Meet Dr. Evan Harpster
Dr. Evan Harpster began his journey in dentistry at Nebraska Wesleyan University, earning top honors in Biology and German. Following a year teaching English in Germany, he returned to Nebraska for his dental training, earning his Doctorate of Dental Surgery. Dr. Harpster continued his orthodontic expertise at the University of Louisville, where he received both his Orthodontic Certificate and Master of Dental Science Degree.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Harpster embraces a life full of varied interests. He enjoys cooking, photography, yoga, and being outdoors. A fluent speaker of German and Portuguese, he loves exploring new countries and equally cherishes life's simple joys, such as a perfectly ripe avocado or a warm chocolate cookie.
