"Opening this practice from scratch has allowed me to build a comfortable, friendly, and technologically advanced practice. By utilizing computer-based charting and digital radiography, minimal environmental impact and maximum patient comfort is the norm." |

Dr. H. Nicholas Bretl, DDS
EDUCATION:
Graduated Cum Laude in 1996 with double major in Mathematics and Chemistry from Loyola University-Chicago on an athletic scholarship (golf).
Graduated top ten in his class with a Doctor of Dental Surgery in 2001 from Marquette University School of Dentistry.
After working four years in the Milwaukee Metro area, Dr. Bretl, who grew up in Antigo, longed for the Northwoods, and realized that 'home' was where he wanted to live and practice. After three years practicing in Edgar, he decided to open his own practice in Weston. However, he still stays involved in the community with the annual Dr. H. Nicholas Bretl Scholarship for Edgar graduating seniors who will be studying a health related career in college.
Dr. Bretl's philosophy of practice is patient based - no decision is made on any treatment without complete understanding and agreement by the patient.
Dr. Bretl now lives in Schofield with his wife Robyn. He enjoys golf, travel, skiing, and is a musician, playing drums in several bands in the area.
