Hello and thank you for visiting my web page. I am Dr. Marvin Herschfus and have had the privilege to provide dental care to families in the Berkley and neighboring communities for over 31 years. My office is conveniently located in the Berkley Plaza on Coolidge Highway north of 11 Mile Road at Catalpa Road.
I continuously strive to provide exceptional dental care in a comfortable and relaxing environment to anyone who comes to my office. I enjoy developing that positive atmosphere by taking a personal interest and sharing life events as if you are my personal house guest. It is indeed a special moment when patients can tell me and my team how amazingly great it feels that we helped them overcome fears, and feel so much more confident.
My father was a family physician in a small town of Sharon, Massachusetts, and my mother an accomplished artist. I truly feel that these influences have had a significant impact on my love of dentistry, cosmetics and most importantly caring for people.
I graduated from Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts, with a BS /honors in biology. I continued my medical research in Cystic Fibrosis and hemophilia disorders for several years. I received my dental degree from New York University College of Dentistry in 1982. Shortly thereafter, I relocated here to Michigan to work with my uncle who was chief of the dental department at Mt. Carmel and Grace Hospitals.
I attend continuing education courses with my dental team to learn latest techniques and technology. Ive received the Fellowship Certification in soft tissue laser therapy, certified in the Lumineers porcelain veneer system. I also provide treatment with the use of dental appliances to treat migraine headaches and sleep apnea. My patients have also benefited from Sure Smile orthodontic clear aligners.
Giving back to our community is important to me. Over the years my team reached out to the children at Berkley schools, we donated dental kits to victims of Honduras hurricanes. Recently, we were recognized by the Detroit Metro Riverfront Optimist Club for volunteering in their health fairs.
Lesley has been serving our practice for over fifteen years and is dedicated to helping our patients have a positive dental experience. As office coordinator she oversees scheduling, insurance, financial arrangement, social media and marketing. She is always looking for new ways to make our office a fun and relaxing environment. In her spare time, Lesley enjoys spending time with her family, doing volunteer work with The Berkley Junior Womens Club and watching baseball.
For some years, Lisa has served us as a registered dental hygienist. She graduated with honors in 2006 from the University of Michigan with a Bachelor of Science in dental hygiene. Her favorite part about working at our dental practice is how everyone works together as a team to provide the best treatment options for oral health wellness. As a registered dental hygienist, Lisa stays up to date with the latest dental technology to provide her patients with the best treatment available. She is certified to provide local anesthesia and nitrous oxide to ensure patients are comfortable with their treatments, and she also has experience in specialty services, including periodontal disease and pediatrics.
In her spare time, Lisa enjoys spending time with her family, which includes her husband Henry, and their children, Dominique and Dillon. She especially likes to watch her daughter play basketball and lacrosse. Lisa looks forward to meeting you and working with Dr. Herschfus to establish your oral health wellness.
Toya has been our dental assistant for over thirteen years and brings to our office over even more years of experience in the dental field. She attended Colorado College for Medical and Dental Careers and has extensive experience in working with both adults and children. Toya works hard to ensure all of our patients feel comfortable and loves helping each one achieve a smile that helps them look and feel better. The quality of work at Dr. Herschfus office is the best and the service is outstanding! I look forward to meeting you as a patient.
