A wonderful place!!! I'm relatively new to this office but to them, I've been going there forever. From the front door, to the exam room, to the front desk. They knew me and understood me, along with my health needs. I highly recommend this office!!!

My whole experience with Nixa Dental was smooth. The hygienist Kate was friendly and gentle. Dr. Sutherland was clear when explaining my options to me. Christy at the front desk was on top of it with my treatment plan. I appreciate how easy they made my appointment.

Dr Sutherland and staff are very welcoming and friendly. I feel pretty relaxed when I'm there which is unusual at a Dentist's office! They have always gotten me in when needed with a short wait time. Highly recommend.
