Dr. Alisa M. Nelson-Wade is a native of Eatonton, Georgia. She attended Georgia College where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry in 1994. Dr. Nelson received her Doctorate of Dental Surgery(DDS) from Meharry Medical College in 1998, where she graduated with honors. She then went on to complete a General Practice Residency in 1999.

Because of her love of dentistry and commitment to training others, Dr. Nelson was invited to serve as an associate professor in the Department of Periodontics and Oral Diagnosis at Meharry. She maintained her position for two years, and during that time she was promoted to Clinical Course Coordinator.

Missing her ties to her Georgia "roots", Dr. Nelson decided to move home where she jump-started her career with an associateship in Corporate Dentistry. Desiring a more personal atmosphere, Dr. Nelson opened her own Private Practice in 2002. Since that time Dr. Nelson has enjoyed interacting with her patients from all over the metro-Atlanta area.

Over the course of her career, Dr. Nelson has received many honors and awards. She is a member of many dental organizations, including the ADA and the AGD. She enjoys reading, studying the bible, cooking, shopping with her girlfriends and spending time with her husband and two children.
