My son, who is autistic and terrified of dentists, needed to have 3 teeth removed. The entire staff went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and calm before the procedure. They made the entire experience very easy to go through, which as a mother I truly appreciate. I highly recommend!!!

I had the best experience possible with my oral surgery today. Dr Nesslein was amazing to work with- reassuring and calming. It was easy to trust him. It's a doctor who takes his profession as a vocation. I am glad I found his clinic. Lorraine, his assistant, and also the front desk lady (didn't get her name), are outstanding. They are all gentle and open and they connect with you on a human level. Respectful and kind.
I just know I am going to heal and recover well. I am so grateful I went here for this very emotionally loaded procedure.
Thank you Dr. Nesslein and team!

Dr Nesslein and his entire crew were probably some of the nicest people in the dentistry business that I've dealt with. They were GENUINE. The procedure went quickly, but not before he explained the process thoroughly and made sure I knew exactly what was about to happen. I also learned that #1 cause of dry socket is nicotine in the blood stream. #2 is high bone density. I don't smoke, but, unfortunately, I couldn't help the #2 and I was able to come back in to get some packing that really added relief to my pain. This is a great place to have your wisdom teeth out especially if you have been putting it off due to fears. They really take care of you, above and beyond regular care.

Doctor Nesslein and his team are wonderful. I was able to get an appointment easily and quickly after the referral from my local dentist. The receptionists I spoke to both on the phone and in person were very kind and helpful. Dr. Nesslein and his assistant Tiona were both great during my procedure. They answered all of my questions, really calmed my nerves about having the procedure done and before I knew it, I was in the recovery room about to head home. After surgery, Dr. Nesslein came to let me know things went and gave my fiancé all the aftercare instructions and answered all of his questions as well, especially taking the time to break down when we needed to stop along our 1.5 your drive back home to remove gauze, take medicine, etc. A few hours after I got home, Dr. Nesslein called me to get an update on how I was feeling and went back over the aftercare instructions now that I was more lucid. He was so patient, kind and attentive throughout all of our interactions and it really put me at ease. I am so grateful I was referred to this office for my care. I highly recommend their office!

I feel Dr Nelson did a spectacular job. My 15 year old just had to have all 4 of her wisdom teeth extracted on Friday and we were in and out of there in 1 hour and 15 minutes. All of the staff seemed very friendly, the nurse even made sure I got her to the car and that we were all good to go. The Dr had called before the office had closed for the day to check and see how she was doing/feeling. She is healing great and there doesn't seem to be any known issues. I would definitely recommend this office to friends and family.
