Dr. Karissa Schneider
Dr. Karissa Schneider was born and raised in Albany, OR, and she is a second-generation dentist! After graduating from West Albany High School, she attended Oregon State University and earned an honors degree in biohealth sciences with a chemistry minor. After working at Pinnacle Dental Associates throughout high school and college, she decided to follow in her father’s footsteps and pursue dentistry as her career. She completed her dental school education at OHSU, graduating in 2024, which included a two-month dental externship.
She and her husband, Saul (a Salem native), were married in June 2024 and both now live in the area. In their free time, they enjoy golfing, hiking, reading, and spending time with friends and family. Karissa is beyond excited to be re-joining the practice, stay at the forefront of dental advancements, and help her patients achieve their oral health goals.
