Dr. Vetter is driven by a desire to help patients prevent and relieve suffering, including any anxiety that may come with visiting the dentist. He views dentistry as a team effort between the doctor and patient; “I tell my patients that I’m working with you, not on you.” His approach to care is empathetic and precise. When he’s not in the office, Dr. Vetter describes himself as an “obsessive participant” in all forms of mountain recreation, scuba diving, and kayak touring.
