Job Titles:
  • General & Cosmetic Dentist in Aurora, CO
Hi, I'm Dr. Herrick - but please call me Crispin. I am from the Southern California mountains, but fell in love with Colorado while completing my dental degree at the University of Colorado Anschutz. I continued my advanced training in General Dentistry through a residency program at Denver Health Hospital, where I met Dr. Henes and discovered our similar treatment philosophy. I now enjoy working with the Iliff Family Dental team to provide high-quality care, and look forward to helping you achieve your best smile! In my free time, I enjoy camping with my wife Jen, hiking with our lab/boxer mix Cota, or rewatching the best show of all time "Breaking Bad".
