Dr. Kevin Peterson
Dr Kevin Peterson has been practicing dentistry in Northern Nevada for over 18 years. He comes from large family of dentists including his father, brother and two brothers in-law, all dentists! Kevin enjoys trail running, snowboarding, tennis, mountain biking and spending time with his wife and kids. They have three children ranging from seven to sixteen years old.
Kevin grew up in Southeast Idaho with seven brothers and sisters. He then attended Utah State University where he earned his Bachelor's degree. While in college he took time off to serve a church mission in Costa Rica for two years and he's now fluent in Spanish. After graduating from Utah State he headed off to dental school at The Ohio State University, graduating with his DDS in 2006. He then headed to Carson City, NV, and joined Lone Mountain Family Dentistry, where he's practiced for 18 years. Dr Beau Walker recently joined the practice and they've opened a second location in Reno.
Dr Peterson enjoys all aspects of general dentistry and being able to make a difference in his patients' smiles and overall health!
Dr. Beau Walker
Dr. Walker grew up in Morgan, Utah and graduated from BYU-Idaho with a degree in Biomedical Science. He earned his D.M.D. at Oregon Health & Science University in Portland. He is married to Kristen, who tries her best to keep him in line. Outside of dentistry, he has a passion for music, whether it’s playing the piano or creating new tunes. He also enjoys cycling and on occasion considers hitting the gym—though more often than not, he finds himself 7 doughnuts deep at Krispy Kreme!
His favorite pastime, unfortunately, is eating candy and other sweets and thus in his younger years he spent a fair amount of time in the dental chair. He swears it was purely selfless. He just wanted to experience it all to better know how to treat his future patients!
