TK Baker, DDS
Originally from Bangkok, Thailand, Dr. TK spent much of his childhood immersed in city life. He always dreamed of being an artist, but couldn’t let go of his love for science. Thankfully, dentistry proved to be the best of both worlds. He thought New York would be his final destination until he stumbled upon Acorn along his journey. Dr. TK then fell in love with the peacefulness of the pacific northwest, the “Acorny” world, and the slower pace that life has to offer on this side of the country.
A graduate of the University of Utah School of Dentistry, he completed his pediatric dental residency at Northwell Cohen Children’s Medical Center at Long Island Jewish Hospital in Queens, New York where he served as Chief Resident. His extensive training in pediatric dentistry has equipped him to provide compassionate care to children, ensuring they have positive, enjoyable dental experiences.
Dr. TK is driven by his passion for working with kids. An entertainer at heart, Dr. Tk always wanted to try stand-up comedy. The passion for bringing smiles to people led him to his perfect audience, as kids love his jokes, even if the parents don’t always laugh as hard!
One of Dr. Tk’s biggest hobbies is being a foodie. He eats for fun or even when he’s bored. His guilty pleasure is Wendy’s spicy chicken nuggets. Another favorite is chocolate cake. Is it healthy? No. But Dr. TK knows better than most the importance of brushing and flossing after every sweet treat.
