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.

Great!!!!!!! Dr. Nelson he's such a pleasant person to talk to about your condition very patient.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Nelson?
Six years ago Dr. Nelson performed total knee replacement on my right leg. He explained his part of this procedure and told me it would be up to me to do my part to ensure full recovery. The recovery and physical therapy are the most difficult part of this procedure. Dr. Nelson told me ahead of time that it would be. I am now 62 years old and I am getting ready to have my left knee replacement done. Dr. Greg Nelson is my chosen physician for my upcoming surgery! I trust him totally.
