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 will never return to this practice. To start with, I had to wait for more than 20 minutes for my appointment when no one was in the office. Next, Dr. Nelson talked to me as if I had no issues and was stupid for coming in, which I did not appreciate. I was hoping that was the case, however given the symptoms I was experiencing I wanted to verify that (which is the point of going to the doctor last time I checked). Dr. Nelson's attitude could greatly improve and make his patients feel like he cares about the services he is rendering. Nurses were joking around and talking while I waited in the room for my additional services. Then I was prescribed a heart monitor for a week upon which 3 weeks after my visit I received an EOB & bill stating this was $7,500 for this service. Of course my insurance is covering a portion of this, however I was never informed that I would potentially incur this much in charges. Also let me mention that the monitor was a complete waste and showed nothing as I

Dr Nelson was very astute in helping us find a diagnosis for my daughter’s heart concerns. He stepped in and took the reins in leading us down a path to find a solution for her illness. He truly listened to all of our concerns and really cared about my daughter’s well-being. The office staff and nurses were wonderful! They were always very receptive and helpful if I ever needed anything.
