Dr. Nelson and staff were such a joy to work with. They were always prepared and timely, though their care for their patients is what stood out the most. I would recommend Dr. Nelson to anyone that needs Orthodontic treatment. She and her staff are a breath of fresh air in an industry that can be intimidating for patients. I don't think I have stopped smiling since my last appointment!

Kristin was very knowledgeable. Her communication was great. This was our first ortho consultation and I really didn't know what to expect. She explained everything and made sure we knew we could contact her for any questions later as well. I'm very comfortable putting my child in her care.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Nelson and her team. From the very first consultation, she was down-to-earth, knowledgeable, and made me feel completely at ease. As a guy in his 40s finally getting around to fixing his smile, I wasn’t exactly excited about braces or aligners—but she made the whole process feel easy. What really stood out was the attention to detail. She takes the time to explain everything clearly, answers all your questions, and never makes you feel rushed. Her office is clean, high-tech, and the staff treats you like family.

Scheduling has been a breeze—they get that life is busy and work with you. I’m halfway through my aligner journey and already seeing great results! If you've been on the fence about orthodontic treatment, go see Dr. Nelson. She’s confident, sharp, and clearly passionate about what she does. 12 out of 10, would recommend.

Dr. Nelson and the team at Metropolitan Orthodontics were truly exceptional. From start to finish, they were professional, kind, and always made me feel comfortable. They made the process of straightening my teeth a great experience, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality orthodontic care!
