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.

This man changed my life
I checked into Park Nicollet on the morning of February 1, 2021, unable to walk. At 2 pm that. Dr. Watts showed me the reason: I had fourth stage metastatic prostrate cancer that had spread to, and now was coating my spine, Three doctors since have told me that they were certain, based on the scan, that I never would walk again. Eight months later, I was walking on my own, without a walker, for over five miles a day. Now I walk ten miles a day, have made more friends in the last year than in the ten years before. I owe all of this to this man, Five stars is at least a star too few.

Waited over an hour past appointment time. Said he would not help with my ruptured disk problem because of my weight. Talked about how this isn't even considered a problem in England and I wouldn't even get an appt. If i lived there? Made absolutely no sense.
