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 one of the best physicians that I've ever been associated with. I would highly recommend him to anyone who had any kind of oncology issues, hematology issues or even to use him as a referral to another doctor. He's the best. Thank you.

Dr Edward Nelson is the best. Period.
Dr Nelson has been my hematologist since 2005. I was battling Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. It became life-threatening in August 2009. Now, 13 years later, I’m cancer-free after a successful stem cell transplant, May 6 2010. Dr Nelson is the Captain of my medical team. I don’t do anything, health-wise, without his consult. Great listener. Caring and compassionate, yet direct with no sugar coating. Highly accessible. Stanford University fellow. Much more. Thank you!

Dr Nelson is wise and kind and a good doctor. I was fortunate to get to visit him (especially since the new construction at UCI makes the travel route to his office almost impossible to find).
