Overview

Centercare has been serving downtown Phoenix and the historic districts for over twenty years. Dr. Gary Steen began the practice in 1991 after many years working in international public health and in private practice elsewhere in Phoenix.  Its original location was in the Arizona Center in downtown Phoenix. Centercare was designed as an advanced general practice which targeted working and professional adults. That has remained its focus.  The practice grew substantially over the years, as did all of downtown. As the Suns’ arena, Chase Field, Cityscape and ASU Downtown appeared, access for patients gradually became more difficult and Centercare made plans to move.

Staff

Staff Photo
The doctors at CenterCare have long experience practicing in Phoenix and have an impressive list of academic achievements and professional associations. Between them virtually all treatment can be done in our single location, eliminating additional visits to other locations. Arizona, like all states, has a requirement for continuing education in order to relicense. Centercare’s doctors routinely accumulate 3 to 4 times the minimum required hours of ongoing education in dentistry. The breadth of their training and knowledge is wide as a result, and the quality of care they can extend to their patients is unsurpassed. Of note, there are two additional doctors on our staff who are fully-trained dentists and who work with us in support of the principal doctors.
