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.

For two years I came here for an injured elbow problem. Dr Nielsen gave me cortisone shots about every six months. After two years of this and the pain still always returning, I suggested that he order me an MRI. Me..the patient, had to recommend to the DOCTOR that I get an MRI. Turns out there was a tendon tear. Which of course cortisone isn’t going to fix. He recommended a Tenex procedure. Two months after the procedure, which I was assured would heal the tendon, there’s still a lot of pain.

I saw Dr. Nielsen after fracturing both my elbows. The appointment went great, but I had some concerns with some billing issues. He personally called me to help resolve them. I was beyond impressed. I highly recommend this doctor.

Dr. Curtis Nielsen was a godsend for me. Whereas other doctors dismissed my complaints, he had the expertise and drive to accurately diagnose me and issue effective treatment. Three years of pain was gone within minutes of his care. He has my deepest gratitude and my highest recommendation.

I was in a terrible car accident when we were hit by a drunk driver and our truck flipped several times in the air and landed upside down after hitting a telephone pole. I went to several "Dr's" & "Specialists" about 8 months after the accident when I started feeling pain. About 90% turned me away after they heard I was in an accident and the other 20% had me go through the normal routine of raising my arms etc and said it would wear off. Dr. Curtis Nielsen listened and has relieved my pain.
