Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

With a fear of the dentist and needles, Dr. Nelson did an amazing job with my crown. I was in alot of pain when I went to see Dr Nelson due to procrastinating, hoping the pain would just go away. He kept me calm and thoughly spoke about what he was doing. Would highly recommend!

Dr Nelson has been our family dentist for several years. Time and again he has proven himself to be a kind and caring dentist who does excellent work. His staff is wonderful and I enjoy the atmosphere in the office. We first became aware of him through our church, as Dr Nelson travels on short term mission trips to care for the dental needs of the poor. A good dentist with a good heart. Can't recommend him enough.

He is very thorough and great at explaining things. He presented me with a couple of treatment options for my particular situation in a very unbiased manner...I never felt like he was suggesting something just to make money off me.

I would recommend friends and family because Dr. Nelson is a caring and excellent doctor. I trust the information he gives me and when I leave I always feel so much better because of his treatment and patience.My whole family feels the same way. None of us like going to the dentist but we go because we know Dr. Nelson will give us sound advice and he cares about each of us. He is always pleasant and happy, you cannot beat that!!!

Dr. Nelson is awesome. He is a great dentist. I also love his dental hygienist named Denise. She is very good at her job and is patient with people like me that have very sensitive mouths. They are always on time.

I have been going to Dr. Nelson for many years. He understands my fear of dentists, knows I am a big baby about seeing him and takes his time to thoroughly explain what needs to be done. He takes the time to listen to me explain my dental issues. Most importantly, he does not pad fees like some dentists do. He is extremely patient, friendly and overall awesome.

Dr. Nelson is very caring, and personable. He explains everything in an understandable manner, and I am very happy to have him as my Dentist. He never rushes through his exam and always takes his time to answer any questions or to explain any procedure that might be necessary. I trust his advice.

Dr. Nelson has been my dentist for almost 10 years. He has a great bedside manner, is easy to understand, is quick to respond to any urgent issues and I never EVER felt like he is pushing any service on me that I didn't need. He is the dentist I trust.
