★★★★★

My family and I have been patients of Dr. Cornel Crasnean at Nellie Gail Dental for about 2 years. I have been to many dentists in my lifetime, but none as wonderful as Nellie Gail Dental!  Dr. Crasnean is truly a top notch dentist!  He is very personable, gentle and caring. Great family man too with family pictures throughout the office. His staff is pleasant and very professional.  I have to comment on a recent visit when a crown was molded, made and installed while I waited.  I can honestly say it was a wonderful experience. It has been 3 days since the Dr. installed my crown and I cannot tell the difference between my real teeth and the crown…no pain – no kidding. Perfect fit! I highly recommend Nellie Gail Dental!!!

I live in Anaheim but my visit to the office of Dr. Cornel was well worth the drive.  I was experiencing pain and knew that I needed a root canal.  My wife, a former dental assistant,who has had the privilege of assisting Dr. Cornel on a Mexico mission , told me to contact Dr. Cornel, and I am glad that I did.  He was able to see me quickly — who wants to suffer, right?  I was treated very professionally and courteously by the front office staff upon checking in.  Next I had an amazing digital x-ray that confirmed my condition.  Lastly, Dr. Cornel took the time to gently and thoroughly treat my tooth and resolve my pain.  It is with pleasure that I write this positive review and recommend this excellent dentist and his staff.

Vic S. from Laguna Woods, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

When I called to make the initial appointment, I was treated very well over the phone, which I thought to be a good sign (of how I would be treated in person). Being a new patient, the staff (and dentist) made me feel comfortable, and I very much appreciated that. They were very professional and also very helpful. I had all of my questions answered, and the work I needed done on my teeth was completed quickly and efficiently. Great job, Nellie Gail Dental!

★★★★★

This dentist and his staff have been especially good to my 83 year old mother who really struggles with her dentures.

The quality of the dentistry and the kindness and flexibility that they have provided my mom (who has to schedule transportation well in advance) is greatly appreciated.  

Fantastic dentistry and outstanding customer support. Thank you!!!

Sabrina C. from Aliso Viejo, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

(…)I am a really, really nervous patient (as in, terrified) and he is so patient and gentle with me! He’s the first dentist that has ever asked me how my heart reacts to the anesthesia! I always thought it was just nerves making my heart race, but it turns out, he recommended another kind of anesthesia that wouldn’t effect me that way. He’s really a perfectionist as well, and makes sure you are absolutely happy when you leave.
I’ve sent my mom here as well. She is a really tough customer, and hard to please, but she absolutely sings his praises. The staff is very friendly as well. I’ll be going here as long as I have teeth. 😉

★★★★★

What a great experience! Who says that about the dentist. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by Lori and Denise who were so welcoming and helpful. They made sure I had my appts straight and understood everything. Then all the great back office assistants. Nichole who held my hand and lent her expertise. Dr Cornelius was so gentle I never felt a thing! In love with my new smile, they’re the best!

Elizabeth W. from Aliso Viejo, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

(…)I came to Nellie Gail Dental because my brother-in-law found this dentist and loved him, soon after my mom went and enjoyed her experience, so I made my appointment with them. The front office is friendly and the back office was just as awesome. The doctor is so nice and I love his work ethic. He does a lot of the work that my old dentist never did, so I appreciate that one-on-one with the doctor. I used to work in the dental field and know the negative reviews on here are not a true reflection to the doctor or the office. Thank you guys again for getting me in for my appointments and making it a pleasant experience! See you guys in 6-months!

Lynnae S. from Laguna Hills, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

(…)Dr Crasnean, and his staff go out of their way to make you feel comfortable, and welcome. You are treated with respect, and by gentle hands.
The office has top of the line technology, and your comfort, as well as healthy teeth, and gums is their priority. I highly recommend Nellie Gail Dental.

Alli E. from Laguna Niguel, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Best experience I have ever had. The staff is incredible, the treatment is top notch, and the dentist is one of the nicest, most pleasant, gentle, and knowledgeable I’ve ever had. I will be a patient for as long as I am in Southern California. Would recommend to EVERYONE!!

