Meet Dr. Biernath

Karl E. Biernath, DDS: From France to the Napa Valley

Napa Valley dentist, Karl E. Biernath, has provided family dentistry in the Napa Valley for over 15 years. Dr. Biernath (pronounced Beernot) was born and raised in France, near Versailles until the age of 18 when he moved to California with his family. He attended the Lycee Franais in San Francisco and obtained his baccalaureate. With advice from his grandfather and relatives in the dental technician field, Dr. Biernath considered a career in medicine or dentistry outside of Europe. Dr. Biernath chose dentistry because of the challenging hand skills and changing new materials which intrigued and fascinated him. He attended University of the Pacific in Stockton California where he majored in Chemistry as an undergraduate preparing for dental school. He graduated from the University of the Pacific (UOP) School of Dentistry and began his dental career. Dr. Biernath lived and worked in San Francisco and its environs for a few years before settling in Napa with his wife ( a native Napan) in 1991. Dr. Biernath has worked and experienced many facets of dentistry, both in clinics and private offices in the Napa Valley. In 2002, Dr. Karl Biernath opened his private practice in the city of Napa where today he provides quality care to families.

Dr. Biernath enjoys music, cars (especially European and American 1960’s era automobiles), traveling, exploring new cultures, the culinary arts and history. He is a history and geography enthusiast, and enjoys the Southwest, Canada, Mexico and Europe. Dr. Biernath enjoys time with family and his French bulldog. On rare occasion, or by request, his Frenchie makes a brief appearance at the office.
