Our Staff
Dr. Larson
Dr. Larson grew up in a small town outside of downtown Portland. He always had a wide range of interests with sports, art, music, science and medicine. Early job experience included picking strawberries, bucking hay, moving irrigation pipe, mowing lawns and welding. While at Western Oregon State College (now WOU), he was a teaching assistant, tutored math/Science and worked in the radiology department at Salem hospital.
With both parents and a grandparent in the dental field, Dr. Larson was always around conversations about teeth. The real love for dentistry developed as he spent more and more time in his mom’s office where she worked for a number of years as a hygienist. He loved the personal relationships that developed between the long time staff and multiple generations of patients. With the natural affinity to dentistry, it was only fitting to meet his future wife while in dental school at OHSU. His wife, Dr. Megan, has her own practice in Salem where she enjoys practicing with her father.
After receiving his Doctorate of Medical Dentistry from OHSU, Dr. Larson spent an additional year as a resident helping Vets at the Portland VA Medical Hospital. Since completing the hospital based dental residency, he continues to help on his “off days” in the dental clinic. Responsibilities as an Attending include: Overseeing/teaching residents, consulting and treating medically compromised patients (head and neck radiation, kidney/liver transplant, heart conditions, etc.)
The Larsons’ have settled in Wilsonville, Oregon where they are raising three very active boys (older two are twins). Outside of the office, Dr. Larson enjoys coaching his three boys (football, baseball and basketball), camping, playing music and drawing.
