Rhonda Solis
Practice Manager
Family – husband – Mike Solis, works for Phil’s Pro Auto in Greeley and we have a 27 year old son, Michael Garza and 24 year old daughter, Jordan Garza. We as a family have 5 fur babies, Sophie, Monster, Wiggles, Taz and Louie. I like to spend my free time with my family and doing community work. I am currently serving my second elected term on the Greeley/Evans school board. I also serve as a board member on the Success Foundation for District six and I have been a CASA (court appointed special advocate) for 6 years. I have been in dentistry for 29 years and enjoy working with patients. I started working for Dr. Nielson on January 31, 2018 and have loved getting to know the rest of the team and patients. I have been impressed with the skills of both assistants, Kaitlyn and Nicole and the hygienists, Ashlee and Alexa. The team has been so helpful and supportive to me as a new member. It’s a great office to work in and it’s an honor to work for a dentist that cares so much about patients. We have a wonderful team and I look forward to getting to know more patients and their families.
Kaitlyn Blomquist
Dental Assistant
I was born and raised in the Steamboat Springs area and moved to Greeley after graduating high school. I met my now husband Kiko shortly after moving here and got married in September of 2017. We have one son Louie, two dogs Leia and Lyra, and two cats Mittens and Thumbelina (she has an extra thumb), so it’s a pretty full house. In my spare time I like spending time with friends and family and having friends/family game nights. I also enjoy traveling and love going back home to Steamboat for a nice weekend getaway. I became a dental assistant in 2016 and started working at Northern Smiles Family Dental in January 2017. I have enjoyed working here and getting to know all of the patients and their families.
