Michael J Nick, DMD

My first experience with Dr. Nick was very positive! My tooth broke and my dentist was on vacation. Dr Nick had a cancellation and spent 90 minutes fixing my tooth. He is friendly, meticulous, and my tooth was restored beautifully. I am switching to him from now on.

He is perhaps the best dentist I’ve ever been to.
It’s a very no — frills office, but that just means you’re not paying extra for a waiting room waterfall and imported rubber tree plant. You’re only paying for quality dental care. Speaking of paying, his rates are very reasonable.
Dr Nick himself is very personable, and you can tell he loves people and his job. I went to see him for a swollen gumline, and he popped my infected wisdom tooth out just like that! No pain, no fuss. It’s probably the best experience I could have hoped for. Thanks Dr Nick!

I was the kind of person that cringed when I heard the word: DENTIST.
That was until I visited Dr. Mike Nick for a cleaning and exam. Dr. Nick told me what I already knew: that I should come more often. He also walked me through the different ways to brush and floss and with each piece of exam equipment he shared with me the purpose for them.
He told me I have more than 3 cavities to be filled… thank you very much, CANDY and from there I scheduled my appointment to come back in.
I begrudgingly made my appointment and came back in on November 21^st. After a crappy week already, I wasn’t excited about the procedure. Dr. Nick got right to the point — I didn’t even notice the Novocain shot he did it so quickly, it was painless. The 3 cavities took 40 minutes, tops — didn’t feel a thing. He was so thorough and has such a positive energy.
He makes getting cavities filled — actually FUN — I know it’s hard to even type that but it’s true.
Thank you, Dr. Nick!

My family and extended family have been goiong to Dr. Nick for years. It is impossible to think of all the wonderful experiences with him and his expert work.
I am now retired, but while I was working Dr. Nick would make appointments at 6 o’clock in the morning and I was ready to be to work at 8:30 a.m. My brother had a terribly painful toothache and the doctor came into his office on Christmas morning. What other dentist would do that?
My grandaugter, age 8, has been going to him since she was little. She loves to go the the dentist’s office, is not afraid, in spite of having had dental work previously done.
My daughter-in-law’s mother had been to another dentist who had not treated her problem correctly and she had severe pain early a Sunday morinig. My daughter-​in-​law called Dr. Nick, who met her at his office in an hour and solved the problem. Now she is a happy patient of Dr. Nick.
Dr. Nick and his assistant are caring and friendly people. He is a great dentist and devoted parent to his several children. While his office is not decorated with glitx and modern furniture, it is clean and comfortable. I do not look care if the office was not designed by an interrior decorator. What I do care about is the quality, skills and concern of the doctor and his willingness to demonstrate concern for the discomfort of his patients. In this respect, there is none better than Dr. Nick.

I called Dr. Nick this morning when my daughter had a dental emergency. He called me back himself minutes later and had us come in right away.
Dr. Nick was extremely thorough with my daughter’s dental emergency. He called an oral surgeon twice for a second opinion while we were there. He took his time, explained everything so I could understand, and told me I could call his cell phone over the weekend if I needed to.
I found my new dentist!

I hate to be a hater but after seeing a rash of great reviews, I had to say my piece.
I’m no cake eater but I was a little put off by the trip to Dr. Nick’s office. You walk up some dumpy staircase and down a dark depressing hallway. Perhaps they were renovating or something but the office was a mess. He and the lady at the desk were friendly, in a cousin Eddie sort of way.
I was called back, sat down in an old dental chair and took a look around the room and saw duck tape on some pipes etc. People have called me BIG MOUTH my whole life. But Dr. Nick’s hands are huge! Had marks on my face after he finished with me. He also drilled a huge hole in my tooth and then disappeared for like 10 minutes.
Finally, I know we all want to be «cool» but Dr. Nick cussing while he was making my mouth bleed did not help things.
Though my teeth were clean as hell when I left, I won’t be going back again.

I can’t even begin to start with how wonderful Dr. Nick and his staff are.
I’ve been scared of dentists all of my life and haven’t been to one in mumblemumble years, so my fears were heightened. I was at ease from the moment I made the appt and the receptionist was so sweet and hilarious.
He took care of all of my crappy teeth and I can’t thank him enough. It was quick and painless. You know how people are always «OH NO A ROOT CANAL!!» Well, I’m not exactly getting in line for one, but I’ve had two and I don;t see what the big deal is. Easy and painless. And the doc is personable and friendly. The best!

I found Dr. Nick on Unilocal!& booked an appointment within a week of placing my call. The office is located above the Walgreen’s right outside of Lincoln Square. During my cleaning and exam he really explained to me what was going on in my mouth & what I need to do to remedy the problem. I’ve never had a dentist really take the time to do this with me without making me feel completely embarrased. It grosses me out and annoys me that I’ve been going every six months for cleanings at my previous local dentist and Dr Nick pulled out a bunch of old black tartar from my teeth. He was a little rough with my teeth for this reason, but I never felt uncomfortable… and I know he was doing what he had to because my teeth looked brighter than they have in a while!
I have a few shadows on teeth that have been filled before and instead of pushing me to replace them he told me not to worry until I come back again in six months. I feel he is a pretty honest guy & for an un-​insured student his prices were very reasonable.
I’m looking forward to returning.

