After dental school she completed an Advance Education in General Dentistry Residency at UMKC to further her education.

After practicing general dentistry for 15 years, Dr. Shivaun had found that her true passion is treating children. She and her husband have three wonderful children, Chase, Chloe, and Drew. In their free time the McArtor family loves to hit the slopes, exercise and watch their kiddos play any sport. Dr. Larsen grew up in a small Colorado mountain town near Pikes Peak. He graduated from Colorado University with a Bachelors in Integrative Physiology in 2009 and then from University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine in 2014.

He and his wife, Meagan, have two high-energy children, Bella and Kai, who have the same birthday exactly two years apart. Watching classic Hollywood films, riding motorcycles, weightlifting, and trying Mexican restaurants with his family are among his many hobbies.
