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.
Very knowledgeable, caring, showing the utmost concern for my issues.

I honestly don't understand why so much has changed in the level of care for a knee. In the past I've been told I need a knee replacement, knew doctors come in and no one will do it anymore. I have been told I don't have anymore cartilage and Dr Nelson says I do. Out of so many other doctors that have said it's bone in bone I suddenly have cartlidge, I guess miracles do happen.

Dr. Nelson showed me the X-rays of my hips, pointed out my problems, then went over the surgery procedure and recovery time. I don't know know if he left anything out, he answered all the questions I had.

Both Dr Nelson and his PA are absolutely outstanding! You people were extremely lucky to have found those 2 and then team them up. Believe me, if I could find any fault with them, you'd hear about it. Those two and Dr [...] are the only two Dr's I trust. They're that good!

I scheduled with Dr Nelson for a second opinion on some nerve pain issues I am still having from a knee replacement. Dr Nelson listened to my concerns and has introduced me to options to relieve me of pain.
