COSHOCTON – Dr. John Olis has been practicing dentistry for 32 years, practicing locally in Coshocton for 30 years. Recently, Olis decided to retire, leaving the general dentistry practice to Matt and Tammi Schaeferle.

Olis began practicing in Coshocton in 1983 in the downtown mini-plaza. He then moved to his current location at 234 Cambridge Rd. 21 years ago. His last official day at his office was May 23. But Olis doesn’t plan on retiring from dentistry completely.

Olis began serving in the Air Force in 2002, and one day a month, he still works at the Air Force screening all of the troops.

“It’s a good comradery on a professional bases,” said Olis. “Here, I’m all by myself, but I go up there and get to spend time with other dentists.”

Olis plans to spend his retirement hunting, golfing, and spending more quality time with his family, especially his father and grandchildren.

Matt and Tammi Schaeferle of Apple Valley, Ohio, took over the practice on May 23. Matt graduated from the University of Louisville and Tammi graduated from The Ohio State University, both in 1998. They have also served in the Navy at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The two met in Hawaii and when they married, Tammi brought Matt back to her native state of Ohio.

The Schaeferles have two daughters, Kylie and Katlyn. They are accepting new patients and will be running the practice much the same as Olis has with a specialization in general dentistry. They average around 14 – 16 patients daily.

“We are looking forward to being a part of the community,” said Tammi.

To schedule an appointment with Drs. Matt and Tammi Schaeferle, contact 622-6797. They are located at the same building on Cambridge Rd.
