I've been going to Dr Baker for about 15 years, ever since being recommended, during which time he has done cavities, root and general cleaning. He has certificates for latest training and hygiene, has a 10 minute cleaning routine prior to each next client, his equipment ha always been the latest, he obviously knows it well being one of those enthusiastic and rather pedantic people - exactly as you'd wish for your dentist.

Is his work good? I don't know, I'm not qualified to say, but at age 58 I still have all my teeth and in better condition than when I first went to him. I suspect he is above average, and his high attention to detail and cleanliness are important to me.

His number one outstanding quality is punctuality. He is on time to the minute, apologising profusely on the rare occasion that he is maybe 2-3 minutes late. That's also why you get a call if not there 10 minutes ahead of time, and why he politely but firmly reinforces that should you be even a few seconds late. Dr Baker runs on time - no ifs, no buts.

If there were one reason to choose this dentist over any other, it would be that he respects your time as ,much as his own.
