There was no wait time. I walked in and before I could even sit I was taken back. Didn't had to wait even a minute for the Doctor to show up. Love it that Dr. Nicollini always takes the time to answer your questions.

Very professional, thorough exam. Dr. Nicolini helped me consider several options to make the best decision about a treatment plan. I felt I was getting the best advice.

I appreciated that he told me what he was doing and why. I liked knowing what was going on rather than just being in the dark about why there were so many things in my mouth!
March 30, 2017Jack H.Verified patient
Dr. Nicolini has been my dentist for almost a decade and I am already dreading the day he'll retire - hopefully many years from now. He is one of those rare dentists that doesn't try to up-sell his patients or fix things that aren't broken and his craftsmanship is excellent. I am referring all of my friends to him and that's the highest compliment I can give a doctor.
February 15, 2017Nadja H.Verified patient
He is truly an individual that cares and isn't looking to take you for a ride. He's all about saving money and doing what is right for the patient. Highly recommended.
December 29, 2016Ryan D.Verified patient
I wish you could have a conversation while he's working, he has so many interesting things to say. His dental assistant and his hygienist were great too.
September 13, 2016Karen G.Verified patient
Dr. Nicolini has been my dentist for many many years and has always done excellent work on my teeth. He is very professional and has an excellent hygienist including his other staff members. This is why I continue to schedule my dental appointments with him.
May 17, 2016Sharon S.Verified patient

Dr Nicollini is professional, courteous, kind and very responsive. He takes the time to ensure I am comfortable with the course of treatment. I have been struggling with TMJ-and he has spent a lot of time to help me with the best fitting mouth guard. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Nicollini. I highly recommend him.
