This is my first yelp review. I had to come to write a review with how great my experience was. I highly recommend Dr. Nelson and his staff! Not only was everyone very welcoming and friendly, but this doctor was gentle, and thorough. I appreciate a doctor who takes time and doesn’t just view a patient like a number. The environment is very calm, and happy! This doctor’s office will ease your stress if you are someone who is nervous initially going in. Great job everyone at Bruce Nelson dentistry! Its really hard to find quality like that these days!

I recently had some work done at Dr. Nelsons office and I am thrilled with the results. My 2 front teeth had each cracked up the center, nearly from top to bottom. Dr. Nelson recommended veneers and I was a bit apprehensive. So many people I knew have had them and ended up looking like rabbits or simply looked so different that I barely recognized them. After months of muling it over I decided to go ahead and have the front 4 done. Like I said, I am thrilled! They look exactly like my own teeth, sans cracks. My own family, who have no problem being brutally honest, have said they wouldn’t have know had I not told them. And on a side note, the office staff is delightful! 🙂

Dr. Nelson was amazing! I had a broken front tooth (like really embarrassingly bad) and he was able to get me in same day to fix it. The woman who doesn’t usually work the front desk but stood in was so sweet and helpful! My tooth looks like new! I went from being semi toothless to fully toothed all within in 2 hours! I give this place and the staff a 10/10! Would recommend.

I had such a warm and comfortable experience from Bruce and all of his staff. EVERYONE here is genuine and seem to actually care about you! I’ve been here 3 times in less than 2 weeks, and I won’t go anywhere else now! Very happy with the results!!!!!! Excellent work. Excellent care. HIGHLY recommended. And no I was not paid to write such a great review! Lol. My experience was just that great.

I highly recommend Dr. Bruce Nelson as a dentist. He is knowledgable and gentle. I had a infection in my gums that required surgery and 10 needles in my mouth to freeze the area! Dr. Nelson was extremely gentle and saved my gums from an infection I didn’t know I had.
The rest of the staff are very friendly and helpful.

I love this whole office.  It’s warm and welcoming in a very genuine way.  Dr. Nelson is low-keyed and knows his stuff.  And Wendy is by far the best hygienist ever.  I recently moved to central Phoenix and actually tried several other dental offices in the area which I will not name.  I’m no longer looking.

Dr. Bruce came highly recommended. I live in Chandler and will gladly make the 45 minute drive to see him. I hadn’t been to the dentist in so long and was extremely nervous. From the moment I walked in Paula, who runs the front office, made me feel so comfortable. Krystal was so good at explaining everything she’s doing to prep me for Dr. Bruce. I was in pain for 2 weeks and after leaving Dr. Bruce, I felt a million times better. Wendy cleaned my teeth afterwards. The whole office is so nice and professional. If you’re looking for a dentist go here. You’ll be so glad you did.

Best dentist I’ve ever been to!! I love the entire team!! Paula is super friendly and welcoming at the front desk!! Wendy is awesome and always take care of my cleaning with the utmost quality and care, even when I fall asleep in the chair!! And Dr Bruce himself is awesome and fast yet careful. I would recommend Bruce L. Nelson DDS to anyone and everyone!!

Great knowledge and technique.  I am 67 and my history with dentistry has not been very positive! That is till I started seen Dr. Nelson and his team.  He and his staff are always very courteous and helpful.  But what sets them apart for me is their skills!!!  Starting with office and clerical. From handling insurance to setting up next visits it is alway flawless.  Cleanings, it is hard to overstate her skill and touch but since people travel from other cities and even countries to see her, world class is not an exaggeration.  Then Dr. Nelson, he is alway at the forefront for knowledge and technique.  His attention to using the best anesthetics to having the a very gentle touch that  keeps me ohh so happy!  I do not live in the Phoenix area, but travel here every winter and alway make sure I can get in! Do you have a fear of dentistry?  Just try them and see if you think this review is over the top!

Wendy is amazing. Very gentle and professional. Does not hurt at all. AMAZING!!! Paula who is the front desk lady is just as Amazing. Always warm and friendly. Spot on getting any insurance papers to scheduling your next visit. Always willing to accommodate you. Always getting in touch if an earlier appointment comes available. Dr Nelson is very kind and thorough. He too is amazing. Very professional and knowledgeable in your dental care. Since moving to AZ in 2008 my husband and myself read reviews about Dr Nelson’s practice and tried them out. It’s 2018 and we are still having his team care for us. Try them….you won’t regret it!!!!

When I moved to central Phoenix not long ago, the search for a dentist was on. I stumbled upon a couple positive reviews for Dr. Nelson, scheduled an appointment, and that was that! I had found my new dentist! Dr. Nelson was friendly, gentle, and knowledgeable. Really knows his stuff. That said, most of my time there has been spent with their hygienist Wendy. She is FANTASTIC. I’ve seen many different dentists/hygienists over the years as my career has forced me to move all around the country, and without a doubt, Wendy is by far my favorite. For example, I was told I needed a procedure done and it needed to be done soon. This procedure is one of Wendy’s specialties but unfortunately she was booked up for weeks. She was informed of my urgent situation, and she ended up volunteering to come in a couple of hours early just so she could fit me in. Is that a great hygienist or what? Last but certainly not least, every time you walk through the door of Dr. Nelson’s office, it’s a safe bet you’ll be greeted with a warm smile and a friendly hello from their business assistant Paula. If you’re one that dreads your trip to the dentist, Paula has the power to make that miserable day just a little brighter. She’s also VERY helpful when it comes to insurance coverage/payment options. Long story short, I LOVE my new dental office and if I could have given more than 5 stars I would have 🙂

I have been a patient of Dr. Nelson for several years now and I can honestly say he is a excellent dentist and more importantly (Gentle). I had gone to a orthodontist (as a child) who was rough with me – as a result I was always relunctant to go to the dentist. Now, it’s not a chore. Wendy, my hygentist is very gentle as well and always friendly. Dr. Nelson and his staff are the best!
