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 a wonderful physician. I worked in a hospital for 28 years and find Dr. Nelson to be one of the best.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Nelson?
Not knowledgeable about trauma. Loaded me up with medication which later was greatly reduced as I got the right treatment. Seemed to look down on me as a patient. A waste of 6 years. Labeled me as a “chronic patient who needed a chronic doctor.” I found much better help subsequent to him.
