Meet the Team.
Childhood Experience
Growing up, Dr. Thomas Sarko was called “beaver teeth” because of his oversized and crowded teeth. Despite feeling self-conscious, he loved going to the dentist and thought he might want to be one when he grew up. After getting his braces off in 7th grade, he finally experienced the transformative power of dentistry. He went from a shy boy to a confident young man. Knowing he wanted to help people experience that transformative power, he pursued a career in dentistry.
Pursuing Passion
After graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in Zoology from The Ohio State University, Dr. Sarko went on to earn his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from The Ohio State University College of Dentistry. He stays up to date with the latest techniques and technology through many hours of continuing education to provide his patients with the best care available. Dr. Sarko has taken advanced training courses with the L.D. Pankey Institute, Cerec – same day dentistry, implants, and more. Not only does he strive for excellence, but he also loves what he does and the people he serves.
