Dr. Arthur Kerle is not your average dentist—he’s a man of many passions, talents, and a delightful sense of humor. Hailing from the picturesque landscapes of Northern Michigan, where the population is small but the trout streams are abundant, Dr. Kerle’s journey to Arizona is one of both professional pursuit and personal joy. After all, when your grandkids are in Arizona, that’s where you want to be!
Dr. Kerle’s love for dentistry was sparked in an unusual way. He vividly recalls his 5th-grade teacher, Mrs. Goodrich, who was married to a dental student at the time. Fast forward several decades, and Dr. Kerle has not only fulfilled that dream but has also left an indelible mark on the field. His passion for dentistry isn’t just about perfecting smiles—it’s about using his God-given talents to keep his patients healthy, free from pain, and confidently grinning from ear to ear.
When he’s not transforming smiles in the office, Dr. Kerle can be found indulging in his numerous hobbies. A nature enthusiast, he’s often up at sunrise, camera in hand, capturing the beauty of the mountains, woods, and even the majestic Salt River horses. His love for the great outdoors doesn’t stop at photography; he’s also an avid biker, hiker, kite flyer, and fly fisherman. And if that isn’t enough, he has a musical side too—having played the flute in multiple orchestras and even winning a competition during his college days. Clearly, Dr. Kerle is a man who believes in living life to the fullest.
But it’s not all about adventures and accolades. Dr. Kerle has a softer side, especially when it comes to his family. With three remarkable adult children—one a computer wiz, another a runway model turned trauma counselor, and the third, an Army specialist—he’s immensely proud of their achievements and the loving hearts they possess. And let’s not forget his not-so-miniature golden doodle, Bearacuda, who keeps him on his toes (and ensures those dog biscuit bills keep coming).
In the world of books and movies, Dr. Kerle has a particular fondness for tales of chivalry and comedy. His favorite book, “A Higher Call” by Adam Makos, reflects his belief in the importance of chivalry, while his go-to movie, “Waking Ned Devine,” showcases his love for good characters, humor, and a touch of suspense.
Dr. Arthur Kerle is a unique blend of professionalism, passion, and playfulness. Whether he’s perfecting a patient’s smile or capturing the perfect sunrise, he approaches life with a zest that’s both inspiring and infectious. And if you ever find yourself in his chair, don’t be surprised if you leave with not just a brighter smile, but also a great story or two.
