Meet Dr. Brenda Mittelsteadt at Koala® Center For Sleep & TMJ Disorders Wausau, WI

Brenda Mittelsteadt

Brenda Mittelsteadt has been a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner for over 23 years. Her background is diversified, as she has specialized in emergency medicine, acute/urgent care, general and vascular surgery (specializing in bariatric and varicose veins), occupational health, and family practice. She completed her Bachelor and Master of Science degrees at the University of Wisconsin, Eau Claire. She holds national board certification with the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) and also holds a Driver of Transportation (DOT) certification.

She delivers personalized, high-quality patient care with compassion and an emphasis on educating the patient while building a therapeutic relationship built on trust and evidence-based practice. Her philosophy on care is patient-centered, using a team approach, and she thrives on helping people navigate through their health concerns towards health promotion and maintenance. She believes her success as a nurse practitioner requires her to have continual dedication to help impact and improve the lives of her patients through a lifelong pursuit of knowledge and personal growth. As she has experienced the impact of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) in patients through primary care, she has recently switched her interest to focusing on helping these patients.

In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her family and friends, vacationing, being outdoors, and watching her son play hockey.
