About Us Report

We try to make our office as welcoming and home-like for our patients as possible, since we believe that comfort and trust are the biggest factors in a positive experience at the dentist. We also strive to accommodate our patients' busy schedules. We're open Monday through Thursday from 7 A.M. to 3 P.M., and we offer flexible appointments.

Technology Report

At our office, we believe strongly in staying abreast of the latest technology so we can continue to offer you the highest-quality care. At our office, we use a high-tech screening device, the VELscope Vx, as part of our routine for early oral cancer detection. The VELscope is small, fluorescent light that can reveal changes in healthy tissue before they're visible to the naked eye.

Our family has been coming to Dr. Nellis since I can remember, and he's always taken sure good care of us. I moved away for 10 years and he still remembers me. Anita did the best job cleaning my horrendous teeth

We've received excellent dental care for over 15 years. mostly just annual checkups, but lately a few crowns! All done well. Dr Nellis and Dr Haynes are professional and courteous and the staff of dental assistants and office folks are great also.

First time experience and very much impressed by how attentive, professional and friendly the entire office is. Summer, my hygienist could not have been better in explaining what she was doing step by step, answering my questions and giving me advice. A lot of visits for cleaning you feel fussed at like a failure your teeth are not in perfect shape. but Summer put me at ease that I felt I could ask her anything.

I did not see Dr Nellis but his associate who was just as thorough and professional. highly recommended if you are looking for a good dentist and are like me. nervous about seeing the dentist!

I've been a patient of Dr. Nellis for over 15 years. He and his entire staff are kind, trustworthy and extremely competent. I am terrified of needles but due to Dr. Nellis' incredible technique, I have never been able to feel the pinch or any pain when he has administered an injection. Highly recommend for all ages! He is simply the best and you'll also become a lifelong patient. Thank you!

I have always been very impressed with Dr. Nellis and his staff. They take care of you, not just teeth but they take the time to actually chat with you and get to know what's going on with you and your family. Great personal touch, makes you feel like you are part of his dental family.
