Dr. John Nelson is an excellent dentist. Considering that dentistry requires regular x-rays, you want your dentist to have the latest technology to reduce radiation, and to provide high quality images. Dr. Nelson's office is state of the art. He takes PPO and other insurance, and I've never had an issue with coverage. The office staff are quick to provide estimates, and I have not been surprised by unexpected billing. My husband has had two implants performed with Dr. Nelson. The work was perfection, with no pain, and perfect tooth alignment. There office has dedicated parking spaces in the large parking lot. It's conveniently located, and I've never had a long wait to be seen. read more

Midtown Dental Miami - Dr John Nelson, Dentist Midtown & Biscayne - General Dentistry Near Me - Miami, Florida

I like the dental team, but I specifically emailed to confirm they took my insurance and they just said yes. They did not tell me yes, but now we are out of network (so the cost will be wildly different and you will have no free visits with us). I was clearly trying to see if I was losing benefits with this dental practice when I reached out because my employer changed plans. read more

Dr. Nelson and his staff are fantastic! I had a such a great experience here yesterday. A few things to know up front... .they have a full schedule, so book your appointment well in advance. Also, your first visit will take a good 90 minutes or more, so plan accordingly I had been seeing a different dentist for a cleaning 2x per year but wanted to switch for a few reasons. Larry S. came here last year and recommended it. The office is super high-tech! In addition to standard x-rays, they also do a photograph of your teeth. Everything is displayed on an LED screen so you can see exactly what they are looking at. Dr. Nelson and his staff do a great job of explaining everything in detail. As mentioned, I get cleanings 2x per year, so when he recommended multiple visits for deep cleanings, I would have been skeptical had I not seen the evidence of the need. The hygienist removed so much accumulated plaque and debris from my teeth, I was shocked. In fact, they all seemed dubious that I had been keeping up with regular cleanings, which reinforced that a switch to a new dentist was absolutely required. I do not have dental insurance, so I went with their in-house plan. It's not cheap but it's also not expensive when you consider all of the tech they use and the amount of time they invest. I was always in and out of the other dentist in 20 minutes, but my butt was in that chair for 90+ minutes yesterday! Everyone was friendly and professional and it was as pleasant an experience that a trip to the dentist could be. I'm actually looking forward to my return visit! read more

I have been coming here for years. Dr. Nelson is a great dentist and his equipment is modern and very advanced over my old dentist. He has a large friendly staff that have facilitated all my needs. read more

Really thought I found a place that professional. Call to make a follow up appointment and was scheduled for 7/3/25 at 12:30PM. Arrived at the location and was told it's no such appointment scheduled. Fine made another appointment not available until the end of the month. Asked to speak with Dr. Sagar Mauskar wanted to ask is there a way I can put my number somewhere just in cause of a cancellation. Receptionist told me I had to make an appointment to speak with him. Told her it's literally not gonna going to take long and see if he will come out. Was told he'll come out shortly, waited 25 minutes and Dr. Sagar Mauskar did not came out to speak with me. The receptionist tone was very matter of fact and rude. This experience has me thinking about this location. read more

I just left my first visit with Dr. Nelson who was referred by the best dentist in South Florida, Dr. Paula E. Hutchinson (who is not practicing right now). His service and care is outstanding, his office is clean and well-equipped with the latest technology and his staff is friendly and efficient. The time he took to make sure I knew my options is rare. My patient plan was carefully reviewed with me and my comfort and comprehensive was paramount. If you are looking or if you are not 100% pleased with your current care, I highly recommend Dr. Nelson. I normally save reviews for restaurants and venues but he deserves accolades. I know I'm going to regret this because he books well in advance, but I'm taking my chances. read more

This dental office is a scam. They never submitted my claim to my insurance company and overcharged me $130 for an annual cleaning. They said they would repay me once they got paid from insurance. 3 weeks later, they never submitted to the insurance. They are incompetent. My insurance said all the codes are covered and I should not have been charged. read more