L. from Rio Rancho, NM (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Got my wisdom teeth pulled and I have an anxiety about Dentists.  Fortunately for me I did my research. Dr. Cornel made me feel relaxed. He was a jokester through the process and I was out before I knew it. His staff is also very outgoing and had a few jokes to make my mood light. i was in pain on one side of my extraction and the other side no pain at all. But the pain was not unbearable and now the next day i feel great.Thank you For the best experience I have had and changed my mind and made me believe not all dentists cause pain.

★★★★★

I dread going to the dentist, but all of the staff at Nellie Gail Dental are incredibly friendly and make appointments a positive experience. Our family have all received excellent customer service and Dr. Cornel is super fast and efficient!

Erin K. from Costa Mesa, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Dr. Cornel is awesome in his major. He makes sure that he provides the best resolution each time with high care and attention to detail. Very reliable, honest, talented, professional.  Each time I get a teeth done, I walk out with a very comfortable teeth.
Front desk employees are very polite. I also need to give an applause to the office’s new look. Very neat and beautiful decoration. Thanks for all.

David M. from Anaheim, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Thank you Dr Cornel for taking very close attention to my 2y old baby that fell down and got his tooth loose.

After a few repeated visits and much much patience from the doctor I’m glad to say that his tooth healed perfect and his tooth was saved!

THANK YOU AGAIN!
God Bless You and All Your Team there!!!

I don’t have enough kind words to say about dr. crasnean he is such an amazing gentle dentist and kind man. I had a couple fillings and two root canals done and he made sure I felt no pain at all! And I finally caught up on my favorite Netflix shows while getting work done!The whole office was friendly and walked me though the process, don’t even think about going anywhere else!!! The only regret you’ll have is that you didn’t find him years ago!! I wish I could give them more stars!

I have been coming to Dr Crasnean for a long time and had a lot of work done, he is very professional, and caring and advises me on the best options. I trust him with my smile!!

I found this dentist when I first moved here 3 years ago. Now my mother and daughter are patients too! We all look forward to our visits and even my 3 year old is excited to go.

R. M. from Corona, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

They are awesome! I’ve been coming here for a few years and they have been OVER THE TOP GREAT in every way. All the staff are amazing! I look forward to coming here. I love the atmosphere, staff and mannerisms of the employees. I also love the work of the dentist. I recommend them to everyone who is looking for a dentist. 🙂

(…)I have been to a horrible dentist before and trust me, this is not the case here. Everyone is very kind and welcoming. They seem to remember all of their patients. I’ve only been there twice but they all seemed to remember me. I do get quite anxious about going to the dentist but I really do feel at ease there. Dr. Cornel has a very comforting demeanor. I even had to cancel an appointment extremely last minute ( I’m talking like 15 mins before I was supposed to be there) because my dog got attacked by another dog. His wife answered the phone and was so sweet about the whole thing. She understood completely and expressed well wishes for my pup(…)

Lets face it, its rare anyone loves to go to the dentist. Im the big guy who squirms at the thought. I have been going here for the past few years. I rarely floss yet think flossing on the way to my every 8 month cleaning and thinking it will help. I am always greeted by an amazing staff who truly cares about my life and my health. The team is always investing in new amazing equipment. the cleaning and water pic scaling is one of the best dental experiences I have ever had. They are fast, painless, accommodating for appointments, caring and fair pricing. If you are looking for a Dentist Team this is your place!

John Y. from Aliso Viejo, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Dr. Crasnean took me in on a last min emergency. I was in so much pain I did not know what to do I knew I could not go through the night with it. I called the office because they were open late I told them the issue and got me in asap that night. He found the issue and did a quick fix so that I could at least sleep. His bedside manner was excellent did a great job. I might switch dentists now.

Zach W. from Aliso Viejo, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Nellie Gail Dental was fabulous! My parents had told me about Dr. Cornel and we finally went to him as my son needed four teeth extracted. Dr. Cornel was a great dentist, great with my son, and a fair price. He even had a movie for my son to watch during the procedure to take his mind off of what was going on.  I would definitely recommend Dr. Cornel to anyone searching for a local dentist.

