Dr. Steven Nelson, MD

Literal trash. He said “ya I don’t know” like 40 times during our time there. He made no medical decisions he just kept saying “I don’t know like whatever you want” MAKE A MEDICAL DECISION STEVE. He was useless and when my friend started crying out of frustration he just left the room and sent the nurse back in to deal with us. GARBAGE MAN.

Dr. Nelson lied about me on my medical records and discriminated against me. I needed medication and was having a difficult time following up with doctors due to extreme depression. I asked to have my lamictal prescription refilled as it is necessary to maintaining my mental health. He put in my medical records that I hadn't been taking it and he "advised against restarting it". I had not stopped taking it. He told me straight up to stop taking a life saving medication that is necessary to me. He also lied and said in my medical records that I have borderline personality disorder and claimed my behavior (being upset about not being able to have my life saving medication) was due to this disorder, which I do not have. I have received follow up care and I am feeling better, no thanks to him. I don't have BPD. He simply stated this to invalidate my feelings and reactions to what happened. This is blatant discrimination and disgusting behavior from a doctor.

Get out of Medicine Steven. The world needs more doctors but not ones who treat people like you just treated me. I was in the ER yesterday with high fever resulting from Influenza. Upon discharge I was told to come back to the ER if my temperature got back up over 101.5 degrees on fever reducers. Today my temp climbed to 102. Went back to the ER as instructed where I received “care” from Dr. Nelson. He literally came in the room and said something like “yup, test from yesterday says flu so that’s why you have a high fever, might be Sepsis but it’s a risk I’d be willing to take so let’s not test for that... I’ve got other patients so...any questions?” yeah, I have questions: > I’m starting to bleed...what does that mean? - probably nothing > I haven’t been able to sleep all week, Its a huge concern, what can I do? - Don’t know >Why did they want me to come back at a 102 fever if you weren’t going to do a thing? - Precaution That’s all I got from this jerk.

He was thorough and efficient. He was also kind and compassionate.