Do Not Go to This Dentist, You will thanks me later!!!! You deserve -10000000 stars!. Lack of professionalism, only care about money. I went to the dentist that they can fix my filling and cleaning the same day. When I got there, they only can do filling and made me to come back for cleaning. When the lady explained the charge and I asked that my insurance covered 80% twice, she said there is no cavity and considered as cosmetic so they only cover like 50% but she didn't` explain clear. I paid $266 what they asked and came back home and talked to the insurance and they said mine covered 80%,sent me the bill next day.I sent email about it and no one respond.A week later, I went back for cleaning and the dentist made a poor job filling my tooth, made the huge gap between teeth.She said, they will look into it and send me the check for difference but it will take 4-6weeks. I showed her bill that I got from insurance and she said that doesn't`t count. And then they charged me for cleaning office visit for $5 and they will deduct from what they owed me. Never paid office visit fee before, whatever. I asked my teeth between the gap. The dentist told me he did it right and I told him that there was no gap between teeth before the procedure. He was not happy about it and made m come back next day, added more material. He was rude and not professional. on top of that he tried to charge me extra $50 for extra material. I told the lady that if he did it right for the first time, I wouldn't`t need to come back. I am already annoyed coming back, tried to charge more? She said, leave it there and anything changes, will call you. Even after 2nd visits, he did such a poor job. Still have a gab and every time I eat, small piece of food stuck in that gap, need to floss every single time I eat. The amount I paid : $266 The money actually I am suppose to pay: $101 The difference is $165 If I really need to pay for office visit for $5 then deduct that and refund me $160, back to my original payment immediately not the mail check.Also, Charged extra $44 for limited oral evaluation that I said no to them when I came back for cleaning. Been waiting 6 week now and nothing!No Check, no one pick up the phone,no respond to my email or text. Total Scam! Don`t ever go to that dentist. That was my biggest mistake!Don`t fool for the good reviews, they only post 5star reviews!!!!!! Updated: they changed the words that they had to charge for sensitivity medicine, doesn't cover the insurance so I had to pay $165 for that. He didn't`t explain before the procedure. So be careful! The worst decision I've ever made to this stupid place.Nelson and the team, You failed your job and what goes around, comes around.Good luck with that. read more

Midtown Dental Miami - General Dentistry Near Me - Miami, Florida

Truly incredible experiences here. The staff is so nice and knowledgeable, they make sure you're comfortable and seen quickly. Pricing is given up front and is super affordable. Dr. Nelson is calm, not over reactive and takes care to make sure you're comfortable with the process. read more

I tried to make an appt as a new patient but the office staff was a turn off. I'll go elsewhere. I have a straightforward issue (cracked a tooth and need a crown). My regular dentist is out of network and it was going to be $$$$ so I looked for an in-network dentist on the Aetna site and found Dr. Nelson. I thought it would be an easy process to make an appt and get a crown. I was wrong. The soonest appt they offered was a month out (fine) but that's only an "examination" because the doctor wants to make his "own assessment." Seriously?! It's a cracked tooth! I have x-rays, a referral and two working eyeballs. It seems more likely the unnecessary, extra visit is simply a money grab for more revenue. There's no logical reason why someone should not be able to make an appt for the crown. Even if the doctor believes he needs to "assess" first, why can't that be done in the same appt. as the crown? Bill padding. Plain and simple read more

I love going back to John and his amazing team. They're all somehow so friendly and personable even at 8 am sharp. I actually enjoy going back to them every year. They're flexible with scheduling and have hours to accommodate my role as a startup co-founder. Also don't try to upsell or refer as hard as I've seen other dentists. Couldn't recommend them any further. 5++ stars. read more

As a business owner the hardest part of my job is finding and hiring people who care.. Dr Nelson has it down to a science. He truthfully cares, and it trickles down. I am cared for as a patient first, rather then a customer. His whole team goes above and beyond at every corner, they even recommended insurance to me, before I was seen, during a dental emergency. Dr Nelson has come to my rescue ON his night off to help me... Thank you to you and your whole team, keep up The great hospitality... BTW I have only been a patient for less then 4 weeks. read more

Dr. Nelson and his team do fantastic work! He's done my fillings, his team does my cleanings and he did my wife's crown. The prices are reasonable, and it's the rare dentist's office who actually keeps an on-time schedule too. Finally, I don't have to truck down to South Miami for quality dental work. read more

I've been to Midtown Dental twice--once for a cleaning and again for a health concern. Each time Dr. Nelson has thoughtfully listened to and answered my questions. His care and ability made me feel like I was in good hands. The office is very well-run. The staff is great. Everyone is kind, courteous, and efficient. Totally recommend! read more

