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.

I have had 13 orthopedic surgeries over 30 years, including 2 at the Mayo Clinic, others in Denver and in Sarasota, Florida. Dr Nelson is the best orthopedic surgeon of all of these physicians. In addition to expert technical skills, he listens to his patients carefully and communicates with them in detail. He takes no medical action unless the patient and he share a comfort level about any procedure. I recommend him unconditionally.

Have worked with Dr Nelson professionally as an operating room RN and have been his patient for total knee replacement so I have seen both sides of his working world. He is an excellent surgeon with a very likeable personality and excellent bedside manner I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs high quality orthopedic care
