Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I have been going to Dr. Nelson for 20+ years. My mother also went to him, she passed in 2002. Dr. Nelson is just outstanding in everyway. He is not only a brilliant Internal Med MD, but also REALLY cares about his patients. Dt. Nelson is a very good listener and maKes sure all tests needed are done. With the addition of Hospitalists, Dr. Nelson still keeps track of his patients even visiting them in the hospital. He is one of the best and has been really good to both my Mom and me. A++
