When my dentist retired, I was apprehensive about finding a new provider. It seems like these days, practices are sales driven and not service driven. Who wants pressure to buy at the dentist, like a used car lot? I looked up Nielson Dentistry and the reviews. People said that there was no sales pressure, and they felt very comfortable. I could not agree more. I wish I could have them clean my teeth every day. I love going to the dentist. ..it's like a tooth massage! The staff is so friendly, and always remember you. Even though I go in just twice a year for cleanings, the staff is like family. If you are nervous about the dentist, give Dr. Nielson a try. His staff will put you at ease. So will the tv you can watch on the ceiling, on any channel that suits you. They are thorough, and I always feel great afterward. I would highly recommend Nielson Dentistry, and hope he's around for a long time! read more

At first, I was very pleased with Dr. Nielson's practice. His technicians are all very thorough and friendly. At the time I had only experienced Dr. Nielson through brief exams. In May of 2024 I came in for an exam due to cold sensitivity and intermittent sharp pain. Dr. Nielson performed a basic root canal cold test and did X-rays and said that I was likely grinding and clenching in my sleep from stress. Over the next 4-6 weeks I continued to have intermittent, now excruciating pain. Due to being told by dentist that it was not a tooth injury, I assumed that it was not a dental issue and explored pain management at my PCP. Around 5 weeks later, out of desperation, I returned to have another look. This time, Dr. Nielson said he could see a fracture with the naked eye. I begged him to extract it that day and he placed a bone graft. At this point I was frustrated that I had been told my pain was due to stress clenching when it was the beginning of a catastrophic dental injury. Due to financial constraints, I had not paid off my balance from the bone graft that Dr. Nielson had placed when several months later I came in for additional pain in another tooth. Dr. Nielson concluded that I needed a crown and he completed the work well, with skill, and a nice bed-side manner. At this point, despite feeling that my pain had been dismissed, I was still happy with Dr. Nielson's practice. In an unfortunate turn of events, we lost our dental insurance in between the crown preparation and the crown placement, so it was no longer covered, leaving us with a $1400 bill. Dr. Nielson said that he would not treat me until that balance had been paid off, citing the delay in paying for my bone graft in a timely manner. Being low income, I set up a monthly payment plan. Regardless of having money reliably debited from my account for 12 months, Dr. Nielson would not place a crown where my extraction had been (despite me being in a temporary healing cap for over a year), nor would he allow for covered cleanings. The moment my crown and bone graft had been paid off, the front office contacted me to schedule my crown for my extracted tooth. I hesitated, due to my experience and the distance of the practice to my home, but then I began to have intermittent pain under the tooth where Dr. Nielson had placed the crown. I made an emergency appointment. When Dr. Nielson came in he was clearly irritated and made it very apparent that he was not happy to see me. He rushed through a cold test and then told me, once again, that I was stress grinding at that he could see a fracture. He attempted to end the visit and I decided to advocate for myself this time: I said something like, "The last time you told me that it was stress grinding I had a crack from my crown to my root 6 weeks later and you had to extract it. Are you sure we don't need to do anything?" He brusquely told me to buy an over the counter mouth guard and left: Three days later, I received a letter from Dr. Nielson would no longer see me due to the deterioration of the patient-doctor relationship. I do acknowledge that it took me a year to pay off a procedure, but it strikes me as irresponsible to refuse to treat someone while they are, reliably, and good faith, making monthly payment with the clear disclosure that they are low income. I also feel that this an example of woman's pain being dismissed as "dramatic" or "anxiety/stressed based" when they could truly be catastrophic dental injuries. When I advocated for my own body, I was treated with rude detachment and released from the practice. Dr. Nielson is a skilled dentist and his hygienists are friendly and thorough. However, the dismissal of my pain and the ultimate ending of being released from their care upon advocating for my own body lead me to give this practice a negative review and I especially caution women that their pain may be minimized. read more

I have been going to Dr. Nielson's office for more than 20 years now and will never switch to another dentist. The staff has always been caring and accommodating. When I had braces done at Wing Orthodontics I loved that Dr. Nielson was always in communication with Dr. Wing directly so that we were all on the same page for my plan of care. Thank you Dr. Nielson, Monica and staff. You all are AMAZING!!!! -Angelica G. read more

Recently switched to Nielson Dentistry and so glad I did. Dr. Nielson is engaging, thorough and cares about the quality of his work. The hygienist Stacy showed her long time knowledge in the business and was also thorough. Monica the office manager also very efficient. I really appreciated the real sincerity everyone I came in contact with showed. It was not a fake, sweet sincerity. I really appreciated that. They were happy to have my business. read more

