Dr. Nick

The founder still stops by.

Dr. Nick Rudelich, who founded Southwest Dental in 1979, still sees patients on Tuesdays, a couple of times a month.Dr. Nick Rudelich and Dr. Victor Pickett built Southwest Dental on a simple idea: care more about the patient than the money. That is still how the office runs. Patients are family here. We know them by first name, and they know us by ours. Dr. Carson Baltazar is no longer with the practice. Patients who saw him are welcome to continue with any of our dentists, and their records are here.

Approach

How Dr. Rudelich practices.

Patients who have avoided the dentist for years get the same respect as patients who never miss a cleaning, and a plan that starts where they are, not where they think they should be.
