About Us — Scottsdale Family Dentist

Eric Lernor DDS

I am not an Arizona native even though I have lived here for over 30 years (three in Tucson and twenty nine here in Phoenix). I am a displaced midwesterner having grown up outside of Chicago in Rockford, IL. I went to the University of Illinois in Champaign and the College of Dentistry in Chicago, graduating in 1984. Living in the big city was quite an experience but chose to come here where my grandparents lived for many years.

I am often asked if my team members are part of my family and I always say yes. We truly enjoy being together every day, not just working together! Come in and see for yourself. I am truly blessed to have the finest dental office team I have ever met! And you will see what great people they are when you are here!

Jolynn

Jolynn has also been with Lernor Family Dental since 2003. An expanded function Certified Dental Assistant is a long title for a very talented and caring individual who cares for you as a member of the family. She is a firm believer in providing exceptional care to you, our valued patients.

Jolynn can be seen driving her red ’68 Mustang around town every once in awhile and loves NHL hockey. Originally from Nebraska, Jolynn is also an enthusiastic Cornhusker fan-“Go Big Red”!!! She has lived in the valley for 20 years now with her husband Todd and their dog, Missy.

Jennifer

Practice Administrator

With Lernor Family Dental since 2003, Jennifer has been the friendly face and voice that greets you when first arriving at our office. In the dental industry since 1995, Jennifer is an expert at appointment scheduling and helping you with financial arrangements. She is also your advocate in the constantly changing world of insurance. She enjoys a challenge and is always happy to help patients understand their benefits and works hard to maximize those benefits.

In her free time Jennifer loves working in her yard, cooking and traveling. She and her husband Joe also enjoy hanging out at home playing old school, classic games like Scrabble and Yahtzee with their dog Cosmo and cat Walter Peyton Manning. As you may be able to guess she is an avid NFL fan. Born and raised a Hoosier, she remains an Indianapolis Colts fan.

Whitney

Registered Dental Hygienist

Born and raised in California, Whitney began her career in dentistry in 2003 as a registered dental assistant. After seven years chairside, she followed her passion for patient care to Concorde Career College in San Bernardino, where she trained as a dental hygienist, the role she has loved ever since. In 2021 she traded Southern California for Arizona and has been happy to call the Valley home. With more than two decades in the dental field, Whitney is known for putting patients at ease and making every visit a comfortable one.

Outside the office, she loves to travel and dance, with the Jalisco and Nayarit regions of Mexico among her favorite places to explore. She also enjoys music of all genres, often catching live shows and concerts, and she is devoted to her two dogs, Nugget and Gard.

Jenney

Registered Dental Hygienist

Jenney calls Bozeman, Montana her hometown; however, in 2009 she decided her future wasn’t going to include snowy winters anymore so she moved to sunny Phoenix. She comes from a family of three siblings (she is the middle kid). To Jenney, family is very important which is why you will enjoy spending time with her…she makes you feel like part of the Lernor Family Dental family.

In her spare time, don’t be surprised to find her on the hiking trails around Phoenix. She also likes to participate in yoga and boxing, but her touch when having your dental cleaning completed is gentle and comfortable. She and her husband Jack are parents to their adorable son, Jameson. They also have a dog, Murphy.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I don’t usually write reviews but I’ve been going to Dr. Lernor for for over two years and I have had many dental experiences before.  I only wish I knew him along time ago. his attention to detail and your treatment compared to none i had before I’m a happy patient for his work.  He also has other care providers that are top-notch and give him praise for his work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been a patient of Dr. Lerner's for over a year and this practice consistently impresses me. He is meticulous, thorough, and has an exceptionally light hand — you leave the chair feeling well cared for, not just treated. The entire staff is outstanding, including Whitney, the newest hygienist, who fits seamlessly into the team. Family-owned and genuinely feels like it. Highly recommend.
