NY Top Dentists Honors Dr. Elisa Nelson as a 2026 Top Dentist
NY Top Dentists has reviewed and approved Elisa Nelson, DDS based on merit for 2026. For Dr. Nelson, dentistry has always been where science and creativity come together. The ability to combine clinical knowledge with an artistic eye is what first drew her to the profession, and more than 30 years later, that same passion continues to shape the way she cares for her patients.
After earning her degree from the New York University College of Dentistry in 1992, Dr. Nelson completed a General Practice Residency at Flushing Hospital Medical Center. She then joined her father, Dr. Henry Nelson, in his Woodhaven practice, beginning a professional chapter that would become an important part of her family’s legacy in dentistry. The two worked side by side until Dr. Nelson eventually started her own family and opened her practice on Long Island.
Today, that legacy continues in a practice where generations of families have received care. Some patients first came to Dr. Nelson’s father and have remained with the practice over the years, creating relationships that extend well beyond a single generation. For Dr. Nelson, those long-standing connections are among the most rewarding parts of being a dentist.
Her approach to patient care is just as personal. From the moment patients walk through the door, Dr. Nelson and her team strive to create a warm, welcoming environment where people feel comfortable and genuinely cared for. Once a patient is in her chair, she gives them her full attention, taking the time to listen, understand their concerns, and provide individualized care.
Dr. Nelson’s commitment to dentistry also extends beyond private practice. Early in her career, she served as an Associate Professor in the Department of Oral Medicine and Pathology at NYU College of Dentistry from 1994 to 1996, sharing her knowledge and clinical experience with the next generation of dental professionals.
With more than three decades of experience, a passion for the artistry of dentistry, and a family legacy deeply woven into her career, Dr. Nelson brings something special to every patient relationship. Her goal is not simply to create healthy, beautiful smiles, but to build the kind of lasting trust that keeps families coming back for generations.
