I grew up in a small town in western Washington. I met my husband at age sixteen and we have had many adventures over the years. Our biggest adventure was a five month backpacking trip through Europe in 2007, visiting over twenty countries. We moved to Boise when we returned, to escape the rain of western Washington.

I really got interested in dental hygiene as a senior in high school. I ended up becoming a dental assistant to familiarize myself with the dental world. I worked as an assistant for two years before getting my dental hygiene education at Shoreline Community College in north Seattle.

My husband and I now have a very energetic son with a ton of personality and the sweetest, sassiest little daughter. We enjoy being outside, whether were camping, hiking, fishing or just having a picnic in the park. My family is the best part of my life.

I have wanted to be a dental hygienist from the time I was a little girl. I remember going to get my teeth cleaned and thinking all the hygienists were so nice, got to wear cute scrubs, and got to use fun instruments. I didnt realize at such a young age that dental hygiene is a profession full of so much more than cute scrubs and fun instruments! Shortly after completing my first Bachelors of Science in Exercise and Wellness at BYU, I jumped back into school to pursue my dream, and completed my second Bachelors of Science in Dental Hygiene from Utah College of Dental Hygiene.

I grew up in the Boise/Eagle area for most of my life, and met my husband at the age of 15- a high school sweetheart success story! We have a fun and active son, and his personality is bigger than his little body. We also have a sweet and animated daughter who keeps us on our toes. They fill our lives with so much light! As a family we enjoy spending time in McCall on the lake, and just enjoy the outdoors in general whether we ride bikes, go for walks, or play sports in the backyard. I also enjoy reading and music.

I have been working at Peterson Family Dentistry since the beginning of 2012, and feel blessed to have this dental family! When you work with such an amazing team and get to help so many wonderful people, its easy to love your job. The relationships and experiences made here in our office with our patients and with our team have made dental hygiene such a rewarding part of my life.

When I was little I used to make my little sisters lay down and I would pretend I was cleaning their teeth with toothpicks! The first thing I notice about people are their teeth; thats always why I wanted to be a dental assistant. I went to the Milan Institute to study Dental Assisting and I have been a dental assistant since 2012. I started out in pediatrics where I worked with many amazing kids! I moved to North Dakota for two years where I worked in Oral and Maxillofacial surgery.I familiarized myself with the art of dental surgery procedures! I have been with Dr. Peterson since 2016. I enjoy working at Peterson Family Dentistrybecause we do so many varities of great dental work. I strive to make sure our patients feel comfortable in every aspect. I am also bi-lingual!

When I was in braces as teenager, thats when I knew I wanted to be in dentistry. In 2015 I joined the USAF and did my dental training in San Antonio, Texas. Ever since then, I have been with Dr. Peterson and our amazing team. I love working here because I love helping people feel good about their smiles and achieving their dental goals.

I have been in dentistry for 12 years.I started out working the front office for 2 years, and I have been a dental assistant for 10 years now. I love working in dentistry because I love getting to know people and building relationships. It makes me feel so good knowing I can help people. I used to be terrified of the dentistas a little girl. My passion in this field is to help people overcome their fear.

I grew up in Horseshoe Bend, Idaho. I have been in dentistry since 2000. I went to the Milan Institute for dental assisting. I am the office manager and treatment coordinator for our practice! I am very knowledgable with all insurances andfinancial aspects of dentistry. Being a dental assistant has helped with thefamiliarity of dental procedures. I am here to answer any of your questions.

I was born in Floridia and grew up in Montana. Due to my dad being the Air Force, I have lived in so many other places! I just recently moved here to Idaho from Las Vegas. My favorite place I have lived is here in Boise now. I love being in dentistry because I have met so many wonderful people. My face is the first face you will see when you walk into our office! I am going to school for a business degree at Boise State University.

New patient experience today: - I set up an appointment for 12:45pm and ask them to transfer my records from prior dentist - I receive a text message the morning of the appointment to remind me of the appointment at 12:45pm - I show up for the appointment (around 12:40pm) and their door is locked. I wait around, call, knock, text, etc. Finally, I leave around 12:55pm. - They call me once I'm back home and ask where I am and if I can come back there for my "1pm appointment" (very clearly trying to not own up to the planning error). In that conversation, I learn that they also didn't bother to transfer my records either - which would have made today's appointment much less effective and meaningful. I'm not re-scheduling with them... will look for someone else nearby Update: they did later call to apologize (not sure if it was triggered by this review, in all fairness).. upgraded a few stars

Dr Peterson and his associates are so friendly and caring. I've never had a dentist call after having work done to see how I was feeling! He's been my dentist for 9 years already and now my husband sees him, too.
