From our earliest days, we’ve been a family practice with a focus on our patients. Dr. Nolan Petry started the practice in 1955, and his son Dr. Loren Petry joined in 1973. Dr. Ryan Walton, son-in-law of Dr. Petry, joined the practice as the third generation in 2007. We’ve been serving our wonderful patients for over 50 years.

She will take you on a tour of the office, helping you feel comfortable with your new surroundings. After your appointment, Lindsay will greet you once again to ensure that we met your highest expectations.
Nicole Hammer Dental Assistant
Niki is the youngest of our team members, and not surprisingly, the most energetic. She seems to be able to be two places at once! Niki always has the best interests of the patients in mind, and will do anything she can to make your appointment more pleasant.
Once you are settled, Niki will turn on the massage chair and offer you the remote control and headphones for the TV. At the end of a long appointment, she will present you with a warm towel and bottle of water to go.
