Why The Community Loves Us
“No one is excited to visit a new dentist for the first time. For the first time in over 25 years I was in the market for a new dentist after moving to Athens from suburban Atlanta. Couldn’t be happier with my choice of Dr Nelms and her staff. I felt valued and appreciated throughout my first appointment today. I received outstanding professional and competent dental care. Thank you.”
“Such an amazing dentist. The entire staff is so polite and kind and gives you good feedback for your dental health.
They do not push any treatment on you and communicate clearly what’s best and what options you have. Would leave them 10 stars if I could!”
“Dr. Nelms purchased this great business from Dr. David Hulsey. I have been a patient with David for 39 years. As any longtime client would be: I was concerned about my care from a new dentist. I have seen Dr. Nelms three times and I am quite comfortable that this will be my “ new normal.” I will not go shopping around for a new dentist. She is smart and demonstrates that she will give great care to her patients. I will drive past many dental offices to come see Dr. Nelms.”
