Who We Are
Dr. Herren and, most of the staff at Herren Family Dentistry, have been working together for almost 25 years!

Dr. Herren opened his practice in 2008. He and his wife, Dr. Rebecca Vawter, DMD, have four beautiful daughters – Parker, who attends UK and swims for the University; Lily and Alex who attend Corbin Middle School, and are active in cheerleading and cross country; and Lucy who is in third grade. An animal lover, Dr. Herren has two cats, a Dachshund, and a pig at their Estrogen Acres Compound. When Dr. Herren isn’t practicing dentistry, he’s using his green thumb to grow a large vegetable garden! He’s transplanted and divided flowers and plants from family and friends and planted them all over Estrogen Acres.

When Dr. Vawter is not helping in the office, she is the full time shuttle bus for Dr. Herren and her four daughters! Before deciding to go to dental school, Dr. Vawter worked as a Speech Pathologist at a private practice, working with all ages. To get through dental school, she did nursing work on the weekends! Born in Chicago, Dr. Vawter’s family moved to Breckenridge County, KY when she was very young. She moved to Lexington to attend UK, where she met Dr. Herren. Fun fact – Dr. Vawter was a part time teacher at UK College of Dentistry where she met Dr. Herren! Together, they moved to London in 2008 to open their private dental practice.
