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 takes the time to explain things in a way you can understand. I‘ve been seeing him for my Asthma/Sleep Disorder about 20 years. Dr. Nelson is caring, patient, funny, and truly cares.

Life saver
A few years ago I was in Advent Hospital for 8 days due to a really bad bout with Covid. I never really sufficiently thanked the entire staff. Dr. Nelson was my pulmonologist. As far as I'm concerned his excellent care along with many other physicians, nurses and staff saved my life. He is a wonderful human being.

Outstanding listener, cooperative and educational.
Dr. Nelson has been my Pulmonologist for many years and not only educates the functioning of the lungs, but also how other organs interact and function with the lungs. He is patient, discusses options and never a clock watcher. Highly recommend.

I went to see Dr. Nelson at SMMC/Advent health. He was so easy to talk to! He honestly listened to me about the problems I am having with my sleep disorder, and everything that goes along with it. He explained to me clearly what I didn't understand. He took his time talking with me, was very thorough, and very caring. I am very glad I chose Dr. Nelson to see about this, as it affects my whole life. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing help with sleep problems.
