Edward J. Nelson, DMD

Dental care is very good, they explain everything, don't do unnecessary procedures and are willing to change their prognosis if they realize their initial assessment was off. but it's very very busy. Some nurses are better than others, more knowledgeable and with better bedside manners especially with kids. So you may want to schedule ahead of time or wait longer to get the nurse your kid is most comfortable with.

What a lovely experience! New to the area and had such a positive appointment for the three children. All 3 at the same time for convenience. Dr. Nelson was so knowledgeable and genuinely only recommended necessary testing, which they helped check for coverage first. The staff were all super friendly and so kind to the kids. You can tell they truly love working with children. Highly recommend!

Our kids have gone to Dr. Nelson for 10 years. He is a great dentist with years of experience and always exams them closely after a cleaning, then explains any issues clearly to us. Our kids have special needs. The staff is great, accommodating to their needs, kind, and our kids have no dental fears as a result. Our daughter who has cerebral palsy needed a special device due to her teeth being too crowded. Even though she pulled it out several times, Dr. Nelson saw her back quickly and got it re-installed and adapted it so that she would tolerate it better. We sometimes have to wait when we get to the office, but usually no more than 10-20 minutes - this is no different than any other doctor's office I have ever been to.

Dr. Nelson and his team are caring, skilled professionals! They are thorough and they explain exactly what’s going on with each patient. This takes time. My children have seen him since they were 2 and will continue. This was validated by seeing a different dentist last year (due to insurance changes). That visit was faster but they wouldn’t let me sit with the kids and the dentist never talked to me. Instead I received a paper with a recommendation to pull teeth (for both kids) and fillings for cavities in baby-teeth (?!) with a requirement to pay half in that moment. I couldn’t ask questions or get an explanation. But it was a fast appointment. I paid out of pocket to have Dr. Nelson complete a second opinion and uncovered NONE of that work was necessary. He showed me the X-rays and hel

Dr. Nelson is wonderful! He is such a kind man and explains everything in detail. We drive 30 minutes to him because we value his experience. My girls have both gone to him since they had teeth and it was hard for the oldest to leave once she finished college. They have been hit by covid problems like everyone else but his staff is great. A plus is that he does braces too so we didn’t have to go to the orthodontist “factory” that’s near us. Would highly recommend!!
