The People Behind Your Care

Most of our team has been together for years, and many of them chose this work because of an experience in a dental chair of their own. Here they are in their own words.

John Peterson, DMD

Boston University School of Dentistry graduate, Boise native, and the reason straightening teeth sits at the center of this practice. Over 300 Invisalign and braces cases completed.

Hygienists, Assistants, and Coordinators

These are the people you will actually spend your appointment with, from the front desk to the chair.

B

Bobree

Dental Hygienist

With the practice since 2009

I have been interested in teeth for as long as I can remember. When I was age six, I used a rock to knock out my front teeth so I could get the permanent teeth to come in.

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 became a dental assistant to familiarize myself with the dental world, and 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 we are camping, hiking, fishing, or just having a picnic in the park. My family is the best part of my life. The best part of my job is building relationships with our awesome patients.

Jordan

Dental Hygienist

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 did not 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 Bachelor of Science in Exercise and Wellness at BYU, I jumped back into school to pursue my dream, and completed my second Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene from Utah College of Dental Hygiene.

Abigail

Dental Assistant

With the practice since 2016

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, and that is 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, and familiarized myself with the art of dental surgery procedures.

I enjoy working at Peterson Family Dentistry because we do so many varieties of great dental work. I strive to make sure our patients feel comfortable in every aspect, and I am bilingual.

I am originally from Emmett and reside in Star, Idaho. I am very dedicated to health and fitness. In my free time I love lifting weights and meal prepping.

Samantha

Dental Assistant

When I was in braces as a teenager, that is 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. Outside of work I enjoy dirt biking and go almost every weekend. I also try to stay healthy by going to the gym and hiking.

Alysia

Dental Assistant

12 years in dentistry

I have been in dentistry for 12 years. I started out working the front office for two 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 dentist as a little girl, so my passion in this field is to help people overcome their fear.

I have six children who are my entire life. In my spare time, I love to play the guitar and anything outdoors.

K

Kristy

Office Manager & Treatment Coordinator

In dentistry since 2000

I grew up in Horseshoe Bend, Idaho, and I have been in dentistry since 2000. I went to the Milan Institute for dental assisting, and I am the office manager and treatment coordinator for our practice.

I am very knowledgeable with all insurances and the financial aspects of dentistry. Being a dental assistant has helped with the familiarity of dental procedures, so I am here to answer any of your questions.

I have two little girls who are my whole world. On weekends I enjoy camping and spending time with my family.

Sarah

Patient Coordinator

I was born in Florida and grew up in Montana. Due to my dad being in the Air Force, I have lived in so many other places. I recently moved here to Idaho from Las Vegas, and 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.

I am starting to fall in love with Idaho every day. In my spare time, I love to work out. I especially love to hang out with my dog, Oliver. I am up for any adventure.
