| "I have never had anything but excellent experiences with Nelson Family Dental since I started coming about 5 years ago. The front desk staff are always welcoming and super helpful. Specifically I would like to call out Ashley who has been my dental hygienist for my last 2 visits. I am 62 years old and have had dozens of hygienists over the years. Ashley is absolutely the best one I have ever experienced!!! Her technique is top notch and to go along with that she is very personable, provides excellent, compassionate care and has a great sense of humor. You guys truly make going to the dentist something that I look forward to every 6 months. Keep up the great work!!! You guys are very much appreciated!!" (5 stars) |

Dr. Nelson and his team have a warm, welcoming attitude that immediately put me at ease. While the experience was easy-going, I felt a genuine sense of ownership over my treatment. Dr. Nelson was frank in his assessments, answered my questions thoroughly, and made sure I understood the overall procedure. Throughout my procedure I noticed the team's dedication in delivering quality dental care which often translated into spending a few extra minutes on a task to get things "just right". The office is modern and clean, and offers some nice views of the adjacent golf course." (5 stars) |

I’ll be visiting him as long as he practices." (5 stars) |
"I have complete trust in Dr. Nelson. He has done dental work on myself and fixed issues that multiple other dentists had tried and failed at. Most recently, I brought my two youngest children in for an appointment. He's amazing with kids, and they were completely comfortable. He found a couple issues with their teeth. Instead of trying to take the work, he gladly referred me on to pediatric specialists. He is very trustworthy, and is definitely in the business for the right reasons!" (5 stars) |

They don't push a bunch of unnecessary procedures on you (my previous dentist office tried to make every patient obtain a "Hollywood" smile with braces they didn't really need and whitening procedures etc.).

The hygienists are all very nice." (4 stars) |

"I just moved to the area and found this dentist after not going to the dentist in about 5 years. As a personal note, I’ve had some bad dentists in the past who either didn’t do a good job of catching problems or would outright lie to try to sell me stuff I don’t need. However, the staff at Nelson Family Dental made me feel welcome, and they did a good job. I feel they were honest, thorough, not pushy at all, and they didn’t try to sell me anything. Dr. Nelson seems like a good guy who recently bought this practice after getting out of the military. If you are looking for a good dentist and like supporting our amazing veterans, I recommend checking out Nelson Family Dental." (5 stars) |
"I had my first appointment at Nelson Family Dental this week and was pleasantly surprised by such a positive experience. The staff all seemed very friendly and personable. My hygienist was thorough and gentle in doing my cleaning. Dr. Nelson was very friendly and relaxed- he listened to a concern of mine and gave me honest and professional feedback without pushing anything on me. My last dentist made me feel as though I would have been told anything to secure a costly procedure- not so with Dr. Nelson. I’m glad to be receiving dental care again in a friendly, family practice." (5 stars) |
