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 came to Dr Nelson for a 2nd opinion for my left foot pain. He was caring, empathetic, and offered me a few solutions. Now I’m back to going to the gym without pain!

Dr. Nelson was very thorough in explaining the procedure I was going to have. The surgery he did on my foot came out beautifully. My experience with him and his staff was awesome. He was very caring and very professional. I am so happy with the way the process has gone. I would absolutely recommend him to family and friends.
