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.

Great Dental Care
Always a great experience at Nelson Ridge. Very efficient at scheduling appointments, appointments run on time (no long waits in the waiting area) and the staff could not be nicer. Highly recommended

Happy
Staff is professional and happy. Work well together. Always concerned about my comfort, remembering every time I come that I’m sensitive to water spray. No clutter either, really clean and TV on the ceiling!

Best dentist in my opinion
Everyone in this office is very nice and friendly. The hygienist does a good job on my cleaning every time. Very professional and knowledgeable with questions I have concerning my teeth. I’m highly satisfied with the drs as well. I choose this office because my original dentist retired. I’ve already recommended this office to friends and family

Wow
I have not one bad thing to say about this office. The front desk staff greets and treats you like a friend. My hygienist Krysta was gentle, knowledgeable and so easy to talk to. All nerves gone! Dentist was quick, to the point and explained everything going on. I could not have had a smoother visit. I won’t be going anywhere else!

This was our first visit to Nelson Ridge Dental after our dentist retired. Our hygienists were gentle, which we appreciated. The staff and Dr. Steve put us at ease. They are professional and discussed our X-rays and allowed time for questions. The waiting room was spacious. The appointment was on time. My wife and I recommend this group to anyone looking for dental care.

Dr. Etchison's Reply –
Thank you for the lovely review!
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Etchison?
Today was the first time seeing Dr Etchison. This was an emergency visit for a dental concern I had. Gaby (dental assistant) was warm, welcoming, thorough and made sure everything was sanitary. The Dr was equally warm, welcoming and he was able to carefully and patiently explain what was going on. He was gentle and I felt no pain. I recently moved to Nee Lenox and I am very grateful to have found such a great dental practice.
