During this time, Dr. Nelson and his family lived in the Kenosha area and fell in love with the Badger State. They decided to settle down and call Wisconsin their permanent home.

Dr. Nelson enjoys all aspects of surgical and non-surgical endodontics. His current areas of interest include stem cell regeneration treatments and acoustic micro-streaming. He stays up to date with the most contemporary training and equipment and pushes the boundaries of what is possible in his field.

During his free time, Dr. Nelson is an avid learner -– he's always reading something. He's also an outdoor enthusiast and enjoys traveling. He, and his wife, Brooke, have four kids aged 5-15. They all feel lucky to have found this great oasis in the Midwest and look forward to serving the community for years to come.
