Mr John Ferrin

Dr. Ferrin’s path to periodontics is defined by a deep commitment to service. Born in Utah and raised in Mississippi, he learned the value of dedication early on. At just 17, he enlisted in the U.S. Army National Guard, beginning a 14-year tenure that would deeply shape his disciplined approach to care and his connection to the community. After earning his Bachelor's Degree in Biology from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Dr. Ferrin pursued his dental education at the UNLV School of Dental Medicine. It was here that his passion for dentistry intersected with his dedication to service. As a student, he founded a clinic to provide free dental care to Veterans in need. Named in honor of his brother, Sgt. Clint Ferrin, who was lost in combat in 2004, this initiative stands as a testament to Dr. Ferrin’s values and earned him the prestigious ADA Foundation Award for student leadership. Drawn to the surgical precision and transformative potential of implant dentistry, Dr. Ferrin advanced his training at the University of Kentucky's Periodontal Program. There, he mastered complex techniques including sinus elevation, ridge augmentation, and implant placement. He graduated with a Master's of Science and a certificate in Periodontology, solidifying his expertise in rebuilding smiles. Much like Dr. Malloy, Dr. Ferrin is committed to elevating the standard of dental care in the region. He is a driving force behind the Rogue Excellence Dental Club, an affiliate of the renowned Seattle Study Club. His dedication to continuous learning and peer mentorship has been recognized with multiple honors, including the "Rookie of the Year" (2019) and the "Exceptional Leadership Award" (2021). When he isn't in surgery or leading a study club, Dr. Ferrin is usually found outdoors. He is an avid ruck marcher, recently completing the grueling 24-hour, 40-mile GoRuck Heavy Challenge in New York City, and loves spending quality time with his children.