Long over due review. I have been coming here the last few years and they are exceptional. In and out quickly yet the visit is thorough. Every hygienist I have seen has been awesome, front desk is welcoming and friendly and Dr. Nielson is fantastic. Love the tv's as well :) Thank you! read more

Dr. Nielson and his staff are absolutely amazing. I have been going there for 15 years and even after moving out of state I travel 1400 miles to see him. You don't find honest, caring, gentle dental offices like theirs anywhere. They go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and fit you in their schedule. I've always hated going to the dentist but going to their office is a great experience! I'm so grateful for this office! read more

Just got home from my first visit with Dr. Nielson and if I could rate him higher than 5 stars I would! He was kind, gentle and not pushy. I need ALOT of work done and he gave me a clear plan that works for me. Brandi, his assistant was wonderful as well! She was knowledgeable and informing and made me feel right at home. I felt like I'd been a patient for years and after today I'm sure that I will be. Monica at the front desk is awesome as well. She's kind, professional and upbeat and accommodated my schedule with the first available appointment that worked for me. She's the first impression when you walk and the last when you leave and does a fantastic job at making you feel welcomed and at home. Don't hesitate or put off going to the dentist like I did.. for years. They'll take excellent care of you. Weird to say but I'm actually looking forward to seeing them again! read more

I brought my daughter and myself to find a new dentist in the area and i am thankful to have found this dentist office. The staff is friendly, the doctor is friendly and they definitely are looking to accommodate their clients! I will use them for my dental needs from here on out! My daughter is 11 and i was not sure they treated kids as well. But they do and she left without any fear or stress. read more

The best dental office in the east Valley! Dr. Neilson is fantastic and the entire office is the best!!

Dr. Nielson is very proficient and most importantly very kind. He is polite, calm, genuinely very nice, caring, careful and has excellent skill. Everyone who works there is super nice. They have never messed up the insurance either. Whether you are there for a checkup, a cleaning or dental work, you will have the best experience possible. I don't know anyone who likes getting a filling, but all my friends who go to Dr. Nielson agree that getting a filling there is about as good as getting a filling will ever get. Never been to an office where everyone so genuinely cares about their patients before. Good people. read more

First experience was good! Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Look forward to my next visit.

I don't like going to the dentist. The previous two dentists I visited were more interested in profits than patients, both claiming the need to fill non-existent cavities and one making me wait while he made his tee time. Because of my bad experiences my faith in dental care was shaken and I did not get the recommended cleanings and check ups for a couple of years. A friend recommended Nielson and I am glad he did. Alicia used skilled and gentle hands to clean my plaque covered teeth and Dr. Nielson addressed my issues in a very honest and professional manner. I actually look forward to returning. read more

Dr. Nielson and his staff, especially Amy, are outstanding. I hate going to the dentist and everything about it. I finally went this week, after 8 years, and it was a great experience. Monica at the front desk was so friendly and helpful. Amy, who scrubbed off 8 years of missed cleanings, made the time go by quickly and painlessly (and I didn't even have meds). Dr Nielson seems like a genuine person that loves what he does. Fortunately I didn't need to spend much time with him though. This is a great place, which coming from a true dentist hater, means a lot! Highly recommend this office. read more

Dr. NEILSON and he staff are fabulous. They not only do everything they can do make you feel comfortable but they don't try to get you to do a bunch of unnecessary stuff just to make more money. Dr. Neilson sat with me and explained everything clearly and he has actually been able to calm my terrible fe a rate of the dentist. I would highly recommend him to everyone. read more

I called a few minutes ago because I was recommended to Dr. Nielson by a coworker and before I could get the details out, I was cut off (by Monica) and told that new patients aren't being accepted. I guess that's a nice problem to have but not for me. Left my last place because they were rude too. Guess my search is back on. SMH read more

Previously I had the same dentist for 20-plus years unfortunately he passed away and I had to find someone else. After going to numerous dentist who tried to rob me because their faces were covered with masks I found this dentist. He is a great dentist he always takes time to answer your questions and will never try to charge you or fix things when there isn't something to be fixed. His staff is great his time is flexible and accommodating. I have referred numerous friends and family members to doctor Nielson and will continue to do so. read more

Dr. Nielson and his entire staff are wonderful. They are very courteous and friendly and will do their best when you have to be there. I've been seeing Dr. Nielson for several years now and prefer no other dentist or office staff. I found his office when looking for a new dentist a few years ago and realized his office was within a quarter mile of my home at the time and I really needed to see a new dentist. Even since moving farther away, I continue choose to see Dr. Nielson as the care and treatment and service is superb. read more

