Chase Nelson, D.O., specializes in ear, nose and throat (ENT) at Utica Park Clinic. His professional areas of interest include head and neck surgery, and facial plastic surgery.

“I love to work with my hands; hence, I chose a surgical specialty. I love the surgical procedures performed in ENT and the intricate anatomy involved,” he added.

Dr. Nelson decided to become a doctor because he felt that helping people improve their health and helping them through illness and injury would be the most valuable, satisfying and rewarding work he could do in his day-to-day life.

When working with his patients, he said, “I provide adequate time to discuss their problems during their appointments. That time is spent not only discussing the issue at hand but in getting to know them as people.”

Dr. Nelson likes to remind everyone that healthy daily habits are the best medicine.

Outside of work, Dr. Nelson enjoys activities such as boating and water sports in the summer, snow skiing in the winter and hunting in the fall. He also enjoys spending time with his family watching movies and enjoying the outdoors.
