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 always pleasant! He answers all of my questions and keeps me informed about my health!

I chose Dr. Nelson because he was my Pulmonologist when I was hospitalized in October, 2017 with pneumonia, a seriously bad gallbladder and a bladder infection. He was the best on each visit to me and I appreciated his warm personality very much.

Because of Covid-19, had my visit over the phone. Dr. Nelson is very thorough and takes the time to ask questions to not just give you a blanket solution but one that will actually help the patient. I made the appointment to come up with a solution to the trouble I was having with my CPAP and was looking for his advice on using a mouthpiece.

I’m always pleased with my visits with Dr. Nelson including the last one. From their check in staff, Eddie in breathing testing, they are very professional. I would recommend Kansas Puminology and have very highly!

Dr. Nelson is excellent. I have a lung disease that he has managed in an outstanding manner. I am much healthier now than when I lived in Texas under the care of another doctor. I greatly appreciate Dr. Nelson's aggressive, proactive, comprehensive approach to managing my lungs. Again, Dr. Nelson is excellent.
