a family finds home in pagosa springs
For many years, Peter and Christy Roukema owned a second home in Pagosa Springs and spent significant time here. As many do, they fell in love with the people, the community, and the beauty. So when an opportunity arose for them to own a dental practice in their ‘home away from home,’ they jumped on it.
Living full-time in Pagosa Springs and owning Pagosa Peak Family Dental is a dream come true for Peter, Christy, and their four children (Hannah, Max, Sam and Ben). They’ve finally found their forever home.
Having grown up in Pueblo, Colorado has always held a special place in Dr. Roukema’s heart. After living and practicing dentistry in New Mexico for fifteen years, Dr. Roukema, his wife Christy, and their four children (Hannah, Max, Sam and Ben) are grateful to be back in Colorado and are happy to be in the beautiful community of Pagosa Springs.
