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.

Disappointed
I am extremely disappointed by this doctor and his office. I am a first time parent, with a daughter that was prematurely born and had to spend a month in the NICU (she is 6 weeks old). One night, my daughter had difficulty breathing, we had to perform the Heimlich maneuver for several minutes. After our daughter recovered, we panicked and ran to the doctors office (this being our first ever, frightening parent event). Since it was after 5pm, Dr. Margret Nelson and her staff met us with contempt and hostility. The next day, Dr. Riley Minster berated me saying our behavior was belligerent (he wasn't even there that night). After everything we have been through with our daughter, I am not sure that any parent can be behave can behave 'properly' in this situation. As a pediatricians office, I don't think its too much for a little bit compassion and understanding from our doctor and his staff.

He has been our kids doctor for several years - he is really terrific. I almost do not want to write this to keep him to our family! He is very compassionate and caring and is great with the kids. We like all of the doctors in the practice, but we always request him.
