Frances Cameli,
Dental Sleep Medicine Program Manager, CDA

Frances Cameli has been a certified Dental Assistant since 1991. Her dental training includes X-ray certification, expanded functions, CPR, and countless continuing education courses.

In 2010, Frances was chosen by Dr. Nelson to spearhead the Dental Sleep Medicine branch of the dental office as its first Program Manager. Frances’s exceptional understanding of dental and medical aspects of the dental sleep medicine office, as well as her unique compassion for patients, has been pivotal in the success of the program and eventual transition to a dedicated full-time dental sleep medicine office. Anyone that knows her would tell you that Frances has never met a stranger. Frances brings that passion with her every day and will make it her mission to understand your individual needs in order to set you on a path to a better night’s sleep.

Frances and her husband were high school sweethearts and made Florida their home after he retired from the Air Force. Frances has two adult sons and a new daughter-in-law. Together their family loves to travel, attend concerts and sports, and volunteer in their church.
