Babylon Dental Care Dentists

John E. Baker, Jr., DDS

I am a native of Long Island. I grew up in Huntington and graduated from St. Joseph’s College in Patchogue. My dental and orthodontic degrees were obtained at Columbia University School of Dental and Oral Surgery. Upon graduation, I was recognized as being the best clinical dentist in my class and was awarded the Operative Award for Excellence. I was also given the Long Island Odontology Award for being the top graduate from Long Island. In addition, I received the Omicron Kappa Upsilon Honors Award, and was asked to teach both general dentistry and orthodontics at Columbia University. I also met my wife Silvia, at Columbia. We now have four children, two girls and two boys, ages 15, 12, 11, and 9, two dogs, a cat, and tropical fish. We love going on family vacations, fishing, and boating. I have been practicing on Long Island for 18 years and continue to believe in the same principles that earned me the awards. Excellence is what we must strive for and attain in every aspect of our lives. Just as I would strive for perfection in all that I do for my children and family, I do for all of my patients. I believe in bringing the latest technology and innovations available in the practice of orthodontics to my patients, in order to make the treatment more comfortable and precise. I enjoy the interactions with the children and the parents. It is an honor for me when the parents bring the younger siblings of those I have treated. It is an even higher honor when they refer their friends or sometimes even themselves for orthodontic care after seeing the transformation of their child’s bite and smile. My goal is to provide impeccable orthodontic care to enhance a patient’s health, appearance, and confidence, while maintaining a joyful and fun office atmosphere.
