Pete Olberding, DDS
I graduated from Dowling High School in 1981. I then matriculated to Creighton University, where I obtained a degree in psychology. In 1985, I entered the Dental School at the University of Iowa. During my studies, I was honored to be elected as the University representative for the American Student Dental Association. I also had the pleasure of holding the office of class president. In my second year, I began conducting research projects. This gave me the opportunity to present at numerous symposiums nationally and internationally. Since the end of my formal education, I have been engrossed in several aspects of dentistry; primarily, advanced training in such areas as aesthetics and occlusion.I am fortunate to be married to another excellent dentist and wonderful mother. We have twin daughters who are active in sports. I enjoy most outdoor sports; however, I concentrate most of my free time on my family and the golf course.
