Dr. Baker thanks all of our patients who supported his Jail Bail for MDA

Dr. Baker would like to thank all of our generous friends who contributed to his Jail Bail for MDA! He made his $800 goal, which will make some special children very happy. Everyone should be proud that together we're providing help and hope to kids and adults served by MDA in our community.

Our team at Baker Orthodontics had a fun time in the lock-up at "On the Border" in Escondido. Good food, good friends, great cause!

Thank you,
