Having practiced dentistry in Arizona since 2005, Dr. Kerbs' desire to provide affordable, comprehensive dental care, and his "put the patient care first" philosophy, has helped him expand to six offices in the Southeast Valley. Patients and staff alike enjoy his professional but friendly demeanor as well as his dental craftsmanship.

Dr. Kerbs and his wife have two small children, and he enjoys spending time with family and friends. He also oil paints, and has donated several of his paintings to local Charities for fundraising campaigns.