This man is awesome!!! I had recently moved and needed to find a dentist. I went to him because I previously had a root canal, by an expensive endodontist that kept causing me pain for a year after. I had been back to endodontist who did not help me.
After going to him, and having my root canal done again, my problem is finally fixed. Although the office may not look all that up to date, he knows what he is doing.
It was also really nice that he is willing to work with you on payment!

Dr. Nick has been my dentist since I was about 10 years old (I’m 29), and when I recently moved to Louisville, Kentucky and I couldn’t find a dentist that was taking new patients, I drove 350 miles to see him.
He’s absolutely the best, and I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else. He’s reasonably priced, works with my insurance company and he always honest with me about the severity of any issues he finds.
My whole family from my grandmother to my two year old niece see Dr. Nick, and we just love him and his staff. Carol and Dr. Vickie are the very best. And I’d recommend anyone to Dr. Nick.

I had a wonderful experience. It had been YEARS since my last trip to the dentist, but everything went smoothly. The staff was extremely kind, and helpful. I would recommend this practice to anyone! Go!

My parents came in town to visit me for my birthday, and while munching on a slice of pizza one of my dad’s molars chipped. I called Dr. Nick’s office at 9am the following morning to see if they could possibly squeeze him in and fix his tooth. Not only did they take him at 10am and have us out by 10:30, but they were extremely personable and reasonably priced. Truly a lifesaver. HIghly recommend this office!

Just a quick update to say Dr. Nick and his staff are amazing. Both my husband and I have had wonderful experiences! I’ve referred my neighbor and a few co-​workers because I can’t say enough good things about this dental practice.

I’ve been lead astray by Unilocaler reviews a couple of times, but not with Dr. Nick. He’s wonderful! He does great work. He doesn’t recommend any costly dental work and his prices are really reasonable. He’s also very good with kids. I’ve been to him twice, have made appointments for my kids, and my husband is next.

Wow! I learned SO MUCH from Dr. Nick about caring for my teeth! He certainly knows his stuff and loves sharing his knowledge with patients in a way that I’ve never experienced from other dentists! Don’t be fooled by the building, which could use some updating (as I was walking down the hall to his office, I was worried what I had gotten myself into). Dr. Nick has been in the same office for over 25 years, and he so clearly loves what he does and where he is.
If all dentists were like this, there would be no reason to fear them.

I’ll admit it. I’m actually afraid of Dentists on the whole. They fall into the camp of necessary evil which I unfortunately avoid more than I should. *Shiver*
That said, Dr. Nick is about as real as it gets. I love this guy! And I’ve been his patient for almost 8 years now!
He honestly cares, tells it like it is, and his general policy is to avoid messing with your teeth as much as possible (meaning, he’ll always suggest the least invasive route to fix your dental problems, instead of inflating your diagnosis like many dentists out there).
On top of having a great business practice, he’s also just really nice! He never makes you feel embarrassed, is completely understanding and sensitive to people with Dental phobia, and is very informative — both about your current situation and what steps you can do to avoid problems in the future.
It also should be mentioned that he has a really steady hand, too. One shot of the novacaine does exactly what it’s supposed to and I’ve never had to ask for a second shot (which I normally have had to do with other, less on the mark dentists).
AAAANND he’s great about working around people’s money issues (I started going to him before I was insured, so I am speaking from experience).
It’s true. The office doesn’t have a lot of frills. But if warm, friendly service from someone who is not just out for your money is what you’re looking for, then you have found your man. I woudn’t go to anyone else.

I am writing this review on behalf of my parents who have been long time patients of Dr. Nick. My dad is now deceased, but the kindness and care the doctor has shown my folks over the years is amazing. When my dad was too frail to drive, Dr. Nick offered to come to the house and pick him up. Talk about above and beyond the call of duty!!!
My mother still goes to Dr. Nick and would not think of going anywhere else. He and his staff are the best.

Dr. Nick is great. I’ve been happy with the services and he does a quality job. I got a root canal and it went as well as a root canal can go. He also saved a tooth for my dad when another dentist wanted to pull it.

So I was searching for a good dentist forever and my boss recommended this guy to me. It is totally old school, but a very friendly assistant greets you at the door and you get to sit and read the 100s of magazines and relax on the leather sofas. it gets hot in there so dress right. LOL
This guy has no plasmas up on the walls or fancy stuff, but everything is clean and affordable for every budget. He takes most insurances and will work with you on major prices. I was there for a root canal and cavity fill (2 seperate days). He will give you great advice and be HONEST with you about your situtation.
BRAVO!
