Meet Dr. Chris Merkley

Dr. Chris Merkley grew up in Houston, Texas. Due to work, his family moved to Wyoming and even spent time in Doha, Qatar. After high school, Dr. Merkley spent two years in Peru serving a mission for his church and learned fluent Spanish.

Upon returning from his mission, Dr Merkley completed his B.S. degree in Exercise Science at Brigham Young University, then he moved to Las Vegas to complete dental school where he earned a Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry (D.M.D.) from UNLV School of Dental Medicine. After graduation from dental school, Dr. Merkley began his service with the United States Army and moved to Harker Heights, TX near Fort Hood. While at Fort Hood, Dr. Merkley was selected for a 2-year Advanced Education in General Dentistry where he received additional training in bridges, implants, sinus lifts, bone grafts, dentures, orthodontics, wisdom teeth extractions and sedation dentistry. In July 2018 he received orders to be stationed at Fort Leonard Wood. After completing 6 years in the Army, Dr. Merkley and his family moved back to Texas as soon as possible!

Dr. Merkley married the love of his life, Rachel, in 2009 and together they have the pleasure of raising seven adorable, high-energy children. As a family they love to go camping, hiking, visit the beach, sing, dance, go on bike rides and play all sports (soccer, basketball, volleyball, ultimate frisbee and spikeball are a few favorites).
