Dr. Mike Gerstner

Dentist

Born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba, I relocated to Fort Frances in 1991. Accustomed to lake living near Gimli, MB, I immediately felt at home in Northwestern Ontario and laid down roots here. I am a proud father of two teenage children currently living in Fort Frances. I was continually active in sports by either participating or spending many memorable seasons coaching my kids in both Northwestern Ontario and Minnesota.

​

Fishing, golfing, and camping have taken me to many beautiful areas in the North, but I now focus my attention on experiencing the fabulous lakes and courses in the Dryden area. I received my B.A. Advanced (Psychology) in 1984 at the University of Manitoba. During my Pre-Masters year, I enjoyed working in the Psych. Research Department. I completed my studies while working as a residential counselor, as well as doing volunteer work as a Crisis Counselor in Winnipeg. Upon the completion of my Science program at the University of Winnipeg, I graduated in 1991 from the University of Manitoba Dental School, receiving the highest standing in my class.

​

I spent the next 25 years caring for my patients in the Fort Frances area as a partner at the Fort Frances Dental and Emo Dental Centres. In 2019, my personal life led me to Dryden and I feel fortunate for my tremendous new career opportunity with Dr. Chris Baldwin. I certainly enjoy developing relationships, I am known for being a good listener and providing a comfortable experience for my patients.
