive treatment of old fillings like my last dentist did who was, in my opinion, Trying to line his wallet. Appointments are on time and I’m in and out in no time.

I absolutely hate going to the dentist, but I truly love going to see these people. It’s been over 20 years they’ve taken care of me and my family with the very best every time and they only get better.

Ok so I’ve been to Dr. Baker three times now. Once for myself for a cleaning and checkup and twice for my daughter for check up and a filling. We are still relatively new patients but I must say I really enjoy his calming demeanor and how frank he is in explaining exactly what needs to be done with your teeth. Honestly I’ve always been nervous about going to the dentist but he and his staff really made me feel at ease. My daughter said he was pretty gentle with the novicaine shots and when he worked on her tooth. So, overall we are very happy new patients.
It’s a nice small office, nothing overly fancy but very clean. Staff is very pleasant to patients and each other. I will be back with the rest of my family for sure.

Went to Dr. Baker for the first this week. It was a very pleasant experience. About as good as a dentist appointment can go. The staff was very knowledgeable and nice. They knew all of the customers that came in by name, which was really cool. I would quickly recommend anyone who is looking for a dentist to go here.

I had a tremendous phobia of dentists due to an absolutely awful orthodontic experience in my teens. It had been over 10 years since I visited a dentist and I ended up with an abscessed tooth. Two coworkers had recommended Dr. Baker so I called and scheduled an appointment. He and his staff were absolutely amazing. They listened to my fears and sympathized.
Then they promised to do everything in their power to turn that experience around. They explain procedures before and as they’re being done. I felt absolutely no judgement or shame from them about the much needed dental work I had ahead of me.
Dr. Baker’s sense of humor is great and he really goes out of his way to put me at ease. I’ve gone from fearing the dentist to looking forward to my appointments. It’s not just Dr. Baker that makes this place great, it’s everyone on his office. They are fantastic!
I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dentist and even more so to the many with dental phobias.

Having experienced both high and poor quality dentistry in my lifetime, I am confident to say that Dr. Baker and his staff are wonderful. Tina his office manager is helpful and friendly. Lily, his assistant is wonderful.
Dr. Baker takes a novel approach (at least by current trend): He will assess you and suggest what you need, what you might want to consider in the near future and rank items in terms of importance. He doesn’t pressure you, he doesn’t seem to have the ‘drill ‘em, fill ‘em, bill ‘em’ mentality. Plus, he’s just a nice man. If you need a good dentist with affordable rates that accepts (some?) insurances, this is a great place. If you also would like to be seen by a staff dedicated to keeping your business by being friendly and working within your needs, this is the dental office for you.
Parking can be interesting at peak hours as they are in a small strip center. They close from noon to 1PM for lunch (it’s nice to see a medical/​dental office respect it’s employees enough to give them a proper lunch hour) and I believe they are open only Monday through Thursday. That being said, I’ve never struggled to get an appointment.

It’s safe to say that most people don’t like the dentist. Some people even feel pure dread upon their upcoming appointment. Well, I don’t really care for my teeth getting scraped on either, but with Dr. Baker’s office, I even look forward to it a little.
I’ve been going to the dentist here every six months for about 6 years now. I love the front desk staff and how they address you by name. Tiffany is my hygienist and she has a pleasant voice and is really nice. Dr. Baker is also a nice guy and very professional.
A bunch of my family go here, and you should too!

I have always avoided the dentist if possible. A friend recommended Dr. Baker when I just had to go becauue of a cracked filling. His staff were friendly, professional and dare I say, fun! I actualy scheduled a 6 mo cleaning when I left.

Dr. Baker and his staff are so great that I actually look forward to going to the dentist. They are very welcoming, right away you feel like you are going to be taken care of, and then they follow through, so they do take care of you.
I have referred several people to Dr. Baker and they all are happy with him and his employees. They agree that he is awesome at what he does but he also makes the whole experience good by keeping you informed, making you feel comfortable and doing a lot of preventative work so do run into problems later.
He is the best dentist I’ve ever had!

Whew, found a great dentist in Austin. As most people, the general of idea of going to the dentist is not a pleasant one, but Dr. Baker and his staff were very welcoming and great with our teeth! I had Tiffany and my girlfriend had Mel I believe and they were both great! I feel like I can get back into the «6 month thing» with Dr. Baker and will definitely come back to him!

A business that will tell you you don’t need to get a service done because it’s unnecessary is one to keep, I now have a mechanic and a dentist that do just that. For years I had been told one day my wisdom teeth would have to come out. Oh yeah? Well Dr. Baker without hesitation told me not a chance, there in and they’re there to stay. I’m sticking with this guy.
His chair-​side manor is fantastic, he’s always in a great mood and he explains everything with great patience and understanding. And no one gives a Novocaine shot like this guy, it’s like it’s not even happening.
His hygienists are also fantastic as are his administrators, all very friendly and professional.
Highly recommended, especially if the dentist normally makes you nervous, this guy will make it easy on you.

Let me start this off by saying this, I HATE going to the dentist. That, along with plane crashes, are my 2 major phobias. I craftily avoided going to the dentist by intercepting the scheduling reminder phone calls and canceling appointments, for nearly 6 straight years throughout high school and college. That deviance, combined with my awesome Irish genetics, resulted in some major dental work when I was finally caught by my furious mom and dragged back into my old dentist’s chair, who is back in RI (and shall remain nameless).
So, suffice to say, I’m a high maintenance dental patient (bleeding gums, sensitive teeth, a million cavities, TMJ, enough root canals to practically start counting on a second hand, you name it). My husband, who is aware of my issues, found Dr. Baker and I’m so glad he did. I love this office! The staff is super friendly and remember who you are and greet you by name when you walk through the door. Dr. Baker, himself, is awesome. I’ve had him do root canals and fillings and as horrible as those procedures are, they seem just a bit easier with him. He’s very laid back, has a great sense of humor, and is super empathetic to my neurotic anxieties. For a while, I had some issues with one of the hygienists (she hurt!) but I just went to Tiffany for a cleaning today (much gentler) and now this office gets the full 5 stars.
By the way, for those of you with kiddies, he seems to have a real knack with them, as well. His office is even going to donate to my Team in Training fund raising effort, which I thought was really indicative of their charitable spirit.
