M. Andrew Baber, D.D.S.
Meet Dr. Baber
My professional passion can be summed up in one simple phrase: take good care of people. I appreciate the deep level of trust a patient places in me when they are having surgery. There is a tremendous level of responsibility that comes with this trust and I remind myself daily to perform at a level worthy of that trust. Every day, I make it my mission to take good care of people, with compassion and empathy, while building meaningful relationships with patients, co-workers, and colleagues through the specialty of oral and maxillofacial surgery.
Education
I attended Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia, AR, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Biology in 2000. From there, I earned my Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center College of Dentistry in Memphis, TN. My specialty certificate in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery was earned at Virginia Commonwealth University Health System in 2007 in Richmond, VA. As a member of the Interdisciplinary Dentofacial Therapy Study Club, I meet with my peers regularly to review complex dentofacial cases and stay on the cutting edge of technological advances in dentistry.

Outside the Office
Originally from Marion, AR, I now live in Rogers with my wife, Susanne, and our son, Kelso. I take such pleasure in exploring the natural beauty of our region through jogging and mountain biking. I regularly participate in international cleft lip and palate surgical missions to Honduras through the Friends of Baranabas Foundation. Closer to home, I participate with the Samaritan House free dental clinic.
