Meet Our Orthodontist

Dr. Baker is an Escondido native, and has been professionally serving the people of his home town since 1988. He is also a second-generation orthodontist, whose father, Dr. Guy T. Baker, founded Baker Orthodontics in 1978. Dr. Brad graduated from San Pasqual High School, and then attended Brigham Young University, where he earned a bachelors degree in Zoology. He loved his college experience, and received two academic scholarships during his time at BYU. As an undergraduate, Dr. Baker participated in research studies on the affects of smoking and alcohol on fetal development.

In 1988, Dr. Baker joined his father in his orthodontic practice in Escondido, where they had the great pleasure of practicing together for five years, until his father’s retirement. During this period, he met and married his sweetheart, Angie, and they now have three beautiful children, Julia, Alex, and Shannon. Angie is very active at the school that the kids attend: the San Pasqual Union School.

The Bakers are very active in church service and youth programs. Dr. Baker has, for many years, been active in the Boy Scouts of America. An Eagle Scout himself, he loves the scouting program, and the impact it has on the lives of the youth it serves. He is excited to get on the scouting trail with his own son, Alex. Dr. Baker also enjoys camping, water sports, fishing, woodwork, travel, and just hanging out with his wife and kids!
