About Dr. Brian Nelson
Dr. Brian Nelson was born in Portland, OR but spent his early childhood in the small community of Commerce Township, MI. After graduating high school he moved to Ahwatukee, AZ where he currently resides.
Dr. Nelson is naturally curious and loves tinkering with anything mechanical. As a 5 year old kid he managed to sneak into the driveway alone, retrieve the car lift and jack up the car a few inches! No one was hurt, but his parents quickly redirected him to safer activities like building large, complex lego sets, miniature model cars and helping with DIY jobs around the house. He earned his dental degree from Boston University in 2010. He regularly attends continuing education courses, far exceeding his license requirements, in order to better serve his patients as dentistry evolves.
Outside the office, he loves playing with his 4 kids (especially Mario Kart!) and woodworking.
Dr. Nelson is truly passionate and uncompromising in providing high quality, gentle care to each and every patient!

Best dental experience i’ve had! Dr. Brian Nelson was incredibly knowledgeable and took time to explain everything i had questioned. Emma the hygienist was just as amazing! She was very gentle and made me feel comfortable with her friendly personality. Highly recommended this office to anyone who is looking for great dental care.

This was very disappointing. I chose this office because they accept my new insurance, I make my appointment on Zocdoc. I then received a call from their office to confirm my insurance information. When I called them back I was told that they could not find my appointment and that their appointment system isn't in sync with the Zocdoc one. So I waited a week for my appointment only to find out it didn't exist. I don't understand why you would allow an app to place appointments if they don't mean anything. Why have that option. It was a waste of time.

Everyone was super kind from the moment I walked in. I ended up needing far more work done than anticipated and Dr. Brian made time to get it all done. I have a difficulty staying numb, but everyone listened be believed me and I didn’t have any pain. Could not be more pleased with this experience and I will absolutely be back!
