Like many of us, dentist offices are not our favorite places to be! I’ve had some dental work done by Dr. Nelis and he and his staff were exceptionally kind, knowledgeable, and very professional. I highly recommend them! They made me feel very safe and comfortable.
Dr. Nelis and Dr. Racine are both incredible dentists and their hygienist & secretaries are professional and understanding. I used to cry just making dentist appointments, now I can get through most procedures tear free, thanks to this team of amazing people.
Great staff, very friendly and professional at the same time. Our whole family has gone here for years and we always feel comfortable and cared for.
This is a fantastic office with a wonderful staff and Doctor. This local, professional, well equipped modern office, keeps me from driving to GR or anywhere else. It really is a treasure right in our own back yard. They explain everything and are never shy about explaining their procedures and exactly what your costs will be when finished. I’m totally impressed.
