Lenexa Family & Cosmetic Dentist Office Staff
Lenexa Office Open on Monday, Wednesday & Thursday
We have prided ourselves on providing first-class dental care with exceptional professionalism since we opened our doors in Lenexa in August 1981. At HERWIG DDS, we are a family owned practice and treat our patients as such. We are always welcoming new patients and we hope to make you a part of our dental family!
Dr. Andrew
Dr. Andrew has been a member of the Herwig DDS family since before he could walk. His father, Robert V. Herwig, DDS, was the practice’s previous owner for more than 30 years. After spending many hours in the family office, Dr. Andrew knew he wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps and become a dentist.
To achieve this goal, Dr. Andrew started his education at the University of Kansas, graduating in 2010 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Cell Biology and a Minor in Business. He then attended the University of Missouri – Kansas City School of Dentistry, graduating and becoming licensed as a DDS in 2015. Dr. Andrew is continually educating himself to deliver the highest quality customer service and best possible care to his patients. He is also a member of the American Dental Association, Kansas Dental Association and Fifth District Dental Society.
Outside of the office, Dr. Andrew loves spending time with his wife, Emma, daughters, Ava, Emmie, and Kate, and dog, Miss Brooks. They love traveling, golfing, cheering on KU and being outside – whether it is going on walks, grilling in the backyard, tailgating with friends or being at the lake.
Angie – Dental Hygienist
Angie has been a part of the Herwig DDS team since 2000. She received her training in dental hygiene from Johnson County Community College and graduated as a Registered Dental Hygienist in 1998. She also earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Health and Wellness from Missouri State University in 1994. Angie enjoys building relationships with her patients and helping them improve their oral health.
Outside of work, Angie spends time with her husband AJ, and two children – Zach and Abby. She spends many hours watching her kids’ sporting events. When not at work or at a sporting event, she and her family love to travel, especially to the beach!
Emma – Dental Hygienist
Emma graduated from Oklahoma State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Sociology. She moved to Kansas City to pursue her dream of becoming a dental hygienist in 2011. She attended the University of Missouri – Kansas City and earned her second Bachelor of Science degree in Dental Hygiene. She joined the Herwig DDS team in 2013 and truly enjoys getting to know her patients and making them feel at ease!
When not working, she and her daughters, Ava, Emmie, and Kate, and husband, Dr. Andrew, like to explore Kansas City; shopping, finding great restaurants, and hanging outdoors with their dog, Miss Brooks. The Herwig family, obviously, has a love for dentistry, but more importantly they love family time together and making memories!
Sharon – Dental Hygienist
Sharon graduated from Johnson County Community College in 1987 as a Registered Dental Hygienist. She began her career working for Dr. Andrew’s father, Dr. Robert Herwig, and was part of his practice for eight years before staying home to raise her two sons. She came back and joined Herwig DDS ten years ago. She enjoys spending time with the patients, getting to know them, and finding solutions that work for their oral health.
Beyond work Sharon may be found shopping, reading, or lounging with the family cat, Gracey. Her husband Claude and she enjoy traveling, exploring all types of wine, grilling and spending family time with their sons, Mitch and Lucas, over a meal.

Holly has been with us since 2004, working with Dr. Rob until his retirement and now working with Dr. Andrew. She brings more than 40 years of experience as a dental assistant to the practice.
She has been married to her husband, Mark, for 24 years. Together they have a daughter, Shelby, who is a Funeral Director in Wichita, Kansas, whom they visit as often as they can. In addition, Holly enjoys helping the homeless community with her church family, gardening, floristry, stitching and spending time with her four-legged fur baby, Andy.

Julie has worked in dentistry for more than 35 years. Julie takes great pride in making patients comfortable and happy with their dental experience.
Julie and her husband, Mark, have been married for 34 years. They have two beautiful daughters and an amazing granddaughter! Outside of work, she enjoys gardening, boating, yoga, traveling and spending time with her loved ones.
Kate – Office Manager
Kate joined the Herwig DDS team in October of 2023. Kate manages the front desk responsibilities and patient relations. You’ll see her as you check in and out of our office!
Kate studied psychology at the University of Missouri. Working in dentistry is completely new for her, but she is excited to learn everything she can and meet all of the friendly faces who visit the office!
