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 amazing! She has been my OB-GYN for the past 9 years and is irreplaceable; so much so that I will drive to Gig Harbor from Spanaway just for her. Franciscan totally scored when she moved from MultiCare.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Nelson?
Dr Nelson performed my robotically assisted hysterectomy after I had experienced years of pain and the diagnosis of limited systemic Scleroderma, a very rare auto immune disease. She ran tests on my second visit and I had endometriosis, adenomyosis and fibroids. My best option (I have liver and blood pressure issues) was a hysterectomy. Dr. Nelson is amazing. She made sure it was what I wanted. My life is great now!!! I'm not in pain daily, 24/7 anymore!!! THANK YOU DR NELSON!!!!
