out of Read Reviews for Dr. Val Nickhinson
I am relieved to see that other people found this dentist as horrendous as I did. I have a DHMO and called the insurance company that assigned him to me as soon as I got home to complain. My whole visit, including cleaning, took less than 5 minutes. I also left feeling like my teeth were not clean. The dentist did not introduce himself and barely spoke. I thought he was mad that I refused to get X-rays until he examined me. Neither cost nor purpose had been explained to me. I truly believe he is bordering on dental malpractice. (I am a physician and feel I have a good understanding of how a physician or dentist should present himself and treat patients.) I have now again started putting off the dentist. Fortunately, I have found Dr. Oogle!

I've been to his guy twice, and unfortunately I have to go one more time to finish a crown. He is just plain mean. And unfriendly. I didn't close my mouth correctly for a crown mold and he got all angry with at me. They did refer me to a great Endodontist (for a root canal), but when I went back to Dr. Nickhinson for the crown, they didn't give me any options on what type of crown. It's in the back of my mouth, so I don't care what it looks like, but they gave me the most expensive crown available, solid porcelain, and then suprised me with a $520 copay as I left. Totally unprofessional - do not go here!

My visit to this dentist was the first and last one I will ever make. I went for a routine cleaning and checkup. I really cannot comment on the cost since my insurance paid for everything. The facilities seemed nice, so I felt confident going into the checkup. The front desk ladies were very nice. Little did I know, Dr. Nickhinson was not like his front office staff. He was unfriendly and would barely speak to me. I asked him some questions, which he either ignored entirely or his hygenist ended up answering them for me. This stressed me out because I felt like I had a cavity and he would not address any questions about it. I finally had to ask his hygenist before I left if I had any cavities and she said no. Why couldn't he answer that? Plus, this was the first time in my entire life where I have gone for a cleaning and my teeth DID NOT feel clean afterwards. It felt about the same as if I did a halfa** job brushing my own teeth with an old toothbrush. They did not even floss my teeth during the cleaning. What kind of a cleaning is that? The only good thing was that I asked for a referral to an orthodontist and that was promptly taken care of. Find another dentist!
