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.

Awful. Asked to see my xrays and was denied. Unprofessional office. Started talking about surgery after a few minuets.

Very impressed by Dr. Nelson. He is well trained and experienced. I was greatly pleased with the results of my surgery. I was able to communicate with him when necessary via email. He is easy to contact if there is an emergency. I felt completely safe going to his office because of the safeguards used to protect against Covid-19. The office had free parking, was handicap accessible, and had an outside entrance without having to go through a building.

After hearing about Dr Nelson, I drove almost 3 hours to see him. He and his staff are super friendly and treated me like family from the beginning. Dr Nelson wound up doing surgery on my plantar fascia and bone spur. Virtually painless! After recovery period, I am now walking and standing on this foot pain free! Love Dr Nelson and his staff!

As a follow up to my last review: I am now 2+ weeks post-op after having tumors removed from my big toe and an excision of my ingrown toe nail as well. Dr. Nelson did a thoroughly perfect job! His staff is just lovely and the office consistently runs smoothly. Very kind people. I'm healing well and Dr. Nelson has been as attentive and professional as I expect of a first-class surgeon. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Scott Nelson.
