| D. Andrew Kelson DDS |
| Dr. Kelson grew up in Portland, Oregon. He decided the sunshine and mountains of the Colorado Front Range were enticing as a place to call home and Longmont was a city he could start a practice making a positive impact on the community. Prior to that, he studied Business Information Systems at Brigham Young University and then moved to Ohio to earn his dental degree at The Ohio State University. He graduated cum laude while working with two faculty members on dental research projects. He then finished an Advanced Education in General Dentistry at the University of Michigan where he gained significant experience while applying comprehensive care to complex cases. He enjoys riding his road bike, hiking, water skiing, snow skiing, college football, reading, computers, and is a self-proclaimed nerd. He was recently married to his wife Wendy in March 2009. |
