Lovely office, and friendly staff. I actually enjoy going to the dentist!
Having moved around most of my adult life, this is the longest period I have had the same dentist since my childhood. Dr. Nelis is simply the best dentist I've had in my adult years. Very caring and able to explain things in an easy to understand way. Very personable. His care he provides extends to his staff as well, he has done a great job selecting the care team.
Love this office! I have a large amount of medical issues that impact my teeth and the team has helped me through every step of this journey. Thanks Eliza for a great cleaning today
Amazing staff, very knowledgeable and kind! I drive 1 hour to go here. Highly recommend! And shout out to Eliza for a great job.
The whole office is incredibly kind! I have never had a bad experience with exams and cleanings. Last appointment I had Eliza do my cleaning and she was fantastic. I will be a lifelong patient!
