Have been a patient of Dr. Nickels for 42+ years. Have never had one bad experience with him or any of his staff. Super knowledgeable group. Had my teeth cleaning today and all was fine, thanks to the services always rendered in my scheduled visits. Dr. Nickels and his staff are A+.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Nickels. He truly took the time to listen to my concerns about my bite being off and carefully made the necessary adjustments. What impressed me most was his honesty and integrity. He could have easily recommended expensive cosmetic dentistry, but instead he encouraged me to preserve my natural teeth and suggested I see an orthodontist to improve the alignment. He told me he wanted me to do exactly what he would recommend for himself or a member of his own family, and that meant a lot to me. It's refreshing to find a dentist who puts what's best for the patient ahead of more expensive or unnecessary options. If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and genuinely has your best interests at heart, I highly recommend Dr. Nickels and his team.

Dr Nichols and staff are always awesome! I’ve been a patient for several years. I had an unusual and difficult dental case this year that he navigated and resolved with excellent results. He goes the extra mile without hesitation to do what is best for the patient. I just can’t say enough about the excellent care he and his staff delivers.
