Chelsie was born and raised in California, and recently (in 2020) moved to Casa Grande from Oceanside, CA, with her husband and son. When Chelsie is not working, she enjoys family time, sports, swimming, going to the lake, spending time at the beach, boating, camping, and motocross.
Chelsie has been in the dental field since 2011. After graduating as an RDA (registered dental assistant), she worked as a dental assistant and began learning front office and all back office procedures and responsibilities, including managerial duties. Along with dental assisting and working the front office for specialties like orthodontics, implants, cosmetic, endodontics, oral surgery, general dentistry, and periodontists, Chelsie was also the hygiene manager for a previous dental practice in California. She is very passionate about the dental industry. As a little girl, she claims she had a weird thing about loving teeth, and it was always an inside joke with her family that she would hang signs on her bedroom door that said you could not enter if you had bad teeth. She started college in a business degree, but she decided to follow her true passion, the dental field, and quickly became motivated to pursue dentistry and has loved and excelled every step of the way!
Chelsie and her family (husband and son) moved to Arizona to purchase their first home and settle down. While sad to leave her California home and her dental family in Oceanside, she soon made her way to South Mountain Family Dental where she was welcomed with open arms. She feels at home with her new dental family, where everyone shares her passion for the industry and excellent dental care, and most of all for the patients. Chelsie believes there is nothing better than working for a family practice that you can feel at home with, including the confidence she has for the doctors and entire staff. She feels blessed to work with CSD!

Dr. Brueske attended Loma Linda University School of Dentistry. Dr. Brueske has also been certified in Clear Correct Orthodontics. He continues his studies in order to be the best dentist and provide the most excellent care to all his patients. Dr. Brueske has had the opportunity to go on multiple medical and dental aid work trips to the Amazon, Caribbean, Central America, and Africa, during which he was exposed to many different procedures and experiences in both fields.

I love the family atmosphere, from the Front office staff to the Doctors. They have pride in their work. Dr. Brueske and Dr. Dickerson are honest and kind. They both explained the procedures in ways I could understand. They offered multiple solutions with my care and helpful tips and tricks for a healthier smile. The hygienists are lovely especially Sarah! She remembers special details about you and makes sure to follow up on how you are doing. You are definitely not just another patient. I won't go to any other dental practice because these wonderful, exceptional people have my best interests at heart and truly care about my smile.

Dr. Dickerson was wonderful! The front desk staff was very friendly and Dr. Dickerson did whatever he could to help and get me the prescription I needed for the pain of my infected tooth right away. Definitely give this place a try if you haven't already.

This Dentist is the GOAT. As a person with anxiety and very bad experiences with past dental offices I am always very nervous when it comes to dental appointments. I can tell you that this Dentist as well as his staff have made me way more comfortable with seeing a dentist. They made me feel welcome explained everything and even made me laugh they go above and beyond for their patients. Thank you Dr. Dickerson and staff for the best service I have ever received. I am very excited to have a dentist that I look forward to seeing.
