Great place to go for kind and quality service. I’ve gone here for 15 years and plan on staying with Nelson and Bury Dentistry for years to come. I am always pleased with the service and so will you!
Dr. Bury is amazing. I called this morning at 8:25 and they had me in a chair working on my tooth by 9:00. Staff is amazing and very friendly and knowledgeable. Would recommend to anyone!
