PictureDr. John Herber
Dr. John Herber attended Indiana University (Bloomington Campus) for his undergraduate coursework where he majored in biochemistry. After his undergraduate study, he attended Indiana University School of Dentistry (Indianapolis) where he graduated with his Doctorate of Dental Surgery in 1992. During his undergraduate and graduate coursework Dr. Herber made the Dean’s List and he graduated with honors/awards from Dental School. After Dental School, Dr. Herber enhanced his education in dentistry by completing a one year graduate practice residency in Advanced Education in General Dentistry.  After his residency education, Dr. Herber served for four years in the U.S. Air Force where he received the prestigious commendation medal for Meritorious Service. Dr. Herber was then invited to be an associate dentist in two separate practices in the Fort Wayne area after his honorable discharge from the Air Force. In August of 1996, eighteen years ago, Dr. Herber opened his own practice, “Herber Family Dentistry, P.C.” with just an assistant, hygienist & Elizabeth, his wife of nearly 25 years.  The practice has since been blessed to its current team of 12 highly educated and well-trained staff members with Dr. Jacob Yager being the latest addition in 2018.

Dr. Herber and his wife Elizabeth have been blessed with two children, Lauren (21) and Zach (19). Dr. Herber has attended Wallen Baptist Church the last 17 years, where he has been a Senior High Leader in Lights Out Youth Group specializing in Apologetics and church history. Dr. Herber currently serves on the Fort Wayne Rescue Mission Board and is a volunteer at Matthew 25 Health and Dental Clinic. Dr. Herber is passionate about Apologetics (if you don’t know what this is, please ask him!) and reading. He also enjoys playing golf, traveling, music, and the comedy of Jim Gaffigan.
