Personal Bio:

Christopher J. Erskine, DDS, has been practicing dentistry for more than 24 years, providing patients with compassionate, relationship-centered care backed by decades of clinical experience. Known for his calm demeanor and gentle approach, Dr. Erskine is dedicated to helping patients feel comfortable, informed, and confident throughout every stage of treatment. He believes that trust, clear communication, and individualized attention are the foundation of an exceptional dental experience.

Dr. Erskine earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine in 2002 after completing his undergraduate studies at University of Utah. Before beginning college, he spent two years serving a mission in Spain for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, an experience that strengthened his appreciation for service, connection, and caring for people from diverse backgrounds. Since beginning his dental career, he has remained deeply committed to continuing education, regularly completing advanced training courses focused on modern dental techniques, evolving technology, and comprehensive patient care. His ongoing dedication to professional development allows him to provide patients with current, evidence-based treatment options in a comfortable and welcoming environment.

Throughout his career, Dr. Erskine has earned a reputation for attentive, high-quality care and for taking the time to truly get to know the individuals and families he serves.

He is an active member of the American Dental Association, Arizona Dental Association, Central Arizona Dental Association, and International Association for Orthodontics, reflecting his ongoing commitment to clinical excellence and lifelong learning.

Outside the office, Dr. Erskine enjoys spending time with his wife and four children. An avid marathon runner, he values the discipline, consistency, and perseverance that both running and dentistry require. His combination of experience, warmth, and commitment to excellence has made him a trusted dentist for families throughout the community.

Any dental work I have in the future will be performed here. They rock!

As a 30 year old male, I still loathe going to the dentist. I broke a tooth on Monday, and Gateway examined the damage 15 minutes before closing. My perspective has changed because Dr. Barber and his staff were incredible. A crown and filling were completed in less than 90 minutes. They were gentle and efficient. All future dental will be done here. They rock!

Dr. Barber did an amazing job

I was referred here by a coworker and so glad I was. The staff is absolutely amazing and kind. Dr. Barber did an amazing job filling a cavity for me and made it very easy and painless. Everybody from the front desk, assistants, to the hygienist care for each and every person that walks through their door. Would highly recommend them.
