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.

He did both of my sons torn ACLs in both knees a year apart. He is the best.

I want to preface this by saying Ive worked in healthcare for the last 15 years. Im not just an angry mom or an angry patient My daughter WAS a softball player who went to Nielson with a very simple issue from a softball injury. He botched her surgery, he destroyed her knee and her life. she hasnt been able to play in years and is now preparing for her 3rd surgery. A friend of hers had surgery with him also he also had to have a 2nd surgery to repair his knee, his license should revoked. This man should not be practicing medicine.

The Dr has no respect for the child in pain. He did a quick search on line and printed out a recommendation without ever evaluating the patient. He said he based his judgement on the few questions he asked. His bedside manor is more suitable for animals.

My wife, who is also a physician, and myself, a psychologist, could not be any happier with Dr. Nielson in how he treated our son and his torn ACL. We actually waited to travel from Texas to Las Vegas so that Dr. Nielson could perform the surgery. His expertise to both of us was quite clear and precise. It was wonderful having a physician who had the skill and confidence that Dr, Nielson has. We only trust certain people with both of our children, and we knew the minute we spoke with Dr. Nielson that his expertise, Harvard trained fellowship and commitment to excellence would ensure that our son received the best care possible. We were not disappointed. We highly recommend Dr. Nielson without any reservation!

I have been with Dr Nielson for 3 years now. He is amazing. He has treated me for discoid miniscus/tear in both knees and has done surgery to fix both of them. He is caring and has good bedside manner. He is really great and i would recommend him to anyone.

We were so thankful we were referred to Dr. Nielson for my daughters broken arm. Dr. Nielson was very professional and kind. We appreciate that he took the time to show us the xrays and explain everything, including the best treatment for my daughter. Dr. Nielson's staff was very nice as well, they all made her feel comfortable and safe. His Assistant Jason, was great with my daughter as well, he applied her cast and explained everything to us and was very gentle not to cause her any pain.

While I do not question Dr. Nielson's wealth of knowledge, he nor his staff seem to work well with children or understand how to deal with children based on their age. Furthermore, there seems to be no respect for a child's pain.
