Meet our team of doctors

Peter Snyder

DDS, PC, Founder

Dr. Peter Snyder is a general dentist who graduated from Creighton Dental School in May of 1994. Dr. Snyder’s undergraduate degree is from the University of Oregon in Biology. This makes him 100% duck.

After working 4 years as an associate dentist in a group practice on the Big Island of Hawaii, Dr. Snyder moved back to Oregon to purchase his own dental practice. He is married and has 2 daughters. His youngest daughter is involved in soccer through the Eugene Timbers and plays for Churchill High School. His oldest daughter is now attending the University of Portland.

When Dr. Snyder is not cheering the Oregon Ducks or the Churchill Lancers, he is attending continuing education classes in the field of dentistry. Dr. Snyder is a member of the Academy of General Dentistry.

In August of 2006, Dr. Peter Snyder became a Fellow in the Academy of General Dentistry. This award represents the professional responsibility of him to remain current in dentistry through quality continuing education.

Dr. Snyder has been a member of numerous dental study clubs, including the Spears Study Club, and recently attending the Zimmer Institute in Carlsbad, CA.

Dr. Snyder’s hobbies include hiking, running, traveling, and watching his daughter play soccer.

Leah Hickson

DDS, PC

Dr. Hickson graduated from Creighton University School of Dentistry in 2007. Joining our team in February 2018, she adds dental services such as Cerec single day restorations, and LANAP laser periodontal therapy to our practice.

Native to our area, Dr. Hickson grew up in Lane county and lives with her husband and two labradors in Pleasant Hill. She enjoys getting outside, hiking, camping, fishing and biking.

“Comprehensive care means considering the health of the whole mouth as treatment is planned, rather than treating individual teeth when they have a problem. With comprehensive care, the end goal is optimum oral health. Treatment is almost always less expensive and extensive when teeth are restored before they become a problem.”

Dr. Hickson says it’s her goal to give patients the most complete information about their oral health status and then help them choose the treatment ooption that best fits.

Holly Park-Nah

DDS, Endodontist

Dr. Park-Nah did her undergraduate studies at UCLA and then completed her dental school at Columbia University and finished her Certificate in Endodontics at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Park-Nah has been a certified Endodontist since 2002.

Dr. Park-Nah has lectured at the University of Los Angeles and worked as an Assistant Professor at the University of Kentucky, College of Dentistry. She enjoyed the students and the rewarding aspects of teaching others.

Dr. Park-Nah moved to Eugene in September of 2018 following her husband’s career path as he took a position as a Professor at the University of Oregon. She joined Eugene Dental Associates in March of 2019 allowing the office to offer in-house root-canals to our patients.

She has definitely learned to enjoy the “Duck” culture of Eugene. Dr. Park-Nah has one son who attends O’Hara and she enjoys gardening in her spare time.