I saw Dr. Nelson in 2015 to have two veneers put on to match the ones I already had. Keep in mind, I had already had veneers for 10+ years and never had even one issue. He ordered them, put them on and they were the completely wrong color. I tried to suck it up but they really looked awful in comparison to my other teeth so I contacted the office and went back to have them replaced. Really, my first red flag should have been that one of the veneers fell off the day after having them put on. Flash forward a few weeks and Dr. Nelson puts in the two new corrected veneers. The color was finally correct, awesome. In the months that followed, these veneers came off multiple times. This was not my first cosmetic dentistry rodeo, veneers should absolutely not do that. I went back repeatedly to have them re-cemented. Finally I called it quits and found a new dentist. Since Dr. Nelson put on those veneers, I have spent thousands of dollars on those two teeth (in addition to what I paid his office for the veneers themselves!). I have visited multiple dentists to get their opinions on treatment options/alternatives and they have all said the same thing. When Dr. Nelson was putting in my veneers, he apparently shaved off much too much of the tooth and the cement doesn't stick as well to this layer. I've had multiple opinions to verify this and the dentists have all been pretty appalled by the work. At this point my option is either pay for two new veneers that can be designed in a way that they somewhat wrap around/hug my actual tooth (and this option may not even work since the tooth has been shaved away so much!) or get a full crown. This will be several thousand dollars I will have to pay in addition to all the money I've already spent having these teeth recemented over and over and over again. Prior to this I really liked Dr. Nelson's office and had referred him to several friends who needed cleanings. He is very nice but after this fiasco I would not visit him for anything other than basic procedures.! read more

Been a patient of Dr.Nelson for 3+ years now. Great dental hygienists, very easy to make appts online and over the phone, and easy location with parking. Dr. Nelson is great, always remembers me and my patient history. Highly recommend the practice. read more

It's hard to rate a dentist since normally people aren't too happy with anything that could happen at a dentist office. I have gone to a few different dentists in the last couple of years and I think I finally found a dentist I really like. Dr Nelson is very friendly and attentive. He keeps you entertained and distracted even through my first tooth extraction. The hygienists are also good. I have had two cleanings this year and both times I walked out very happy. I can easy recommend this place for anyone on the hunt for a new dentist. read more

Great experience! Dr.Nelson made me feel comfortable Whenever I need anything I get the first open appointment I feel like a VIP client every time! I've had my whole smile transformed My teeth whitened About two root canals Cavities Fill ins Now I have a great smile No more pain!! I highly recommend, you will not be disappointed! read more

On my second visit to Midtown Dental yesterday, I had two teeth extracted. I'm a tremendous baby and have had some traumatizing dentist-related experiences in the past, so I was terrified at the prospect, but Dr. Nelson and his assistant explained the process to me, answered all my questions, and made sure I was comfortable, even letting my boyfriend stay in the room while they worked so I wouldn't have a complete breakdown. The extraction itself lasted less than five minutes--I was astounded! I felt absolutely no pain or discomfort. Such a relief. I was sent home happy and with detailed post-op instructions. Most incredibly, there's been zero pain since (!!!), and no swelling. Getting dental work done is no picnic, but as far as that goes, it was a wonderful experience. Bonus: spotless, modern facilities; kind, courteous, accommodating, professional doctor and staff. read more

First time visiting this facility and had a seamless experience. Karina was my dental assistant and was efficient in her bedside manor in tandem with her knowledge in answering any of my concerns. Nikki was in charge of "numbering" all of my teeth, and effectively cleaning them in tow. She explained what each number meant, and introduced me to Dr. Nelson who explained further. Through the use of diagrams and concise description, I was better able to understand my current situation as well as the several options I had to choose from. I genuinely had an enjoyable experience due to the friendliness and professionalism from all the staff. read more

I really liked my dentist when I lived in Orlando, so I was really nervous when I moved to Miami that I wouldn't find a good dentist. Today I visited Midtown Dentist and was very happy with the service I received. First of all, they open at 8am which is awesome if you want to go to work afterwards and not miss half a day. Next, the staff at Midtown Dental were all very friendly, professional, and down to earth. Everything was explained to me in simple terms and my X-rays (2), cleaning, and even a filling were all done very efficiently. I was in and out in about an hour and a half, which is not long considering everything they did. Lastly, all of the equipment is new & state of the art - in fact they are going to text me or email me my next appointment vs giving me a little business card that I would've lost. Dr Nelson was great...young, smart, and professional. I think I found my new dentist office and you should give them a chance too read more

Best dentist and dental office, ever. Great staff, excellent service. Dr. Nelson is amazing; he takes his time when he's working on your teeth, doesn't take any shortcuts or hurry you along. Clear about what insurance covers or doesn't cover-before the work is started, so you can make an informed decision. Very personable staff who maintain the high standard of care and attention set by Dr. Nelson. Highly recommend. read more

Dr. Nelson and his entire staff are the absolute best! I never feel rushed and they ensure all my questions are answered prior to me leaving. I am usually in and out in under 45 minutes. My bill is always thoroughly explained. I highly recommend this office! read more

