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 a very talented oral surgeon and I can not say enough about how pleased I was with my surgery He took the time to ease my fears, explained the procedure and performed it flawlessly and with little to no pain. I had to had emergency surgery on a holiday weekend and the entire practice was so very kind and helpful. Great job Dr. Nelson!!

Best Oral Surgeon in the Hamptons. Had my wisdom teeth extracted Doctor was great calmed me down and assured me everything will be fine. After procedure he even called to make sure I was doing good. Recovery was fast. I have been referring everyone I know there.

I'm 40 years old and this was my first experience to have a tooth extracted (I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed at once that day). To anyone who asks, my answer "piece of cake" thanks to the professionalism of Dr. Nelson and the caring attention of his staff. No pain just a little discomfort, minimum swelling. Thank you very much for this flawless experience.

Supposedly accepts my sister's insurance. This is a procedure that any oral surgeon can do. "Dr" Jack's reason for declining to provide service, "the insurance won't pay him enough". If you want to be his meal ticket, go ahead... if you want a caring DOCTOR, look elsewhere! If her condition worsens due to his negligence, complaints will be filed. Urgent, to this practice, also means 3-5 days apparently.

I called the office in Southampton and the receptionist was so nice and accommodating. She got me in to be seen that day and when I got there I waited less than 2 minutes and immediately got my x-rays and saw the doctor. He was very friendly and explained what needed to be done. I will admit I was a little scared but before, during, and after the procedure he explained everything to me and made me feel comfortable. I had two teeth pulled and I will only go back to him to get the other ones done!
