DENTIST NEAR OLYMPIA, WA

Dr. Venn Peterson

Although Dr. Peterson went to the dentist growing up and had a few classmates whose parents were dentists, he didn’t consider this career path for himself until he took a class about medicine in high school. One day, a few doctors came in to talk about their jobs, and he was immediately drawn to what the dentists shared. He always had an interest in science and working with people, and dentistry offered the perfect combination of the two!

As for his studies, Dr. Peterson graduated cum laude from Brigham Young University in 1996. Next, he attended the University of Washington School of Dentistry. Year after year, he pursues continuing education to stay abreast of the latest techniques and technology. Plus, he actively participates in professional organizations like the American Dental Association and the Washington State Dental Association.

While the clinical aspects of dentistry have always fascinated Dr. Peterson, he loves building genuine relationships with his patients equally. Getting to know the person in his treatment chair, their families, their unique dental needs, and their smile goals is something he genuinely enjoys about his job, and he’s honored he has the opportunity to do that each and every day.

Dr. Peterson and his wife, Cathi, have four children, so life outside the office is quite busy! His hobbies include playing guitar, watching sports, volunteering, participating in his church, singing, and spending time outside.

Dr. Spenser Cammack

Since his mom was a nurse, Dr. Cammack’s interest in healthcare was piqued at a young age. He also spent quite a bit of time at his dentist’s office growing up. The combination of the two experiences piqued his interest in pursuing a career in dentistry, and he’s never looked back since!

Although he grew up in Phoenix, Dr. Cammack ultimately chose to pursue his studies at Brigham Young University. Then, he served on a church mission in Nicaragua, went back to Brigham Young University to earn his B.S. in exercise science, and earned his dental doctorate from The Ohio State University College of Dentistry! Throughout this time, he participated in several community outreach programs and volunteer clinics as well, which was extremely rewarding. Now, he keeps his skills sharp by maintaining active memberships with the American Dental Association, the Washington State Dental Association, the Olympia Study Club, and several others.

There’s no denying Dr. Cammack’s passion for dentistry. Of course, his favorite thing to do is spend time with his family. He and his wife, Nadia, have four children and love to travel. So far, they’ve visited everywhere from the Pacific Northwest and Arizona to England! He also enjoys remaining active by running, participating at his church, and coaching his children’s teams.
