After residency, Dr. Yezerski and his wife, Courtney, decided to settle in Franklin and to open his practice, Franklin Pediatric Dentistry.  Dr. Yezerski is Board Certified by the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. He is a member of the American Dental Assocation, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, the Tennessee Dental Association, and the Nashville Dental Society. Dr. Yezerski also holds clinical privileges at Vanderbilt Children's' Hospital.  Dr. Yezerski and his wife, Courtney, are the proud parents of two boys, Connor and Evan and pug, Napoleon.  Outside of dentistry, Dr. Yezerski enjoys a variety of interests.  He is a music lover who enjoys playing both the piano and guitar. An avid sports fan, he looks forward to cheering on the Titans and Predators for many years to come.
