I haven’t been to the dentist in over 10 years. Due to the fear of pain, and my gagging reflex is horrible! I came here to see Dr.Nikol. She and her wonderful staff made me feel really comfortable! If I was having a problem they would step back and let me get my bearings back and my thoughts outta my head! And April the support pup will also help you relax. She does a great job! I’ll tell you what, I won’t be afraid to come back here in the future! Oh and my bad gagging didn’t happen! Woohoo! See you next time Greenwood Dental thank you for an amazing experience!!

I had a great experience! The staff was friendly and welcoming, and Dr. Kurziak was very gentle and caring. They made me feel comfortable throughout my visit. I highly recommend this office!

Amy Garza

Very nice office! It was easy to make an appointment. It was for my 7 year old grandaughter. We got there a bit early (by 15 min or so) and was taken in early! Very nice hydgienist took great care of my grandaughter. She made her feel super comfortable (the child is usually very squirmy) but she was perfectly still even for the x-rays! Dr. Kurkiak was also very nice and great with the little one! Quickly found common ground with 7 year old. Everything went smoothly!

Elaine Field

I love seeing Dr. Nikol and friends! The office is warm, clean, and inviting. Dental work is quick and the staff does everything they can to manage any discomfort. April is the best dogtor around!

What a wonderful experience and an amazingly clean and modern facility. I dread going to the dentist, but this was by far the best experience I’ve ever had. My husband and I recently moved to the area and we really lucked out by having found Greenwood Dental. Dr. Nikol was very thorough and detailed about the condition my teeth were in and what the game plan was moving forward. Happy to have found such a great dentist in the area!

We had such a wonderful experience at this dental office! From the very beginning, the scheduling process was easy, organized, and welcoming. The entire staff creates such a warm, family-friendly atmosphere that immediately made us feel comfortable. I especially appreciated how patient and kind they were with my kiddos during their cleanings. The team made sure they felt relaxed and comfortable the whole time, which means so much as a parent. My husband and I also had very thorough exams, and the dentist took the time to explain everything clearly and create a game plan for our next steps instead of making us feel rushed. You can truly tell they care about their patients and want the best for your family’s dental health. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring, professional, and trustworthy dental office!

I can’t say enough good things about Greenwood Dental Care! From the moment you walk in until the moment you leave, every member of the staff is incredibly kind, welcoming, and professional. I have a lot of dental anxiety, but they’ve made every visit as comfortable and stress-free as possible. The entire process has been painless, and I truly appreciate the care and compassion they show their patients. I highly recommend this office to anyone, especially if you’re nervous about going to the dentist!
