Meet Dr. A Goerig
“After over 40 years of practicing endodontics, it is still very exciting and fun for me and seems to get easier each day. As I get older I realize more and more that the real joy and happiness in life comes from the personal connection with others. I have been fortunate to be blessed with a great family, fantastic team, wonderful patients and incredible referring doctors. I do love what I do!”
