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.

I have been seeing Dr. Nelson over 10 years and he has accurately diagnosed and treated several of ailments. He has worked me in several times when an ailment happened and I needed immediate assistance.

Been seeing Dr Nelson for 22 years.
Dr Nelson is a compassionate doctor. He has taken care of me, my friends, and family for over two decades. Ive recommended many patients to him. All the doctors at WMM are good. I’ve seen all of them at one time or another when Dr N was on vacation.

Dr. Nelson has been my primary physician for several years perhaps about five or six. He is easy to communicate with, conscientious, caring, and has a sense of humor. I don’t have to wait long to see him and his staff is caring and helpful. I am very confident in his medical expertise. I would certainly recommend him.
