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.

Prostatectomy
Dr. Nelson followed my prostate cancer for five years...after my third biopsy it was time to remove my prostate. He did a wonderful job! I'm cancer free and still have good flow control. He is a very caring and skilled doctor...so thankful!!!

Saved my life!
Removed cancerous tumors from my bladder. Nurses and staff were great. Had 12 BCG treatments with follow up visits every 3 months. Dr. Nelson does a great job and explains everything. He also provided referrals to other Doctors as needed.

Visits. At the beginning of the pandemic when I had terrible L flank pain with a fever & had been to anybody who would see me (my PCP would NOT see me because my phone was not set up for visual visits), my PCP's associate saw me & dx a strained back, Patient First saw me & tested me for the regular flu & sent me home with antibiotics for a UTI. Dr. Nelson saw me quickly (just as soon as I called) & just as quickly dx my 6 kidney stones & zapped the ones he could with his laser. He put me on med to counter a med I am on that fosters the growth of kidney stones but I need. He is wonderful. And he has a sense of humor. He is a wonderful caring doctor.

He makes us feel like we matter as human beings, not just a number. He takes time to explain what is going on not only to my husband, but to me as well. We wish we would have started this journey with him 10 years ago instead of just finding him a year ago. What a different path we may have been on.

I was refered to Dr. Nelson by a partner in his group. As a OR nurse I have worked with him in the OR and I trust his judgment and skills. And he is a nice person. He explains all sides to any decision you may make. He is honest and upfront.

Dr. Kinlock Nelson is one of the most caring and kind Doctor that I have ever experienced. I've been a patient for almost 10 years and I can't say enough wonderful things about him. He is very thorough in his examination and he actually is the one who calls you to give you the results of any procedures he scheduled. I have been extremely impressed with his care, professionalism, and friendliness. I highly recommend Dr. Kinlock Nelson to anyone needing to visit a urologist.
