Dr. Baker did my TMJ surgery in 2000. This type of surgery is never done with any guarantee of sucess, but I was very fortunate with Dr. Baker. The incapacitating headaches disappeared as did the jaw pain and popping. During the surgery one side of my jaw was shortened as well as the jaw being reset. I was wired for seven weeks (now I understand it is three weeks or less). I never really had any pain because of the nerves that were cut. All feeling returned to my face in a few months. I was completely free of discomfort until I fell face first onto the concrete last December during an ice storm. Orthodontics are helping now. Should I ever need the surgery repeated I would not hesitate to contact Dr. Baker.
Dr. Baker has is a very kind person with a low key manner. He is very considerate and thoughtful.
The only negative factor was his billing department/person in 2000. She required $1500 up front when my insurance deductible and out-of-pocket expenses had been met completely. I paid it to get the surgery done and then fought tooth and nail to get my $1500 back. She was the only negative aspect.
