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 the most amazing Pediatrician in Tampa Bay. He is soft spoken and kind and truly cares about the health of children.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Nelson?
Dr Nelson has taken care of my two girls for the last 10 years. He and his staff of doctors have always treated my kids with kindness and respect. They are responsive to my questions and answer phone calls after hours and I've even had them in on the weekends. I have, and will continue to, recommend them to my friends and patients for their families.

worst pediatrician in all of pinellas county. for as long as he is in business its a shame that he is so jealous of another pediatician that he is discharging all of his patients that have ever seen this other doctor. as far as his wife goes she is the office manager she is a very nasty woman and shldnt be around kids. he needs to get some lessons from these up and coming pediatricians on how to take care of kids & their families. i wld travel to another city if he was the only dr.
