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. Nelson is charismatic as well as thorough. As an example, he is the only doctor I've ever had who takes the time to listen to pulses in your feet! He takes your concerns seriously and follows through on them. All in all, excellent.

My physical was very thorough and unrushed. I feel competent that Dr. Nelson would handle any health issue that came up in the best possible way either himself or a refer to a specialist.

Dr. Nelson is an outstanding physician who is extremely knowledgeable and accessible. I have always found him to be available in a timely manner (either by phone or in person), expansive in his knowledge and willing to spend as much time as is necessary to fully explore concerns or issues. I have the highest regard for him and provide my unconditional recommendation for the entire practice of which he is an integral part.

Dr Nelson is an exceptional physician and person. He spends the time with a patient and is a delightful person. When I had pain from a kidney stone, I quickly realized this was something that I had not experienced. I called his office and was seeing him within 45 minutes. He identified the probable cause and made the priority appointment for imaging. Diagnosis confirmed, medicated, referred to a superb urologist and a procedure was performed within days. After all the horror stories I have heard about kidney stones, I am so grateful to Dr Nelson and his humanity, knowledge and connections.
