D.M.D. General Dentist
Dr. Peterschmidt says, “To me, being a dentist is about promoting oral health for my patients and treating them the way I would want to be treated. I strive to treat all my patients with sincerity and respect while looking out for their best interests and helping them progress to oral health and maintaining it for a lifetime. I am committed to being the best technically skilled dentist I can be for my patients, but foremost to being someone that people can trust and feel comfortable with.
After graduating from Oregon State University, Dr. Peterschmidt received his Dental Degree from the OHSU School of Dentistry.
“Dentistry is an area of health care that is somewhat specialized in it of itself and allows me to focus on certain aspects that I like and enjoy. Fixing broken or decayed front teeth is one of my favorite procedures because it’s great to see the patient’s response and the change it can make in their smile. I was drawn to dentistry because of the artistic aspect it presents as well as the very hands on treatment. I’ve enjoyed art and crafting things with my hands since I was a kid and dentistry fits me great!”
Dr. Peterschmidt says, “I enjoy playing basketball and volleyball as well as going to the movies and vegging out with my video games every now and then. I’ve also just started garden which has been a fun new hobby.”
