Meet the Nelson Dental Care Team
Courtney, Business Administrator
Courtney is originally from here in Metairie. She studied at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. She actually worked in the legal field for five years before getting involved in dentistry. Today, her favorite part of her job here at Nelson Dental Care is being able to help patients and work with them so closely.
Courtney is happily married to Dr. Nelson, and they have a cat named Lucy and a dog named Charlie together. Her hobbies outside of the practice include traveling, going to Saints games, and indoor cycling.
Sheryl, Dental Hygienist
Sheryl studied dental hygiene at the Louisiana State University School of Dentistry. Today, she has been working in this field for well over 25 years! She really enjoys getting to know her patients on a personal level and give them the clean, healthy, and happy smile they deserve.
A New Orleans native, Sheryl is the very proud mom of four grown children who are all LSU graduates. In her spare time away from work, she enjoys jogging, riding her cruiser bike, playing golf, traveling, and (of course) hanging out with the kids. She also just joined a book club.

Her love for dentistry grows more and more every day.

Brandi, Dental Assistant
Originally from Destrehan, Brandi studied at the Accelerated Dental Assisting Academy. Brandi recently completed her certification for EDDA, at LSU School of Dentistry. Today, what she enjoys most about her position is how positive everyone around her is, as well as the wonderful patients!

Suzanne, Dental Hygienist
Suzanne has an impressive 30 years of experience in the world of dentistry! She studied at Ursuline Academy and UNO/LSU. For her, interacting with each patient and teaching them how to improve their oral health is extremely satisfying.
Suzanne has two adult children, Collin and Hayden, as well as an English Golden Retriever. She loves using her time away from the office to hang out with friends and family, play tennis, ride her bike, go to the gym, and explore different types of exercise.
