Kevin M.
I had braces before I came to Dr. Nelson for 5 years and I still had a cross-bite and my teeth weren’t completely straight. I always felt scared to get braces again but I put my trust in... Dr. Nelson and he fixed my bite and teeth. I’m so happy with them! Everyone always makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in the door. I would recommend Dr. Nelson and his team to anyone! :)read more

Joseph C.
It was an awesome experience. Same day for my braces and Angelina and Makenna made my experience comfortable with their great customer service.
Etimani T.
I got my aligners on today, and I was a bit anxious before hand. Anahi was the sweet lady that did the procedure. She was so patient and asked how I was doing throughout the process. It... definitely made me feel reassured I was in good hands and it didn’t take long at all. I’ve been very pleased with the the staff at this office. Always warm and welcoming and patient which is huge for me. Thank you and can’t wait to see my new smile soon! :) - Maria O.read more
