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.

Dr. Nyholm recommended that my dad have a kidney biopsy because his creatine level was slightly elevated. Dr. Nyholm didn't taken into consideration that my dad's blood pressure was TOO high to even have a kidney biopsy. My dad had the biopsy at North Memorial and was DEAD six weeks later. The procedure was NOT explained as if there would be a chance of death. Dr. Nyholm didn't do a thing to help my dad. He was NOT a candidate for a biopsy. So sad!!! Always get a second opinion.

Had me on a high dosage of Prednisone for a year, I asked him many times if it could possible be "another diagnosis". treatment didn't work so he referred me to Mayo, . the doctor knew what it was before he even looked at me from just my lab history at Kidney specialist of MN. Guess what? It was the other diagnosis that I thought it was....... GRRRRR a nice long term run with prednisone and just to find out it wouldn't have helped me. Not a good listener.
