I don't know anyone who jumps up and down excited that it is time to go to the dentist. Certainly I do not. But if I have to go, I am thrilled that it is to Dr. Baker. After going to a couple of places who tried to upsell me - I know that sounds crazy right? Like I get a waiter upselling, but a dentist? Yep, one insisted I needed a new crown and super expensive procedure because the tip of an instrument broke off when it was put in - 15 years prior. It had never bothered me. Happily the second opinion agreed, there was no reason to go through all of that pain and expense. 5 years later, it is still fine. Dr. Baker is friendly - but cuts to the chase. Tells you like it is. You feel like you can trust him to tell you the good and the bad. His staff is professional, friendly, and super loyal to him. That says a lot about him as a dentist, a business owner, and a human. read more

This was my first visit, but I've heard amazing stories about Dr. Baker for years from my wife, who works for him--and now I understand why patients drive over 100 miles just to come back. I knew he's a man of integrity who always puts the patient's best interest first. But I think it's really his patient care that sets him apart. I hadn't had a cavity in years, but this time I needed a filling. Dr. Baker was amazing at setting expectations and explaining every step of the process. And I didn't know it was possible to not feel any pain or soreness for a filling--not even during the injection or any part of the treatment. He was that gentle. I truly can't recommend him more. read more

Dr. Baker was recommended to us by our orthodontist 3 years ago. Yes, this is backwards, but we grew tired of our previous dentists who tried to up-sell us at each visit. Since we appreciate our orthodontist, we asked him for a recommendation. If you're tired of dentists telling you that you need a cap (I was actually told I needed one 5 years ago and I still don't need one) or other unnecessary work, then switch to Dr. Baker. He and his staff are a no-nonsense type of practice. They take care of exactly what you need without the added push to spend more money. During this pandemic we're watching our expenses even more closely and making sure we're ready for the long haul. Thanks Dr. Baker and staff for taking care of our entire family! read more

My son and I are new patients. We were referred by one of my co-workers. The entire staff is friendly and treat you like family. I am very happy with the service thus far! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Awesome doctor and staff! Before I found him, I went to a large dental practice who told me that I had several cavities and needed fillings. Good thing they took to long to prep me so I walked out. After that my coworker recommended Dr Baker and he did not find any cavities. He's very honest and great bedside manners. I've been going to him for 18 years and I've never had any issues with my teeth since going to him. I highly recommend him! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Dr. Baker and his team are AMAZING! So much so that my entire extended family come here for all of our dental needs. My son actually asks to come to the dentist! read more

Michael Baker, DDS - Still loves it! - General Dentistry Near Me - Austin, Texas

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! read more

Dr. Baker is awesome. I was a patient in the early 90's then moved to Georgetown. Although it wasn't far, I had small children so I chose a dentist in Georgetown. Fast forward 25 years, the kids are grown and I am now ready for a beautiful smile. I did have braces so they were straight, but my teeth have always been discolored. I knew I wanted a full mouth of crowns. I trusted Dr. Baker so I called him up. I made the right choice!! My smile is beautiful. The work in the chair was long but Dr. Baker and Lily made sure I was always comfortable. They also made me laugh. :) The lab made beautiful teeth and the temps weren't bad. I recommend anyone to Dr. Baker. His staff is as awesome as he is. 5 Stars all around. read more

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! read more

I have been going to Dr. Baker for years and would never consider switching to another as long as I live in the Austin surrounding area. The advertising these days for dentist can be appealing, but let me tell you, he and his staff are worth every penny. The personal attention to every single detail of your health is astonishing. The teamwork and comradery is what makes his staff so great! read more

For a dentist-phobic person like me, Dr. Baker and his friendly, excellent, knowledgeable staff make dental visits a pleasant experience. His expertise and friendly, calming "bedside manner" is awesome and keeps me coming back for routine checkups - highly recommended. read more

I recommend Dr. Baker to anyone I can! He's an amazing dentist with a great attitude and sense of humor. His whole office is full of very sweet people who are always helpful and on point for everything!! I actual look forward to going to the dentist because Dr. Baker is so great. I drive in all the way from Paige, Tx to Austin, Tx each time I need to see him, plus my 2 yearly cleanings. The staff and Dr. Baker are absolutely amazing!!! Call them now! read more

He has been my dentist since I was 14 and I won't go to another dentist. I can trust him for anything from a cleaning to an extraction (when I was teen). He is great, great bedside manner and never a dull moment at the office. And Tina at the front desk is always very pleasant when you call to make an appt. read more

I have been going to Dr. Baker for a year or more now and it has been a wonderful experience. Recently I have had to get a cavity filling done and the experience was really great. Very good staff overall and excellent service and care. Can't recommend enough. read more

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. read more

I have had really bad experiences with Dentist in the past so it's always hard for me to find one I feel comfortable with. I went to Dr Baker after not seeing a dentist for over 10 years. He did not judge me or make me feel uncomfortable, he was funny, friendly and understanding. I have been going to him for 4 years now and can't say enough good things about him and his staff. Everyone there is friendly and helpful. read more

We've been coming to Dr. Baker for the past decade or more. They do a great job each time, are very helpful, personable & friendly. We definitely recommend Dr. Baker & his staff for your dental needs. read more

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. read more

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! read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Baker for 10 years, and now my whole family sees him. He's the best dentist I've ever had. One thing I really like is that he doesn't harass me about my teeth. Previous dentists would always criticize me for not flossing enough or whatever. If my teeth were perfect, I wouldn't need to see a dentist! I go every six months because, no matter how hard I try, there's always some plaque or something that needs to be cleaned off. Dr. Baker happily cleans my teeth and sends me on my way, and with a goodie bag. I also trust Dr. Baker to know what he's talking about and not recommend a procedure I don't need. One previous dentist told me that my fillings needed to be replaced. Sure enough, after he removed one, he exclaimed, "Hmmm looks like there's nothing wrong after all." read more

Dr. Baker is the best dentist I've ever had. And I've had several. He is friendly and treats you like a person, not a number. He is cool and funny and he truly cares about his patients and cares about doing good quality work. He absolutely won't do unnecessary work. And he is 100% PAIN-FREE !! Highly recommended. read more

Dr. Baker and his staff offer the best dental services in the Austin area! My wife and I have been patients for many years and travel from Georgetown to receive the quality and compassionate dental care. The office manager, Tina, always has a kind word to share and willing to take the time to answer any questions. The hygienist, Tiffany, always ensures your teeth are cleaned to perfection. The dental assistant, Lilly, complements the outstanding work performed Dr. Baker whom I trust and respect. read more

Switched to Dr. Baker about 5 years ago and very thankful. He and his staff are alway up-beat and enjoyable to be around. They make the dentist experience as good as possibly can be and I would highly recommend him to all friends and family. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I went to Dr. Baker based on yelp reviews and am SOOO glad I did. This was by far my best experience at a dentist's office. Dr. Baker and his staff were amazing! There was no wait time before my appointment, and everyone was really knowledgeable and personable. I walked away feeling as though I had a great check-up and will definitely return for my 6 month check-up. read more

Easily the best dentist I've been to. Super friendly and total experts. There is a lot of genuine care in the office all around. Love that you get your own cove when you're getting work done, very comfortable. You literally don't need to get up out the chair; xrays and everything are done right there. Could not recommend any other dentist over Dr. Baker and his crew. read more
