When our patients require more extensive attention in terms of periodontics, we almost exclusively refer them to Dr. Thom Baker. He is an exceptional diagnostician and his work is beautiful. I trust him with the care of our patients and we have rarely been disappointed. He is honest, careful and conservative with treatment.

I was referred to Dr. Baker by my amazing dentist, Dr. Michael Hine. I had not one but two procedures done with Dr. Baker. They were both elective procedures that I did as a preventative measure.
I was nervous at first but the first procedure went so well that I felt very good about moving forward on some other areas that I wanted to take care of before they became more serious. Because I was electing to do preventative work, I had many questions that Dr. Baker answered for me. He was patient and thoughtful.
I intend to see Dr. Baker again for more procedures because I know that it will help me in the long run. Dr. Baker is very talented and an excellent periodontist.
I recommend Dr. Thomas Baker, DDS very highly. You will be in excellent hands.
Dr. Baker was very committed to helping his patients gums and teeth get healthy again. They also work with patients to accommodate them which meant a lot too.
His staff is also very kind, professional and helpful. His office manager is especially nice.
Thank you Dr. Baker for being such a terrific doctor and thank you to your lovely staff for helping me with everything I needed.

Dr. Baker is great! I was very anxious about having gum surgery but Dr. Baker put me at ease as he is a very professional, competent surgeon and did a great job. I also appreciated in the pre-​interviews that he approached it with a phased approach as I had serious gum recession (genetics are not on my side) and seemed to have my best interests at heart. I interviewed with another surgeon where I definitely felt he was going to take me to the cleaners and made me nervous. Dr. Baker’s staff is excellent as well and although having gum surgery would not be my first choice, I can’t imagine having the work done by anyone else. Recommend highly!

OK I can say that I used to be one of those people that hated going to the dentist because of all the bad experiences I’ve had with them. I even hated the sound of the cleaning hook being sharpened.
I was recommended to Dr. Baker from my regular dentist and I can honestly say that I’ve had nothing but a great time there, the staff is amazing, Erin who greets you with a smile when you arrive, Norma who’s the Doc’s right hand and puts you at ease, takes your history and answers your questions before seeing the Dr. The whole office is very friendly and always treat you with a smile. Dr. Bakers work is outstanding and he always makes you feel comfortable. He fixed most of the problems that I’ve had (and yes there’s still more to do).
What else can I say its an easy environment and they always take care of you, also Dr. Baker now sharpens his hook before I get to my appointment so I don’ have to hear the Sounds :)

Are you one of those people that dreads going to the dentist?
So was I until I found Thomas R. Baker and his staff! I cannot express what an AMAZING joy it has been to find such a fantastic dentist! No only are they incredibly efficient, professional and friendly in regards to all services, but they are painless and affordable too!
The dental work is nothing short of excellent. After a botched wisdom tooth pull at another horrible dental office I called Dr. Baker and he fit me into his schedule immediately. He fixed all the pain I was having and gave me impeccable aftercare directions which were never even explained to me at the other office. Since then this has been my go to office!
All of my cleanings have been totally painless and quick to boot. The staff is always incredibly friendly, remembers my name and even what I was doing with my life at the time of my last visit. I always feel like family when I walk through the door!
Last, but certainly not least I want to give praise to the great front office staff. Erin the Office Manager is an absolute gem and always greet patients with a smile from ear to ear. Even when I have to unexpectedly cancel she is accommodating and friendly, always providing the best customer service and reminders I have ever gotten from a Dental Office.
No matter who you get at this office you are sure to be pleased with their work. If I could give ten stars I would.
If you are looking for the best Dental Office in SF, search no more because you have found it!