Jane B. from San Antonio, TX (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

(…) was recommended Dr. Crasnean by my parents and come to say that they were right about him! He was very professional, thorough in his explanations and examination of my teeth and efficient in working on them. I was worried I had to have extensive work on my teeth with my first quote from another dentist but with dr. Crasnean second opinion and conservative treatments, he told me he would help save my teeth! I was very relieved with his examination and treatment of my fillings and wisdom tooth removal. I was grateful that I was accommodated by them in  a short notice time!  He addressed all of my concerns, and was very helpful. The office was very clean, good equipment and very presentable, felt comfortable being there.  I’m glad I came here and plan to come again. If you need a good dentist in the area or even have to travel a bit to this location, it’s worth it! Good dentists are hard to come by! Thank you again!

This place is amazing. Dr. Cornel is absolutely incredible. He put in some implants for me a year ago. What would have normally been a pretty painful procedure was relatively pain free due to his professional touch. My implants look superb and my pain is gone. I have my confidence back and I owe it all to Dr. Cornel. I cannot recommend this dental office highly enough. 6 out of 5 stars. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Simo M. from San Clemente, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Dr. Cornel is an incredible dentist! I had a wisdom tooth extraction and I am a very scared patient but he made this appointment be so gentle and caring that I was in awe when he was done! So so grateful for him!!

John L. W. from Aliso Viejo, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

(…)I have to say that I have never recommended a dentist…. Dr. Cornel (Crasnean) is the first; and, I can’t recommend him highly enough! Dr. Cornel fitted me with a crown and more recently, a dental implant. He is a PERFECTIONIST! If it isn’t perfect, he isn’t satisfied. He goes out of his way to explain everything.  He truly cares!  He conveys this attitude to his staff…. They are great!

While I have never looked forward to going to the dentist, I do now. Dr. Cornel does dentistry the way I do real estate…. For me, that is the highest compliment I can give!

Jennifer L. from Anaheim, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Had a root canal by Dr.Cornel , I’m terrified of dentists and it was the best experience Ive ever had! he has a gentle hand and I didn’t feel a thing! My review is a 10 out of 5 and I recommend going in and getting at least a first time consult and getting to know Dr. Cornel, his wife, and staff! AWESOME TEAM!!!!

Taby-Ovi C. from Rancho Santa Margarita, C (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Best experience I have ever had.Excellent Doctor,caring and gentle. I would highly recommend him to anyone! Everyone in the office was super friendly , I usually leave a dentist’s office with sore muscles from being so tense but I felt very relaxed overall. thank you Dr Cornel!

Referred by by son and daughter in law.
So happy to find Dr. Cornel. No one is really thrilled to go to the dentist, but each time I go, I walk out happy to have seen and been treated by this wonderful staff. Can’t speak highly enough about Dr. Cornel and his staff!!

Absolutely without a doubt the best dental care I’ve ever received. Dr. Crasnean and his staff are all professional, courteous and friendly. I would highly recommend Nellie Gail Dental.

Dagian K. from Aliso Viejo, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

So I am not the best dental patient and I have to say that the staff and Dr Crasnean were AWESOME!

I needed to have a root canal and I was a nervous wreck! The staff was great at calming my fears. What impressed me most was the same night that I had my procedure done the good doctor called me to see how I was doing and even gave me his afterhours phone number in case I needed some additional care. That to me is the mark of a GREAT dentist.

I highly recommend Nellie Gail Dental. Best in town! Dr. Crasnean is very thorough and gentle as well. Had major work done and was very pleased!

I’ve never had a more genuinely attentive and caring dentist. I recently had my wisdom teeth removed there on a Friday. It went as well as having four deeply embedded teeth surgically removed from your face can go. Dr. Crasnean ensured I was properly numbed and entertained by Netflix. I had some concerns about some residual numbness after the procedure. I called on a Saturday – I should mention they are closed then – and got an answer from Dr. Crasnean himself who promptly offered to bring me back in to check up on Monday. I went in and had him take a look and everything is checking out. The swelling is pushing on a nerve and the numbness should eventually reside in turn with it. I am scheduled to see him next week to check in once more. I highly recommend this beautiful practice with professional and welcoming staff for any of your dental needs.
