Robert L. Nisson, DDS MSD
I grew up in Eureka, California where my father was a general dentist. I learned from him the importance of building trusting relationships based on honesty and respect. I graduated from UC Davis where I received a Bachelor of Science degree. I began my dental education at the University of the Pacific in San Francisco where I earned my Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS). After becoming a general dentist, I went on to complete specialty training in orthodontics for another two years, where I received my Master of Science in Dentistry (MSD) degree and my Certificate in Orthodontics from the University of the Pacific Orthodontic Residency Program.
I have been practicing orthodontics exclusively in Cameron Park since 1989. Since that time, I have attended numerous continuing education courses, including the Roth Orthodontics Group, Roncone Orthodontics International, and the Spear Study Club, keeping abreast of the latest advancements in orthodontics.
