Paola Family & Cosmetic Dentist Office Staff
Paola Dentist Office Open on Tuesday & Wednesday
In July 2015, Dr. Andrew expanded the family practice by adding a second location in Paola, Kansas. With more than 35 years in business, we have always prided ourselves on providing first-class dental care with exceptional professionalism since we first 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.
Kari – Dental Hygienist
Kari attended the University of Kansas for undergraduate school, then finished her degree at the University of Missouri – Kansas City where she earned her Bachelors of Science in Dental Hygiene. She graduated in 2012 and has been working as a Dental Hygienist for over 10 years. She loves visiting with her patients and getting to know them!
Outside of work she loves spending time with her 3 kids, Eleanor, Olivia and Charlie, and husband, Alec. They love being outdoors, traveling, going out to eat and family movie nights.

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!
