Born and raised in Wheelersburg, Dr. Graf grew up thinking his dentist (Dr. Jerry Burleson) was the coolest guy he knew. For his 6th birthday, Dr. Burleson gave him a signed picture of Michael Jordan, which at the time meant more to Dr. Graf than anything else he could have received. It was this unforgettable moment that inspired Dr. Graf to pursue a career in dentistry and ultimately practice back in his hometown!

Dr. Graf went on to complete both his undergraduate business degree and his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at The Ohio State University. During his time at The OSU College of Dentistry, he was the only student out of his class of 112 to complete a full year of residency during his 4th year of training. This not only allowed Dr. Graf to gain nearly triple the experience compared to his peers, but it gave him the opportunity to become a surgical extern at Midwest Implant Institute; all during his 4 year dental school career. He's known as a meticulous clinician who has a heart for people.

Beyond serving patients, both locally and overseas in Honduras, he loves spending time with his wife, Kayla, daughter, Kamila, and soon-to-be 2nd child coming September 2020! Dr. Graf also loves spending time outdoors, hunting, fishing, and enjoying all the little things that make small-town Ohio the best place to live!
