Dr. John grew up in Washington state. He received his Bachelor of Science degree at Pacific Lutheran University and earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Loma Linda University School of Dentistry.

He enjoys all aspects of dentistry and considers himself blessed to care for patients and is grateful for the trust they put in him to care for their smiles.
When out of the office, Dr. J is involved in his church and community. He enjoys keeping up with their 3 growing boys, together they enjoy mountain biking, wake surfing, or water & snow skiing.

Missy Nelsen, DDS
Dr. Missy grew up here in Chico, and earned her BA in Liberal Studies with an emphasis in Biology at Pacific Union College. She met Dr. John the first day of dental school at Loma Linda University, and the rest is history! She is so excited to be a female dentist back in Chico, practicing together with John & raising their 3 boys. She loves being a mother and is very involved with the boys school and church. She loves practicing dentistry, and especially loves her patients, and loves seeing most of the kids in the practice. She too is committed to providing you with the highest quality of dental care and looks forward to building lifelong relationships with you and your family. When they are not working, you'll find her playing tennis, running, snow skiing, or playing at the lake with friends and family.