I went to Midtown Dental after finding this office through my insurance. I had been seeing a dentist every six months, and was a dental assistant for 10 years, so I was shocked when Dr Nelson gave me a treatment plan totaling $9000. Although I have had a lot of restorative work done in the past and knew I needed an implant, it didn't seem right to me that my other dentist missed all that other treatment that Dr Nelson recommended. So I didn't just get a second opinion, I went to 3 other dentists. ALL of the other dentists disagreed with Dr Nelsons treatment plan. They all agreed that while they could go in and redo all of my previous work, it wasn't necessary treatment, and I only had one small cavity. I am not doubting whether or not Dr. Nelson knows how to do the treatment, he may be very skilled .... However, do you really need all of the treatment? If you notice the other people who have left reviews on this site all had a significant amount of work done, I am curious how much of the work another dentist might have recommended. My advice is, get a second opinion! Even a third opinion, you will see what I mean...if you want to have a filling or crown on every tooth and spend thousands of dollars unnecessarily, then go to Dr Nelson. ALSO, his hygienist is horrible. I seriously doubt she has a dental hygienist license. After being a dental assistant for 10 years I know what I am taking about. That woman does not know how to clean teeth, she may be nice, but unfortunately, it seems to me that she does not even know how to use the Cavitron, or the prophy cup, which are the basics of a dental hygiene cleaning. After I left, I paid $100 to get my teeth cleaned again, and there was calculus and build up on my teeth, as if they had never been cleaned. I am not in the business of leaving reviews, much less bad reviews, but I felt obligated after my experience. Please, get a second opinion! read more

Office staff unhelpful and would not honor benefits of an insurance plan in which they are a provider. Tried to tell me that benefits did not work they way they are clearly explained by both my carrier and in plan documents. Customer service fail, or bad practice policy? If the latter, they are unwilling to provide second opinion visit at rates under insurance policy. I would give zero stars if Yelp allowed it. read more

Dr. Nelson and staff is very professional and friendly. The office is very beautiful and calm. Dr. Nelson is a great dentist he is a perfectionist so you know that you will have great work done.

Best experience I have had at a dentist office. Staff is knowledgeable, very friendly and professional. Office is clean and modern. Dr. Nelson was super cool, down to earth and took time to educate me on the processes. Highly recommended, will be back again! read more

Please make sure you have more than a couple opinions before you decide to go with Dr. Nelson, he is going to try to charge as much as he can. Dr. Nelson recommended me a crown on a healthy tooth with a small cavity ,as the crown was not measured correctly, when he placed it he tried to adjust his mistake with by drilling the healthy tooth on top of the crown until I stopped him. He screwed 2 healthy pieces just to charge a bit more without thinking on the best for the patient. It was such a hassle to get my money back, after demonstrating all evidence to the insurance they agreed it was a wrong procedure done by the Dr. read more

I had a great experience at Midtown Dental. Dr Nelson does a great job at explaining what dental work needs to be done and gives enough information for the patient to make an informed decision.

I have been going to this dentist office for one year and have been super happy becuase the lady staff that take care of the cleaning have been amazing. I even refered 3 people from my office of real estate 5 blocks down. The biggest and reason for 1 star is the actual animal of dentist that worked on my 1 and only cavity, ive had a flawless teeth besides my one and only cavity that the filling came lose Accurting to this Haiting nationlist...and the he suggested I have work done. I had full trust in him. The day of was a simple filling of $90 which sounded reasonable to me. To make a only story short after two months i could still taste the cheap solution filling he used and after 4 months today im having pain in my tooth. I did go back to him he opened my mouth tap my tooth w the tool and said just wait it out. Now im out of town and dreading to even eat a bite. His not open or answering phone cus of weather conditiona in florida...but i will go pay another Dentist but definitely do not recommend this Dennis I would go to get the cleaning from his workers which are great but from the actual dentist I would not trust them with any of my teeth work ever again! Not a confident not professional he did the operation super hard. If the dentist office read this please do not contact me I'm not looking for a refund or anything like that I just want to make the public aware that you are not a good dentist. read more

I went there for a regular cleaning, because my previous dentist did not do a good job (more a boucher shop than a dentist). I beleived that, since it was a new place opening, they would try to do a great job to get customers. Well, it went from bad to worst ! 1st : had to wait for 1 hour 15 (with first appointment in the morning...). 2nd : regular cleaning was 1/2 done (just removing the tar manually and flushing - no polishing, no where to spit what was in my mouth, not even some listering) 3rd : trying to overcharge for stuff I don't need (wisdom tooth extract ; deep cleaning). If you go there, just be carefull of what they are quoting you on. Definitly don't recommend. Seems so hard to find a good dentist ! read more
