Get to Know Dr. Chelsea Anderson
Dr. Anderson officially joined our dental practice in 2018, although as the daughter of Dr. Michele Jasper, she has been around dentistry all of her life. Her favorite part of her job as a Fort Mill dentist is getting to know each patient and their families on a personal basis. She loves getting to make your smile dreams a reality, while making her patients healthier and more confident!
Why Did You Decide to Become a Dentist?
Growing up, it always stuck out to Dr. Anderson just how much her mom loved her job. She says that Dr. Jasper seemingly laughed the whole day and was truly passionate about her work. When it was time to choose a career, Dr. Anderson wanted a job that was a mix of helping people, working with her hands, and owning her own business…so dentistry was the perfect fit!

Outside of the Dental Office, What Do You Like to Do?
Dr. Anderson was born and raised in Fort Mill and loves living in her hometown with her husband Ed, who is an attorney in Rock Hill. The two of them are avid sports fans… college football, NFL, MLB, you name it, they watch it! They have two beautiful sons, George and Henry, and the fluffiest labradoodle named Cooper. When she does have free time, Dr. Anderson loves true crime podcasts and likes to keep her hands busy with crafty projects like needlepointing and party planning.
