I never am worried or nervous coming to Great Plains because I know i will be given the best care possible.

    Very profit driven practice!!! They plan work on you based on what is most profitable for them, and not what is the most beneficial for patient. Putting crown where filling can work well is Dr.Nelson's specialty. Hygienist behaves like a brain surgeon, shows attitude, and it takes her 90 minutes to finish cleaning. Seriously. And they will x-ray you all the time and for no reason Update: To tooth where Dr. Nelson wanted to put crown on was fixed by another dentist - just white filling, and it is still in great shape 4 years after.

    I can't say enough about the staff and Dr. Nelsen. Been going there for years and it's definitely the greatest dental office my family and I have been to! They are fun, polite, respectful, talkative, service is awesome, discuss options for dental treatment if needed. They are my dental family!

    Everyone at Great Plains Dental was great to work with; from the receptionist to the doctor herself. Dr. Waterberry went over all the concerns I had with my teeth and what options I had. She even touched on if insurance would cover the various procedures, which was a first experience for me and was truly helpful as a young adult deciding on which option to go with. If you are new to the area or looking for a new dentist, I HIGHLY recommend visiting Great Plains Dental!

    Said my husband needed a ton of work that upon second opinion, he didn't need. They didn't check with insurance before taking x-rays that ended up not being covered and saddled us withb the bill. Will never go back.

    After a lifetime of bad dental experiences, I finally found one I absolutely love. Dr. Nelson at Great Plains Dental in Sioux Falls is so kind, personable, funny, competent, compassionate - just a great young man. I called with a question after a tooth extraction and asked to speak to his assistant and got to speak to him directly. I'm a nurse, and, well, that's just about unheard of in my world. I have nothing but great things to say about the rest of the staff there as well. Everyone I've encountered has been friendly, polite, and helpful. It's well worth the 2-1/2 hour drive to get my dental care there.

    I've seen Dr Nelsen a few times now and cannot say enough good things. He and everyone else on staff is incredibly nice, thorough, and efficient. I havent had to have anything retouched or redone, it's WAY less uncomfortable than any other dentist ive seen and they're truly so kind. My 2 year old daughter has also been seen here and she also had a great appointment. Would recommend them to absolutely anyone.
