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.

Eye exam was very thorough with detailed explanation. Bedside manner was excellent.

I went to Dr Nelson to resolve the problem of hazy vision in my right eye. Something had entered this eye and led to a corneal abrasion. My primary care physician, after two visits, asked me to see a specialist. Dr Nelson found something lodged on my upper eye lid, took it out, and solved my problem. The primary care physician had prescribed an antibiotic cream that stung my eyes and had not discovered the foreign object. I found it easy to explain my problem to Dr Nelson and sensed that he understood every bit of information that mattered. I am so so grateful
