Babylon Dental Care Dentists

Dr. John E. Baker Jr., DDS

Dr. Mark KnakalDr. Baker is a native of Long Island. He grew up in Huntington and graduated from St. Joseph’s College in Patchogue. Dr. Baker earned his dental and orthodontic degrees at Columbia University School of Dental and Oral Surgery. Upon graduation, Dr. Baker was recognized as being the best clinical dentist in his class and was awarded the Operative Award for Excellence. He was given the honor of the Long Island Odontology Award for being the top graduate from Long Island. After receiving the Omicron Kappa Upsilon Honors Award, Dr. Baker was asked to teach both general dentistry and orthodontics at Columbia University.

While studying at Columbia, Dr. Baker met his wife Silvia. They have four beautiful children, two girls and two boys, two dogs, a cat, and tropical fish. They love going on family vacations, particularly fishing, and boating.

Dr. Baker has been practicing on Long Island for over 20 years and continues to believe in the same principles that earned him the prestigious 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.” Dr. Baker believes in bringing the latest technology and innovations available in the practice of orthodontics to his patients, in order to make the treatment more comfortable and precise.

Dr. Baker enjoys the interactions with the children and parents alike. It is an honor he says, when the parents bring the younger siblings in of those he has treated. He believes 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. Dr. Baker’s goal is to provide impeccable orthodontic care to enhance a patient’s health, appearance, and confidence, while maintaining a joyful and fun office atmosphere.
