Dr. Anna Kolstad

Dr. Anna Kolstad was born in Central Illinois and raised in Southeast Wisconsin. As a high school student, Dr. Anna Kolstad became interested in dentistry and worked in a dental practice. This experience helped her choose dentistry as a career path and she continued her education earning her Bachelor’s degree and Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Marquette.

Dr. Anna Kolstad practiced dentistry in a variety of private practice settings before being introduced to Dr. Tark Barsamian. After meeting Dr. Tark Barsamian, they instantly bonded over their mutual respect for patients and involving them in treatment decisions. Dr. Anna Kolstad understands dental needs are unique and she takes extra time to get to know her patient’s on a personal level. She works with her patients to achieve and maintain a healthy mouth for life.

In her free time Dr. Anna Kolstad enjoys cooking, gardening, reading and travel. She stays active in her profession and has served on the Marquette Dental School Admission Committee. She is a member of the American Dental Association, Wisconsin Dental Association and Waukesha County Dental Society.

She is married to her dental school classmate Dr. James Kolstad. Together they have two young children that keep them very busy when not fixing teeth.
Dr. Anna Kolstad is very excited to provide dental care in the community she lives. She looks forward to meeting you and providing comprehensive care for years to come.

Dr. Tark Barsamian DDS

Dr. Barsamian's retirement is this past June of 2026.


He has been slowly transitioning his practice over the last three years to Dr. Kolstad. He made the decision this past Spring to fully retire after dedicating over 40 years to the profession.


The time has come for him to spend more time with his family and in his shop working on his many projects.


He will be remembered by the team, patients, and colleagues for his creative thinking and dry sense of humor. He will still be in and out of the office to help us with various maintenance items, come by for a coffee, or attend one of our birthday potlucks.
