I was born and raised in Chico and I can't imagine a better place to grow up! I graduated from Chico State in 2004 with a B.A. in Social Science and decided to stay and work in town. Being a patient at Nelsen Family Dentistry, I've always admired what a pleasant and friendly office it was, and now I'm lucky enough to be employed by them! It's a pleasure to work with a group of people who are ethical and caring and always put their patients first!

Lana, RDH
Hygienist
I have had an incredible experience as a dental hygienist for the last 5 years. My love and compassion for my 2 sons, family, friends, and patients' has enriched my life beyond any of my expectations. Hygiene has given me the opportunity of educating and motivating others to care about their oral health and changing the lives of others as well as myself!
Michelle, RDH

I have been a dental hygienist in Chico for 5 years now. I work here at Nelsen Family Dentistry and absolutely love it! Being a dental hygienist is a very rewarding career and provides many opportunities for my patients and myself. Experiencing the importance of good oral health with my patients is fabulous and fulfilling. I enjoy spending time with my husband and 2 young sons. We love to camp, playing sports and enjoy traveling. My goal here at Nelsen Family Dentistry is to make each of your dental appointments a comfortable and enjoyable experience. Hope to see you soon!
JoAnne, RDH
Hygienist
As wife and mother of three children, it's important for me to work in a place where I feel at home. Since graduating from Loma Linda University in 1994 with a degree in Dental Hygiene, I have tried to work with people who not only provide the best quality in dentistry but have fun doing so. That's why I feel blessed to be a part of Nelsen Family Dentistry. I hope you will come and be a part of our unique dental family.
Kelly, RDA

I grew up in Weaverville, CA and came to Chico to attend CSUC. Later, I decided to go into the dental field and become a Registered Dental Assistant. Working in the dental field has been very rewarding to me. I love the people I work with, as well as the wonderful people we are privileged to meet and help each day!
Alana, RDA

I have been an RDA for 4 years, and so far it has been a very fulfilling career for me. I enjoy working with people and being part of educating them regarding their oral health. I have a wonderful family with my husband and two sons. We love playing football, camping and just spending time together. Nelsen Family Dentistry is a great place to work. The staff members are caring and compassionate, and I thoroughly enjoy working with them all!

I have lived in Chico since 1973, and met my husband here. We have been married for 30 years, and have raised two sons. I have been a Registered Dental Assistant for 30 years and absolutely love what I do! I am very privileged to be working here at Nelsen Family Dentistry.

Danielle, RDH
Hygienist
I had the privilege of being the first hygienist to work here at Nelsen Family Dentistry in 2000 when they first opened. After having my first child, my husband and I moved back to Indiana, IL, where we were both originally from. The cold winters and a new job opportunity, as well as family and friends brought us back home to Chico. Our children, as well as running our own moving company, Two Men and a Truck, keep us busy. It's such a treat to come back & work at Nelsen Family Dentistry. Seeing so many of my old patients again, and meeting more new & wonderful people make each day so fulfilling! I love being back, and part of such a great "family" where everyone is treated so genuinely and compassionately, and where excellence is the standard of care!
