I enjoy getting to know my patients and their families. I look forward to meeting new people and establishing relationships. I also look forward to renewing and strengthening relationships with established patients.
As a dentist, every day I have opportunities to make positive impacts in peoples lives. Dentistry is rewarding for so many reasons: Im able to help people feel better about their smiles, relieve a persons pain, and restore someones ability to chew comfortably.
I enjoy the variety that comes with each day. Every patient is different, with different clinical and personal needs. Whether Im doing a filling or a crown or replacing a tooth, I get excited about improving that persons oral health. Dr. Donald Nelson, Jr.
Each year Dr. Donald Nelson, Jr. completes many hours of continuing dental education. This is a reflection of the practice, which offers a variety of procedures and services. Dr. Nelson stays up to date on the latest materials, procedures, and technology. He enjoys constantly learning, for himself and because his patients trust him to provide the best care available.
A native of Springfield, Dr. Nelson graduated from Effingham County High School. He now lives in Rincon with his wife Carrie and their two children, Braydon and Claire. Most of his time away from the office is spent with his family. Right now that means lots of trips to the park, reading bedtime stories, and watching too much Disney Jr. In the summer, Dr. Nelson enjoys family trips to the beach.
Dr. Nelson likes to stay in shape, whether hes running or going to the gym. Hes also an avid reader, but struggles to find time for it because his young children keep him busy. He does, however, find time to follow college football, especially The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.
I feel blessed to have the opportunity and ability to help people. Whether Im getting someone out of pain, helping them achieve a better smile, or educating them on how to take care of their mouth, Im improving that persons life.
I enjoy getting to know each patient on a personal level. I find that by asking questions and actively listening to a patients answers, Im better able to understand their goals and concerns. We talk about their dental situation and the options available to help them meet their needs.
I want my patients to be involved in deciding their treatment path: When theyre invested in treatment, theyre more inclined to take care of the results. Seeing a patient take control of their dental health and smile is always my goal. Dr. Robert Nelson
