Went in to have grafting done to help one of my lower front, so he grafted from a tooth upper back. I have been back several times after that because of sharp pain with anything I drink from the upper grafting. Now he says he needs to pull the tooth he grafted from. Will not ever go there again. Went in to help a tooth, instead, he will pull a different tooth that was fine when I went in.

Had a trauma to the mouth 20 years ago and loads of work between then and about 10 years ago, when I walked into this office for the first time. Everyone there is warm and friendly. I have been through a lot with my mouth and it never gets easier. They are patient and sympathetic to my being a baby about it. Dr Nitzell gets in and gets out and doesn’t use excessive numbing where you’re numb hours after you leave, which is refreshing.

They will work with you on payments if necessary and they still treat you with dignity and respect. This office is top notch and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. I’d recommend them 100x over.

Dr. Nitzell knows his profession well. I have some gum loss on the front of my bottom front teeth. He explained what would happen and how they could "fix" it, then took care of me on a second visit. Just had my follow up a month after it was fixed, and he said it looks good. His office will do my next cleaning, and then back to my regular dentist.

Dr. Nitzell is a very kind man, a good dentist and as gentle as he can be when dealing with someone who has dental "issues". The staff is professional and very competent. They are timely when you arrive for your appointment yet somehow always find a way to answer all of your questions. I have been to this office multiple times over the last two years with several different procedures performed.

I don't personally know anyone who gets excited about a Periodontist appointment but when you choose Dr. Nitzell's office, at least you can forget the worry and stress you used to feel at the dentist. All things considered, It's not bad at all. 5 Stars all the way. Signed, A dental scaredy cat
