The Fall 2021 issue of WSDA News is now available!

Cover Story | 2021 WSDA Citizen of the Year Dr. Peter Hampl

Peter Hampl will tell you flat-out that he hasn’t done anything that anyone else doesn’t also do. The 79-year-old Gig Harbor resident looks every bit the part of the relaxed retiree, finding time to enjoy outings with Jeanne — his wife of 53 years — hunt ducks, and visit with his twin 11-year old grandsons. But don’t let the 2021 WSDA Citizen of the Year fool you. Spend an hour talking with him and you’ll quickly come to appreciate his love of forensic dentistry and the dental profession, which he has given back to time and again, in remarkable and extraordinary ways that few others in his profession have. Read more about Dr. Hampl in this issue's cover story.
