Dr.Nickel and his wonderful team are truly the best! Their kind, warm welcome put my 2.5 years old at ease. They’re also incredibly knowledgeable annd professional, explaining the process and what to expect as more of her teeth come in. And their office is truly next level fun! She didn’t want to leave after her appointment. That’s a first for any dentist I’ve ever been to. I can’t say enough great things about our experience there.

We took our twins for their 2 year old exam/cleaning and everyone was amazing. The hygienists were both great. Dr. Nickel took his time to answer my many questions and is so knowledgeable. They have TVs on the ceiling for the kids and it’s such a calm and clean atmosphere. I highly recommend. What a great experience. Thank you to all the staff !

Dr. Nickel is everything you would want in a dentist. He is friendly, extremely knowledgable, fast and thorough, on-time, all the while (and most importantly) being so patient and sweet with your child. We took our 14 month old for her very first dental appointment today and although she was nervous, she was put at ease by all of the very kind dental staff and Dr. Nickel himself. There were toys and fun tv shows, and the whole office is immaculate (super clean!). I had no worries at all going in to her examination and left feeling more empowered knowing about her current needs and our future of at home dental care and building good habits. We look forward to our next visit at the best office in town! (Vero parents - LOOK NO FURTHER!)
Response from the owner:Thank you so much!

We took our daughter her this morning for her very first dentist visit and honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Dr. Nickel was amazing with her, very patient, calm, and great at making her feel comfortable. Brandy was also fantastic and took the time to explain everything to us.

We wouldn't take our child anywhere else in Vero. We feel really lucky to have a pediatric dentist like this right in town and can't recommend them enough!
Response from the owner:Thank you guys so much!

This is the cutest office with every thought in mind to make the best experience for the kids. The staff is wonderful and the Doctor is knowledgeable and even has his own littles so he’s very relatable and is very easy to connect with. Highly recommend starting early when teeth start coming. Our 3 year old loves coming and is super comfortable with everything!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much! We appreciate you and love seeing your daughter!

This staff is ment to work with children from the front desk to Dr Nickel himself. The amount of care that went into my child’s appointments were above and beyond. I called because of recommendations on Facebook neighborhood page and I told them my child has autism they gave me multiple options for my kiddos visit. They said the would do a desensitizing visit then the actual cleaning we did just that and the dental assistant was so informative and had so many great tips on how to make the cleaning visit go so much smoother. When we did the actual cleaning visit he would not get the X ray and they didn’t push him to get it done which with a kiddo with autism can totally make things so much worse if you push. He was also a bit resistant to the cleaning it self but the patients and care that this staff showed was phenomenal. Doctor Nickles came in and did the cleaning himself and also had a visual token system for my kiddo to show him a check list of what was happening these are the little details that make a mother with a child with special needs heart at ease he also acknowledged my therapist who came with to help and thanked her and asked for her opinion along with mine as to make my kiddos appointment go smoothly in the future. Im so appreciative that I found this dentist I cannot thank these people enough for the help the tips the care and the collaborative effort to make all of my kiddos appointments in the future go smoothly. Oh one last thing he got a toy at the end of the visit and a present. What an amazing staff and an amazing dentist. Take your child here they are truly the best!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much!! We love our patients!!

Lynn S.
My son had his 1st dental appointment yesterday and it was…adorable. He’s a toddler, so I didn’t know what to expect but Brandy, our amazing hygienist, walked him thru everything. She put that Barney dentist book to shame haha. The office is beautiful, everyone was welcoming, and Dr. Nickel gave us some pointers I hadn’t even thought about. Next appt booked!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much!

Wow, best experience ive had with med/dental appt. We were greeted rt away with smiles and readiness to assist! The lobby has an awesome fish tank and interactive play area for kids & us adults☝🏼. It was a very clean and calming experience. Both dr and hygienist spoke with me personally post procedure to summarize and update the patient’s status. It was so easy-peesy. Yayy!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much!!!

Had such a great experience with Dr. Nickel and his team! We recently went for baby’s first visit and it is not just a teeth cleaning!

Amazing experience with Dr. Nickel and staff! The office is tidy, welcoming, and fun. Our assistant was very gentle with my son and explained everything to me very well. Dr. Nickel was easy to talk to, and made everything super simple. I’ll be recommending Dr. Nickel to all of my mama friends!

We had a great experience here, as usual! The waiting room is very kid-friendly with lots to keep little ones busy and comfortable (though there is never much waiting). All of the staff members we interacted with were patient, kind, and great with kids. They focus on making the visit positive and stress-free. While my kiddo wasn’t thrilled during the cleaning, he left smiling, which says it all!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much!!
Adrianne P.
We had a wonderful experience for our first visit here at Dr. Nickel’s office! At previous dental offices my daughter has had a difficult time and I have had to hold her down. At Dr. Nickel’s office The dental hygienist were wonderful showing my daughter every single tool they use making her feel comfortable. They conversed with her and I prior to her cleaning to give her time to get comfortable in the dental chair. During her dental cleaning they showed great patients and aloud my daughter to cooperate at her own pace and allowed her to sit up for her cleaning when she was feeling vulnerable laying down. I highly recommend Dr. Nickels And his staff!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much!!
Bethany B.
My daughter is 10 months and the team at Nickel Pediatric Dentistry have set such a positive foundation for her future dental care! Everyone was so kind and Brandy made the exam, cleaning, and X-rays enjoyable for my daughter. Dr. Nickel went out of his way to create a welcoming environment for us and I would highly recommend taking any child here, especially if your child gets nervous at the dentist.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much!!

Bella C.
This was my daughter’s (age 5) first dental visit, and she absolutely loved it! The staff were so friendly and made her feel completely comfortable. The waiting area is bright and fun with games and a big aquarium to look at. She even got to watch a movie during her cleaning, which kept her happy and distracted the whole time. Added bonus is she got to pick out a toy and got a super cool water bottle for her first time. Such a great experience — we’ll definitely be coming back!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much!
