Nelsen Family Dentistry is the best! It really does feel like a family when you visit. I have, consistently, been treated with respect and compassion. Every employee I’ve encountered, from the front desk to Dr. John himself, has been extremely pleasant and professional. I highly recommend!

The best experience I've ever had with a Dental office! The staff was incredibly friendly and kind. They went above and beyond what I could have imagined. Madeline was very sweet and attentive to my needs throughout the procedure, Dr John has a great "chair side" manner and very communicative during the entire process, and the staff went out of their way to acknowledge me and expressed concern for my comfort. I would highly recommend them for all your dental needs! Very grateful I was referred to this office!

Nelson Family Dentistry is a topnotch practice. Dr. Tommy has done a wonderful job taking care of my dental needs. He even did three fillings for the price of two! I would definitely recommend this practice!

I recently had a terrible experience at another dentist. I was able to get in to be seen by Nelsen Family Dentistry. My experience here was amazing! They are compassionate and help you to really understand what’s going on with your teeth. Mel, my dentist Tommy Farris and honestly, the whole team was great!

Dr. John has provided the best dental care I have ever received (and I have a mouthful of crowns, root canals and fillings!) He provides an experience that is both comfortable and state of the art. My last visit involved a tooth extraction which tends to inspire dread in most people. It was so unremarkable - no pain at all for me, just the successful removal of a badly infected tooth! Thank you!!
