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.

Happy Camper

After the Camp Wildfire, my dentist took his family and headed to Oregon. I had a couple appointments with the “replacement” dentist, but I didn’t like her one bit. Nelson Family Dentistry was recommended by a friend. I can’t adequately express in words how pleased I am with Dr. James. My teeth are a wreck and he not only provided the most thorough dental exam I have ever had, but he and his assistants were so thoughtful, professional, and kind. Even though we have just met, I highly recommend this dental practice.

Our family have been patients of Nelsen Dentistry for 20 years. We love all the staff and dentists! If you are looking for a Dentist who will hug you when he sees you around town and ask how the family is doing, this is the place for you. But If you don’t like being treated like family, don’t choose this practice!!

My left molar chipped and broke off on a Friday. Was able to get an appointment early Tuesday morning with Dr. Missy and Shawna. Extremely professional, caring and compassionate. Procedure was explained step by step and ensured my comfort the entire time. They worked side by side with respect for each other and anticipated each other's needs. I love that Dr. Missy had to "loving how this turned out" before we can move on. She absolutely loves what she does and genuinely cares. The practice atmosphere and environment was calm, genuinely friendly and caring from all the staff. Highly recommend Nelsen's family dentistry.

I’ve been coming here over ten years now. Always delighted to have my teeth cleaned by Nikki and Chrissy. Exams are pleasant. I’m elated with the work I’ve had done on my teeth. They’re prone to chipping and crumbling, so I need caps a lot. Missy and John do an excellent job. My teeth look back to new every time I leave. Definitely my forever Dentist office.

Dr. John is easily the best dentist that I've ever had. He is not only exceptionally skilled but is very personable too. Nelsen Dentistry is clearly a very well run business. All of the staff from the people at the front desk through the team of excellent hygienists is very good. Everyone seems to be quite happy in their jobs.

My first visit with Nelsen Dentistry last week was with Tommy. From my initial xrays, cleaning, new crown and fixing of two cavities , I could not be more pleased!! It was the BEST dental care I have experienced in my 71 years. Tommy and your support staff were consummate professionals. Thank you so much!!!!
