Dr. Nick is incredible. My kids have been going to him for cleanings, and he does such a good job! His office is clean, kid friendly and rather relaxing! We recently had my 5... year old daughter’s cavities filled. We were both anxious, and stressed about the procedure. It went so well! He and Jasmine were so patient and comforting. My daughter was relaxed, and able to do all the cavities at once! I’m very impressed, and would recommend Dr. Nick to every single person I know with kids!read more

My 18 month old just LOVED the office and Dr Nick. She sat in the chair all by herself and let him brush her teeth, floss and do fluoride. (Sorry Dr. Nick she bites) she... loved Nemo on the TVs through out the office and all the colors and decorations. It’s a very very clean and kid friendly office. I would 100% recommend Dr Nick and First Tooth Pediatric Dentistry to anyone with kids! I wish I could go there 😀 Thanks Dr Nick.. Piper and I will see you in 6 months!read more

This was my daughter's first time getting work done and the doctor and his team did an excellent job. As a parent you want to feel comfortable and know that your kids are... safe and treated with the most care and this place did just that. Doctor Nick and the team explained everything step by step, very patient, and friendly. Facility is super kid friendly my kids love it, they watched a movie while getting work done and were comfortable throughout the whole time. Work looked incredible too, clearly Dr. Nick knows what he is doing. My kids have more work to get done and I am happy my family dentist referred me to First Tooth Pediatric Dentistry. I know my kids are in great hands, I really recommend this facility to anyone.read more

Dr. Nick is a great dentist with a really nice office and excellent staff. I have 5 children and kids have been to various pediatric dentists over the years. We started... going to Dr. Nick when he first opened 3 or 4 years ago. Dr. Nick is the best ped dentist we have ever had. He is nice, thorough, respectful of my "no fluoride" and minimal xrays. He doesn't overcharge me, as we have definitely experienced by other pediatric dentists. He bills my insurance and that is it. Other dentists have always given me some supplemental charge for something ("oh, that white filling costs extra" or "We had to do an extra special cleaning that costs extra" etc.). I hesitate writing this great review because I worry Dr. Nick will get so busy that it will be hard to schedule my kids! But he deserves to be that busy.read more

I brought our 4 year old son in today for a checkup and I was very pleased with the great lenghts the office took for maintaining a clean and safe environment during the... pandemic. Dr. Nick and his team have been our son's dentist for 2 years and every time we visit, he makes our son very comfortable and occupied during the check up. The level of cleanliness was second to none and the staff take every measure to ensure a safe visit, including 2 air purifiers, masks and face shields and sanitizers. The tvs on the ceiling and electric train were a nice touch. I would encourage anyone with a child to see Dr. Nick and team and put any worry to rest as his practice is elite.read more

Dr.Nick (dentist) and Dr.Michael (dental assistant) were amazing. I have a 6 year old who is so scaird of the dentist. Both of them were so so patient with her and took the... time to explain each tool and show her what they did. I am happy to say she agreed to come (even though she does not have a choice lol). It makes a huge difference with dentist who understand kids and their fears and help work through them.read more

I took my granddaughters to Dr. Nick for the first time and it was such an awesome dentist experience for them. He and his assistant Heather were really great with the girls.... They had not been to the dentist for a couple of years and Dr. Nick took the time to explain all the treatment they would need. The girls loved the waiting area with the Ipads! When it was time for their work Dr. Nick and Heather were so sweet and showed them all the instruments they were using while explaining to the girls what was being done. They felt so comfortable in the chair! We all agree that we will be using First Tooth Pediatric Denstistry all all their dental needs! Thank You Dr. Nick and Heather!read more

Dr. Nick is a kind, gentle, patient, knowledgeable and trustworthy dentist. He has taken care of my boys, and their teeth, since day one. He makes visitations CALM and FUN!... We are ever so fortunate to have found him. Many friends, relatives, as well as my husband did not have good dental care as children and they are paying big time for it in adulthood. This is not a good area to neglect. You want an AMAZING dentist for your children and I can happily say he is that! Without a doubt, any child and their parents would be extremely well-off receiving dental care from Dr. Nick. He is a household name, every morning and evening at our home. Truly happy to give him my highest, whole hearted endorsement. Wish he would take adult patients!! ~Grace M.read more
