“We are a prevention-oriented dental practice that strives to maintain optimal dental health through comprehensive, quality dental care.

For Dr. Gerkin, there are many rewarding aspects to dentistry, including giving patients a reason to smile again and changing a patient’s perception of dentistry. It is priceless when his patients mention to him that they are now eating foods they have not eaten in decades, smiling in pictures again, or living with a new sense of confidence because of the dentistry he has provided for them.
Dr. Gerkin is married to his high school sweetheart. They have twin daughters and a son. He enjoys spending time with his family, golfing, running, playing tennis, being on the lake and grilling.
