Jim Canarsky  DDS

As a dentist, I love what I do!  But most important to me are family and faith, and my love for God.   My lovely wife, Mary, and I have been blessed with 9 wonderful children and 18 grandchildren.  Along with enjoying my dental practice immensely, I also enjoy the outdoors, bow hunting, fishing, and driving a tractor.
