I am a lifelong Washingtonian. My family roots range from Port Angeles to Yakima and from Burien to White Center. My youth was spent hiking, fishing, and hunting with my father. In late elementary school, I began playing Ice hockey. After a long hiatus, I reignited that passion.
Dr. Erhardt grew up in Southern California. He realized at a very young age that he loved health sciences and making things with his hands. He had a close relationship with his childhood dentist and orthodontist which helped him realize that dentistry was the right field for him. Dr. Erhardt attended the University of Washington and earned his Doctorate in Dental Surgery in 1990 and then served, as a dentist, in the United States Navy for three years. His service helped him gain an immense amount of knowledge and experience in a short period of time. During this time he also earned his certification in Advanced Trauma Life Support, researched Oral medicine and has worked in treatment of Oncology patients. His practice experience includes Family Dentistry, Geriatrics, Pedodontics, Cosmetic, and Implant dentistry.
And while Dr. Erhardt really enjoys dentistry, he does find time for other things such as landscaping, exploring nature, and building large Lego projects. If you want to discover one of his passions just ask him about trains or airplanes.
