Patient Experience
Dr. Michael Baker
Professional, Caring, Helpful, Gentle, Cheery
I hadn't been to a dentist in over 15 years because of some terrible past experiences, but my recent visit to Toowoomba Dental completely changed my mind. I visited Dr. Michael Baker who was incredibly accommodating and thorough. He took the time to explain everything in easy-to-understand terms, which really put me at ease. I'm relieved to have found such a great dentist and actually look forward to my next visit!
I've visited Dr. Michael Baker numerous times to resolve some stubborn dental issues (due to mistakes made by another Dentist), along with the usual things such as check up and fillings, and I couldn't imagine going to another Dentist. Michael is the only Dentist I have been to who I feel at ease with. He knows that I don't tolerate dental pain well, and makes appropriate arrangements to ensure I'm all sorted before the procedure begins. Michael is extremely knowledgeable about the products and methods he uses, and is up to date with what is going on in the industry. The practice itself is immaculate, a lovely converted house which feels more like home than a dental practice. All the staff I have had encounters with have been nothing but helpful and friendly, and, I never thought I would say this, I almost look forward to going to the Dentist.
"All the staff from the front counter, dental assistant and Dr Michael is professional, caring and friendly make the experience special. The practice is beautifully modern and historically charming and a comfortable place to be. Thank you Toowoomba Dental

"Lovely, friendly, and supportive staff who make our child feel comfortable and at ease during his visits. They always explain to him what they are doing and how it might feel or sound. They have a tv on the ceiling so that the clients have something to distract from whats happening and cool sunglasses for the kids to wear. They also remember fun facts about our child and ask relevant questions of him The reception staff are friendly and helpful too! A great experience for children and parents."
"I've been a patient of Dr.Michael for many years, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. He is not only highly skilled and knowledgeable in his field, but he also has a calming and reassuring demeanor that makes every visit a comfortable experience. He takes the time to explain procedures thoroughly, ensuring that I feel informed and at ease. His professionalism, combined with his genuinely caring nature, sets him apart. If you're looking for a dentist who is both brilliant at what he does and truly puts his patients first, Dr. Michael is the one to see."
"i loved Dr Michael's laughter and warmth and presence, the reception girls and room assistants are lovely and kind, i love the building and its decor and colours, i love the outside gardens, and if Dr Michael needs some help with weeding weeds, i can help if required"
Highly recommend Dr Michael Baker and the team at Toowoomba Dental - not only did he fit me in last minute to fix a chipped tooth but the finished result is stunning!! I usually hate trips to the dentist because of sensitive teeth but Dr Michael was very gentle and caring. Thank you Toowoomba Dental see you for my next checkup!!
The whole team make me feel so comfortable when visiting. Dr Baker is amazing and I could never recommend anyone but him and his fantastic team!
I’ve always had a fear of dental pain, which led me to avoid seeing the dentist. When I first visited Dr Michael Baker he made me feel very comfortable in the chair, and we discussed the fear of pain. He was extremely professional, as was his wonderful staff!
I have since returned many times for cleans and minor dental work. I’m so glad I finally have found a dentist who takes the stress out of dental work. Highly recommend being treated by Dr Michael!
"The practice is very personable and friendly. Michael always makes me feel comfortable and I am gradually overcoming my fear of going to the dentist."
Always friendly and and easy going from the front desk to the operating chair. Today the staff were more then helpful when they helped settle my little 12 week old baby while I was being worked on. 10 out of 10 service everytime!
Toowoomba Dental are by far the best dentist in Toowoomba, in particular Dr Michael Baker who is phenomenal at what he does and is the only dentist I trust with my teeth. He is always so compassionate and always explains things in a way that isn’t overwhelming and always provides a quote before commencing work. I have been to previous dentists and no one compares to Dr Baker and his dental assistants. In addition, special shout out to the administration staff who are always a pleasure to deal with and always so helpful in answering any questions. I wish I could give this practice 1000 stars!
"Dr Michael listens and provides solution to suit his patient from the simplest repair to the most complex. The whole team at Toowoomba Dental are welcoming, professional and friendly. Even though I have moved away from Toowoomba I have and will remain a patient at Toowoomba Dental"

"Once again, Dr Phoebe Liang was brilliant! I had been rather forgetful, and I appreciated the email to remind me to have an appointment as it was approaching three years! I called and luckily there was a cancellation, and I got in the very next afternoon. Matilda in reception greeted me warmly and asked me to check my personal details. Soon, I was greeted by Dr Phoebe and her assistant Karen, who was so welcoming and kind. I appreciated the summary that Dr Phoebe gave me from the last visit, and I really enjoyed my visit. I am definitely looking forward to my next visit in six months!"
Dr Phoebe is an incredibly skilled communicator.
"When I first attended the surgery I did so with a very nervous dispassion towards dentistry but today was different. I didn't have a care in the world. I was actually surprised that I was so calm because I have never been calm going to a dental appointment before. Congratulations Phoebe for turning me around. I am now actually looking forward to my next appointment in 6 months time. Boy, did I really say that!"

Absolutely brilliant! All of the staff are lovely and helpful, and Dr Phoebe is so kind and gentle. She was just brilliant with our neurodiverse kiddo, and the whole team made sure that our visit was positive for the little one. This is the best dentist we have ever visited. The building is really nice as well, so open, light and airy. It almost feels like being at a resort. I can not recommend enough.
Had to book very last minute due to a broken painful tooth, and was seen that day after calling so many places in Toowoomba! Dr Phoebe was so lovely and caring during the removal of my tooth as difficult as is was to get it out! The girl assisting her was wonderful as well! Such a pleasant experience considering I usually hate having to go to the dentist! Will 100% continue going here from now on. Thank you ladies for your warming environment and attitudes! Most dentist I feel quite embarrassed but not one bit here!
