"I enjoy getting to know my patients and their families. I look forward to meeting new people and establishing relationships. I also look forward to renewing and strengthening relationships with established patients.

As a dentist, every day I have opportunities to make positive impacts in people’s lives. Dentistry is rewarding for so many reasons: I’m able to help people feel better about their smiles, relieve a person’s pain, and restore someone’s ability to chew comfortably.

I enjoy the variety that comes with each day. Every patient is different, with different clinical and personal needs. Whether I’m doing a filling or a crown or replacing a tooth, I get excited about improving that person’s oral health" — Dr. Donald Nelson, Jr.
