Dr. Andrew Baker graduated with dual degrees in physics and biological sciences from Clemson University in South Carolina. He earned a Doctor of Medicine degree at the Medical University of South Carolina and completed his residency in otolaryngology head and neck surgery at Oregon Health & Science University.
As a comprehensive otolaryngologist/head and neck surgeon, Dr. Baker focuses on allergy, rhinology (nasal/sinus surgery), otology (ear surgery), thyroid and parathyroid surgery, and salivary gland disorders. In 2018, he was one of only 13 residents nationwide to receive an AAO-HNS CORE grant to pursue cochlear-implantation research.
Dr. Baker believes that high-quality care relies first and foremost on developing strong patient-physician relationships. He believes that a clinic visit is as much about building trust as it is about developing a treatment plan and strives to create a safe space for all patients and their loved ones.
Dr. Baker is an avid cyclist, hiker, and traveler in his free time. In addition, his wife and he are the proud parents of Watson, a rescue dog.
