Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

My fav dentist of all tome
Dr. Nail is professional, kind, thorough, on top of new treatments, and responsive to my concerns. I’m not always the best patient , but he is always the best dentist. Staff is great as well, and the office itself is lovely, spotless, and welcoming!!

I went in thinking you were going to glue my crown back on. When you looked at my tooth, you saw decay and decided to take care of it immediately. Your and your staff gave up your lunch for me. I truly thank you for preventing this tooth from getting worse a a chance of me possibly losing it in the future. Thank you so much!!

Recently had my semi-annual prophy with Hope and an examination, including problem focused examination in upper left quadrant, for with Dr. Nail. Hope took my preliminary to heart and identified a fractured amalgam on tooth 15. Dr. Nail verified it and recommended a replacement amalgam on #15 which he did 2 days later! Wallah! Pain gone-problem fixed! I have only one thing to say about Dr Nail and his staff...EXCELLENT! This dentist, hygienist and all his staff with which I have ever interacted with since I became a patient there in 2018, is what professionalism and excellence is all about! Without hesitation, I recommend them to you! Glory to God for the excellent gifts He gives to men and Women which they use to bless others!

Great Dentist and Staff – Apr 30, 2021
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Nail?
Safety first! Patients and staff are well protected at all times. Modern building and equipment, highly trained, personable staff in all positions. Dr. Nail is an excellent dentist. I’ve had several crowns installed to prevent problems from previously filled teeth with cracks. If the crown color isn’t right or it just doesn’t fit right, he will send it back for a better replacement. Not inexpensive, but worth the cost.

The experience was very painful and Dr. Nail was extremely short with me. I’ve had fillings before and they have NEVER been as painful as they were with Dr. Nail.
