Lovely office, and friendly staff. I actually enjoy going to the dentist!
Bre is the best hygienists in west Michigan by far. Dr Nelis always has my best interests at heart when recommending any treatments that do not affect my pocket book thanks to the brand new “new membership plan” that is exclusively offered to only patients of Nelis Dentistry. The staff is incredible from front to back. The quality of craftsmanship that the staff and Dr. Nelis have are impeccable. Would highly recommend to anyone. Plus if you have any symptoms of sleep apnea, this is the place to get yourself checked out.
They are super nice, great communication and friendly people. I like the atmosphere and they are all super nice.
Kind, welcoming, and always so on top of everything when it comes to my dental care. They are great with communication as well. Highly recommend this dentistry!
Had my first cleaning today and the experience was outstanding. From the 360 xray, standard xray, to the actual cleaning everyone involved was very professional and efficient. I actually came back the same day to repair a chipped tooth and that experience was just as good. The short term crown looked just like my original tooth. Im sure the actual crown will look just as good. I have nothing but positive things to say about Dr. Nelis and his team. Well done!!!
