My interest in dentistry began at a very early age. I was encourged by a cousin who is a dentist to consider dental hygiene as a profession. I am very grateful to have taken his advice.

I earned my degree in dental hygiene in 1976. The first half of my career was spent working in the field of Periodontics (the treatment of gum disease). It was here that I honed my skills and developed a true understanding of how thorough dental care contributes to a healthier, happier patient.

I have been a part of Dr. Baker's team since 2000 and am fortunate to have found an office that is committed to the continuing advanced education and personal growth.

In 1999 and 2000 I traveled to Guatemala with a medical/dental team to provide services to the underpriviledged. It was a rewarding experience which I held near and dear to my heart.

On a personal note, I have been married for 32 years. My husband is an engineer an we share many similar intrests. The majority of our "spare time" surrounds our teenage daughter and her many activities, our church, family and friends. We are fortunate to have a multigenerational household when we took my mother in to live with us two years ago. Though my "plate" is full, I am truly blessed to have a balance in my life. I look foward to many more years with Dr. Baker. He is a true friend and loyal employer.

Sue joins our team with 28 years of experience as a dental hygienist. A long time resident of Kansas City, she has recently returned after a 5 year hiatus in Minneapolis.

She enjoys helping patients who are apprehensive or anxious feel more comfortable during their dental visits. She has 2 grown children, and enjoys cooking, reading, horseback riding, and church activities. She and her husband are glad to be back home in Kansas City to enjoy old friends, family and good barbeque! She is excited to be part of Dr. Baker's team.

Megan was born and raised in the Kansas City area. She began her career in the dental field 11 years ago as a Dental Assistant and now sits chairside with Dr. Baker. She has a great working knowledge of dentistry and  takes pride in assisting patients to better understand their treatment. Through her frequent continuing education, Megan expands her knowledge and commitment to the team and the patients they serve. 

Megan also spent several years as an administrative assistant working on scheduling, treatment planning, and insurance needs for patients giving her a well rounded aspect of the dental field, making her a valuable asset to the team. Megan's knowledge of computers and abitlity to keep the office organized helps to keep the office running smoothly. She brings new ideas and dedication to see those ideas through.

Megan and her husband Tony have been married since 2005. They spend their time keeping up with the busy activities of children Rymington and Jordan; from track and wrestling meets, to basketball and baseball games. They also enjoy spending time with family and friends barbequing, swimming, and enjoying any outdoor events.

Megan has enjoyed every minute of being a part of Dr. Bakers team. She brings a sense of flair, enthusiasm, and warmth, as well as a lot of Pink to our practice.

Pam has been a part of Dr. Baker's team for over fifteen years. The first fifteen were spent working chairside with Dr. Baker.  Now, you can find Pam at the front desk helping patients with coordinating their treatment and financial arrangements.

Pam and her husband Joe live in the Shawnee area. Pam's husband is a pastry chef at Chacko's Bakery in Mission. They have no children but enjoy their many nieces, nephews, and three adorable cats.

In Pam's spare time she enjoys reading, walking, gardening and biking. She has biked in the MS 150 four times.

" I have worked in Dentistry for over twenty years.  The last sixteen have been with Dr. Baker.  The care, time and commitment that he takes to give our patients exceptional dentistry is ongoing. "
