Mandy Hernandez - Reception, office staff - mandy@gerdesdodge.com

Keith Dodge of Gerdes Dodge, has done my personal taxes for 4 years now and I am very happy with his high level of service.  I get called back, emails answered quickly and he even had time for me when I dropped in on him without an appointment.  I don’t think many CPAs do that for their clients.
