Meet Our Incredible Staff

Dr. Amy Scepaniak is originally from Lisbon, North Dakota and when she married her husband from Westport they decided on Aberdeen as the place to raise their family. Amy has always been a “people” person and enjoys the opportunity to work closely with each of her patients. For her, there’s nothing better than helping people love their smile whether it’s through a simple procedures like whitening or more in depth procedures like crowns and bridges. Before she opened her dental practice in Aberdeen, Amy developed some impressive skills as a welder at the Bobcat plant in Gwinner, North Dakota. The job paid for college and may come in handy someday. Her spare time is spent with her family at her children’s events and sports. Amy and her family also enjoy the outdoors with activities like golfing, biking and walking. Family, faith, friends (and chocolate) are all very important to Amy and her life wouldn’t be complete without them.

Dr. Aleaha Fettig grew up in Killdeer, a small town in western North Dakota. After dental school, she lived in New Mexico and Texas before moving back closer to family.

Erin has a passion for travel and when she’s not taking a weekend trip to the Black Hills or Minnesota, she’s planning her next trip by reading about other cultures and parts of the world.

Something most people don’t know is that she ran track in college her freshman year before transferring to USD for dental hygiene.
