Get to know Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon Dr. Steven R. Evelhoch, who serves patients in Marshfield, Wisconsin.

A highly trained oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Dr. Evelhoch treats diseases, injuries, and defects in the hard and soft tissues of the head, neck, face and jaw at Marshfield Medical Center in Marshfield, Wisconsin. He performs orthognathic jaw surgery, cosmetic, reconstructive, and trauma surgeries to improve the appearance of these areas.

Enjoying working with people of all ages, he wants to treat his patients like a person and not like a number. “I think that patients need to be able to make decisions in their care and we need to guide them in those decisions. I want to have a good relationship with my patients” he said. 

Serving in the Navy, Dr. Evelhoch had two deployments where he provided surgical care. “Serving other people is the best thing you can do in life. Many members of my family served during WWII, so serving in the Navy was very important to me” he noted. He uses this servant attitude to provide the best experience possible for his patients. 

Graduating with his Bachelor of Science degree from Creighton University in 1980, he went on to earn his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the Creighton University School of Dentistry in 1984. Years later, in 1999, he obtained his medical degree from the Creighton University School of Medicine.

He also holds a Master of Business Administration degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Master’s degree in Healthcare Management from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee.
