Professional Life:

Dr. Amie Rockow-Nelson always dreamed of becoming a dentist and setting up a practice in Ames, Iowa, home of her beloved Cyclones. She graduated from Iowa State University in 1992 and then continued her studies at Creighton University Dental School. Since graduation from dental school in 1999, she has been working on her vision of creating an exceptional dental experience for her patients. Dr. Amie worked as a Resident in Dentistry at St. John's Mercy Medical Center in St Louis, Missouri for one year. Then in 2001, she began setting up her own private practice in Ames. In 2008, Dr. Amie, added more space to her operation, improving her ability to offer the best treatment and services possible. One of her greatest joys is the satisfaction of seeing her work improve the health, appearance, self-esteem, and quality of life enjoyed by those she serves.

After so many years of education, Dr. Amie is still contiinuing to improve her own technique as well as the skills and precision of her highly professional team members. She is a participant in the study of advanced dentistry techniques at the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies, where she pursues cutting edge training on aesthetic dentistry, posterior restoration, occlusion, neuromuscular dentistry, full mouth reconstruction, and smile designs. The program requirements are rigorous, detailed and time-consuming. Dr. Amie's commitment and love of dentisity ensures that her patients feel confidence, trust and personal gain in their treatment.

Personal Life:

Away from her practice, Dr. Amie enjoys spending time with her husband, Jeff, and her beautiful children, Riley and Gabriel. She also enjoys attending sporting events at Iowa State University (GO CYCLONES!!), scrapbooking special life moments, and decorating her home. Amie loves family time, travel, her wine club, and serving her community.
