Dr. Michael Nelsen
DMD
Dr. Michael grew up in Folsom, California, and is excited to now call Reno home. After graduating from Vista del Lago High School, he attended Willamette University in Salem, Oregon, where he earned his degree in Biology with minors in Chemistry and Art History. He also played collegiate baseball during his time there.
Dr. Michael went on to earn his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) School of Dentistry in Portland. While at OHSU, he was an active member of the American Student Dental Association and Delta Sigma Delta dental fraternity.
He looks forward to joining the Reno community and enjoying everything the area has to offer — especially trail running, skiing, and fishing. His wife, Jacquelyn, will be working in Reno as a Physical Therapist.
Dr. Michael is passionate about providing exceptional care and helping patients feel confident in their smiles.
