Broomfield Dental Care has been a staple of Broomfield for nearly 60 years. Founded by Dr. Novak in 1957, his love of dentistry and his patients provided him with a very successful practice. In 1989 his son-in-law, Lee W. Gerry DDS., joined the practice. Dr. Gerry was well received and a perfect match with the Doctor, his staff and the patients. Dr. Gerry purchased the practice from Dr. Novak in 2003.
After many years of saving for a dream office, Dr. Gerry selected a condo unit at the Chateaux where he designed and decorated a truly breathtaking office. A lot of research went into state-of-the-art equipment along with advanced sterilization. His long time staff was excited and comfortable in their new home, as were his patients.
Another dream came true in May of 2020, Dr. Gerry's daughter Alexis M. Mack DDS finally joined our practice. She had worked at Broomfield Dental Care through high school and Dental School. Our staff had eagerly awaited welcoming her on board as a dentist.
Our team is a top-notch group of individuals who take their job seriously, and knows how to keep their role fun and exciting. Our entire staff attends continuing education classes (although not as many as Dr. Gerry and Dr. Alexis). Below is more information on our team.
