About Us

Dr. Sommer was born and raised in Coldwater, Ohio along with her three sisters and four brothers. She grew up on a dairy farm where she spent her time helping, playing and learning what hard work is all about. Dr. Sommer can recall wanting to be a dentist ever since the third grade. She has fond memories of her childhood dentist, Dr. Forsthofel, being so kind and gentle. She strives to be just like him. She attended and graduated from Coldwater High School, Defiance College and then received her dental degree from The Ohio State University in 2005.

Dr. Sommer met Matthew, her husband, while at OSU. After graduation, she moved back “home” where she always wanted to settle down and join a dental office where she could serve her family, friends and community. Dr. Sommer worked in Lima at a federally qualified health center prior to practicing in Versailles. She loved the Versailles area so much she decided to purchase Versailles Dental in 2010 as she knew this is where she wanted to establish roots and settle down permanently.

Dr. Sommer currently resides in Minster on her husband’s family farm with their six children Eleanor, Blake, Thomas, Mary Catherine, Amelia, and Regina. They have a variety of animals on their farm including black angus cattle, chickens, ducks, guineas, peacocks, and their spunky dog Lyla. She enjoys spending time with her family and friends.

During her free time, she likes to jog, garden, travel, rollerblade, and cook. (Fun fact: she made bacon wrapped duck breast for Matthew when they were first dating and he instantly fell in love. The old saying is true, a way to a man's heart is through his stomach)!

She is a member of the Western Ohio Dental Society, Ohio Dental Association, and American Dental Association. Dr. Sommer is also certified with the American Academy of Facial Esthetics.

Dr. Humphreys grew up just down the road in Fort Loramie, Ohio. A lifelong Buckeye fan, Dr. Humphreys received his bachelor’s degree in microbiology from The Ohio State University in 2016 before attending The Ohio State University College of Dentistry and graduating in 2020.

Dr. Humphreys prides himself on the importance of education in order to provide his patients with the highest caliber of care. In his years since graduation, Dr. Humphreys has completed coursework on predictable crown and bridge outcomes, minimally invasive root canal therapy, and taken over 60 hours of professional instruction at Implant Pathway where he was trained on placing and restoring dental implants for patients who are wanting to enhance their missing or incomplete smile. Dr. Humphreys is also currently attending a series of continuing education courses at the Kois Center in Seattle where he has amassed over 200 hours in advanced training. From this instruction, he plans on bringing back evidence-based dentistry to the area in order to treat the needs of patients with simple or complex treatment plans, biting issues, joint/jaw pain, cosmetic dental issues, missing tooth/teeth replacement options, and many other concerns.

Dr. Humphreys and his wife Aly met during their time at OSU. Aly is currently an operating room nurse at Miami Valley Hospital and is originally from New Bremen. When not working, Dr. Humphreys and Aly remain active with their fox red Labrador, Ridley, and look forward to beginning a family in the near future. Dr Humphreys also enjoys time spent with friends and family, weekend trips to the lake with his wife, hunting at his family’s cabin in southeast Ohio, and discovering new restaurants to try.

Dr. Humphreys is extremely excited to be back in the area he grew up in to treat the same people that helped shape him into who he is today. It is his goal to make sure every patient who walks in the door is treated with compassion and leaves with a better understanding of their mouth and its importance to systemic health.
