About Dr. Gerardo Mercado
People with healthy teeth and gums live longer, healthier lives, and it gives me great pleasure to improve and help others' lives. Seeing patients' eyes light up when they truly "get it" is exhilarating. Frankly, the fulfillment I find in my duties as a dentist and witnessing the positive effects it creates in others makes my career not just a job, but a passion that feeds my soul.
You would be hard-pressed to find another dentist who cares more about the health and treatment outcomes of his patients. I was raised to work hard, tell the truth, and be thankful for the life we have.
When I develop a treatment plan to help a patient, I do so as if the treatment were going into my own mouth or the mouth of one of my family members. There is no doubt in my mind that my patient is receiving the best treatment for them.
I earned my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Southern California, which laid the foundation for my commitment to excellence and compassionate care.
