ABOUT ME
Dr. Larkin says, “Growing up watching my father work as a general dentist and be a leader in the community was what initially drew me to dentistry. The more I realized that he could make a difference in other people’s lives while also being present for our biggest moments, the more I knew it is what I wanted to spend my life doing!”
“I am so excited to be able to give back to the Valley where my dental career began. My goal is to approach treatment with patient concerns in mind, but most importantly, in a manner that is collaborative, comprehensive, and focused on the long-term benefit of their oral health.”
After graduating from University of Kansas, Dr. Lakrin received both his Dental Degree and his Master of Public Health degree from the A.T. Still University, Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health. He is a member of the American Dental Association and the Arizona Dental Association. He is also fluent in Spanish.
Dr. Larkin says, “My fiancee and I are very active people, so anything to get outside! Specifically hiking, paddle boarding, golf and tennis will get us moving. I also have a passion for landscape photography, and the desert is a wonderful canvas from which to create.”
