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.

Super nice and thorough doctor
We have used Dr Nelsen for many years and really appreciate his expertise. Very personable with a good sense of humor.

Dr. Nelsen has been our family doctor for over 15 years. He is the kindest, most caring doctor. He keeps up with the most current and newest medications, procedures and has given us great direction to keep us all healthy. His nurse Jennifer is also so kind and caring and there to give a hand or a hug when needed. I couldn’t ask for a better healthcare staff. We feel like we hit the goldmine with Dr. Nelsen and his staff.

An Excellent Dr Who’s Also an Internist
I highly recommend Dr Nelsen! I’ve been seeing Dr Nelsen for several years on a recommendation from a friend after my last long-time GP’s support staff screwed up too many times. To that point, Dr Nelsen’s support staff has been great. Several times I’ve needed prescriptions called in at the last minute and they were very responsive. Dr Nelsen has always struck me as thorough, patient and low-key which makes me feel comfortable and not just another patient in a busy day. Not once have I ever felt rushed or minimized which is rare these days in medical care. Most importantly, he actively *listens* and responds in a way that makes it clear you’re working with a doctor who cares about your treatment. Also, note that Dr Nelsen will see you as a GP but also as an Internist which means he’s got a larger body of knowledge for treatment than an average GP. Staff are without fail just as polite and professional. You can tell this is a well-run practice from the top down.