New to the area, was referred by a neighbor. Had an excellent experience at Dr. Nielson's office. Expert, friendly care, great staff. I have found my new dentist and heartily recommend him to anyone looking for quality dental care. read more

Dr. Nielson was the closest dentist to my house so I figured I'd stop in and give them a try after moving back to AZ. I had some mixed experiences with dentists in other states so I was expecting to have to go to a few dentists before I found one that offered good, comfortable service with good prices. Thankfully Dr. Nielson's practice won me over from the first visit. Comfortable waiting room with very short waits. The office staff was very friendly and helpful in dealing with insurance and keeping me appraised of costs and scheduling. I was very satisfied with the cleanings and the fillings I've had done there. Very pleasant experiences thus far, which is really something considering it's a dentist for crying out loud. I would recommend them to anyone who asked. read more

Dr. Nielson himself is a wonderful doctor and his services are great! But his front desk person Monica is the most rude, nasty, passive aggressive person I've ever encountered. Today was the straw that broke the camels back. She loudly harassed and attempted to embarrass me about a payment that I'm not able to make at the moment. If she cared enough to ask why I was behind I would've explained that I am the only one working in my household since July and my family is living off of one income for the time being. But I'm sure she could careless, she was too preoccupied with threatening to add the $268 onto my credit for collections and yelling that it was so old and Dr. Nielson would question her about payments not being made. She wanted to pick at me today and it was obvious, she even went on to yell as I was leaving out "I'll be hearing from you next month"! in regards to making a payment. I've seen her be rude to multiple people but I've had enough she went way too far and she honestly owes me an apology. read more

So happy with my experience with Nielson Dentistry. Very professional and friendly staff. I am new to the area and after a horrible experience with a high pressure sales oriented dental office, we found Nielson Dentistry and we couldn't have been happier with the service we received. He addressed the issue at hand and I never felt pressured into anything i didn't need. Dr. Nielson was so friendly and we have scheduled our next visit. I would highly recommend this practice read more

Went to Dr. Nielson for a crown. Against advisement of American Dental Association, Dr. Nielson put me completely under for an hour and a half using Nitrous Oxide. The ADA states Nitrous Oxide should be given only to calm patient while still being aware. When I asked to speak to Dr. Nielson the next day he refused to come to the phone. Monica (receptionist) stated he was very busy and wanted to know what the problem was, When I asked to talk to the Doctor, Dr. Nielson never came to the phone. oh, ohhhhh Monica later told me Dr. Nielson told her we talked during the procedure. I stated that was untrue. Dr. Nielson never contacted me. read more

If your looking for a solid dentist office, then look no further. Eric is professional with just the right mix of persona. His support staff know their jobs well and their is practically NO turnover. That speaks volumes itself. We started going to his office over 10 yrs. ago and look forward to another ten. I was even able to contact him on a weekend after hours when I had a dental "emergency". I would highly recommend him and his office. Go and youll see, I guarantee it. read more

I find him to be considerate and pleasant. Great office staff also. No pressure to have more work done than necessary.

I've been a patient for years. Dr Nielson and his staff are wonderful! They are always on time, friendly, caring and provide excellent service. The office is comfortable, very clean and convenient. read more

Our family have been patients of Dr Nielson for the last 8 years and we would not move anywhere else. From our fidgety preschooler (at the time) to a nervous hubby, Dr Nielson knows how to put everyone at ease and deals with each one of us with a tender hand. He is great to make himself available for emergencies. The office/dental staff are awesome too, so friendly and helpful! I recommend his practice to everyone looking for a new dentist! read more

Just made Dr. Nielson our new family dentist!! Everyone was so friendly and after being told I needed two crowns and two inlays from a different dentist, I walked away from Dr. Nielson with two fillings!!! Love him and his staff!! That you for being so awesome!! read more

My entire family have seen Dr Nielson. He is the most amazing dentist I have ever been to. After many unhappy visits with other dentists, I am finally glad to have a dentist I feel I can trust. He does not try to push expensive unnecessary treatments. He is very realistic and willing to work with his patients. I had a very bad night last night with a tooth that has been causing me pain. I was up almost all night in pain and knew I had to work all day. I called at 8:00am and was asked if I could come right then. I explained I had to be at work within an hour. Monica told me to come in and they would get me in immediately and get me to work on time. I was in and out in 20 minutes. I ended up needing an extraction and because of my new job I did not want to miss any work. I could not believe it but Dr. Nielson said he would come in early tomorrow so I could get to work on time. This is an amazing office. They truly care about the patient and will go out of their way to help. I can not say enough about their kindness. read more
