Dr. Erin Stanley

Russellville

Dr. Erin Stanley was born and raised in Indianapolis, IN amidst a family and community that instilled in her a strong work ethic and a deep love of people. She did not know she wanted to become a dentist until she was pursuing a social work degree at her alma mater, Lipscomb University in Nashville, TN. Learning about the dental disparities of the Appalachian region in her coursework led her to change to a pre-dental track. Her choice was further affirmed in her work with children with special needs during her time at Lipscomb, cultivating a desire to lift up and serve this population. Dr. Stanley firmly believes in holding patients’ dignity first, recognizing that every person she interacts with has an individual and unique story.

After receiving her Bachelor of Science in Molecular Biology with a minor in Chemistry from Lipscomb University, Dr. Stanley continued her education at UAB School of Dentistry where she received her Doctorate of Dental Medicine.

Dr. Stanley is incredibly grateful to join the team at Singing River Dentistry in the Russellville office, knowing that she is invited into a unique culture of patient-centric dental care with a unifying goal of serving patients and communities in and outside of the dental chair. She enjoys building long-lasting relationships with her patients and helping alleviate any fears they have of dental treatment.

Outside of the dental office, Dr. Stanley enjoys reading, cooking, crocheting, writing, singing, and staying active through running and hiking. She is very close with her family and considers her faith in Christ to be the most important pursuit in her life. Make sure to ask her what she is currently listening to and reading; she will gladly discuss this with you!

Dr. Pete has been a full time missionary, health specialist, educator, and most importantly a dedicated father and husband. He and his family are excited to now be a part of the Shoals area community. He and his wife Lorena have four children (Olivia, Kaleb, Nolan, and McKay).

He is motivated to build a life and legacy defined by serving God, his family, and his neighbors. He believes that each role he has played in life has given him opportunities to enrich people’s lives in unique ways, as well as teaching him selflessness, teamwork, compassion, and to strive for excellence in everything he does. As he practiced these attributes in dental school, he found
joy seeing patients find relief and confidence again in their smile and function.

His career vision is to practice in an environment with teamwork, positive communication, continuing education, and mentorship, and to provide the most compassionate and highest quality care for his community. Dr. Pete is fluent in Spanish, enhancing his ability to communicate effectively with a broader range of patients and ensuring inclusive and comprehensive care.
