During their two years up north, Dr. Hermsen completed an AEGD (advanced Education in General Dentistry) residency at the University of Minnesota and then worked as a general dentist in a group practice in the suburb of Golden Valley. Dr. Hermsen and his wife returned to Omaha in 2004 to be close to family and in hopes of starting a family. After working for two more years as a general dentist in Missouri valley, Iowa, Dr. Hermsen began his postgraduate endodontic training at the UNMC College of Dentistry in Lincoln, which he completed in 2008.
