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. Nielsen was superb and compassionate!

Dr. Neilsen May be the best - and most personable - physician I have ever seen. He takes time to listen - carefully - then responds with an informative and calm manner. He asks thoughtful questions, and takes his time to listen to the answers.

Absolutely the best. Focused, professional and personable. First thing he did was listen to me. Incredible knowledge- I learned more from him in one hour than I've had in a long time. My wife likes him which is heady praise and critical to my care. This man is a God send.

care philosophy

I chose urologic oncology because I really wanted to preserve and maintain deep relationships with patients. My approach to care is to try as best as I can to put myself in the shoes of each patient, and try to imagine how I would want myself or my family members to be taken care of.
