ABOUT ME
Dr. Reppell says, “Throughout my eight years of college I met many individuals with low self-confidence-which was a large hindrance to their lives. Being a dentist affords me the opportunity to help people gain confidence in their oral health and smile. This field piqued my interest because I can be my artistic self and improve patient’s oral health at the same time!”.
After graduating from Eastern Illinois University, Dr. Reppell received her Dental Degree from the Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine. To keep up with evolving technology, she’s a member of the American Dental Association and the American Association for Women Dentists. She is the recipient of several awards including the International College of Dentists, Humanitarian Award.
Dr. Reppell says, “I love anything outdoors, in the mountains or water! I enjoy hiking, camping, scuba, kayaking, and biking. I am also quite fond of the arts, anything from sketching to live music.”
“I am an extreme foodie! I not only eat food for survival but also as a hobby. I am a huge advocate for eating healthy to prevent cavities, but I am willing to discuss or trade dessert recipes for my sweet tooth!”

Dr. Vu says, “I am passionate about providing the highest possible quality of care for my patients and exceeding their expectations,” says Dr. Vu, who was voted one of Eugene’s top dentists in 2011. “The opportunity to meet their needs and improve their overall oral health is deeply satisfying.”
He has enjoyed practicing in Eugene since 2002, after receiving his Doctorate in Dentistry from Indiana University and graduating top of his class in clinical training. He has received advanced training in all aspects of general dentistry, including extensive training in Implantology. Dr. Vu has performed more than 1,500 cases of root canal therapy and other procedures, including dental implants, extractions, dentures, crowns and bridges.
Dr. Vu’s philosophy is heavily focused on preventive dentistry for children and adults: “I encourage and recommend all new patients and those seen on emergency basis to return for a comprehensive exam. This gives me the opportunity to develop long-term relationships and work on improving my patients’ overall oral health. The patients like it, too, because they experience fewer invasive procedures, less discomfort and lower costs.”
Dr. Vu and his wife, Tristen devote their free time to family and traveling. They also enjoy snowboarding, biking and watersports. Dr. Vu is a member of the American Dental Association.
