Tiffany Nelson's Online Review Report Card

Very patient and understanding. A very caring physician.

My whole family has been seeing Dr. Nelson since my son was born in 2008. For regular visits and shots and stuff she was great. With myself I complained of back pan for years. She usually would just give me exercises to do and the exercises would never help my back pain. I am on the heavier side and Im always trying to lose weigh. I think she probably just was blaming my back issues on my weight because I never got an XRay I never got an MRI or anything. Well, I finally had had enough with my back pain. I switched Dr.s within a month I had an XRay than an MRI. I took my MRI results to a specialists at The Spine Institute and found out I had a broken disk in my back that was pushing into my sciatic nerve causing my left leg and foot to go numb. I was asked why I didnt seek treatment before. Well, I did but Dr. Nelson did not take it seriously enough. I had my surgery a week ago and the pain is gone and Im on my way to being able to be active again. Had she not assumed it was because of my weight I could have taken care of the problem allot longer ago and been on my way to losing this weight.

Ive been a patient of Dr. Nelsons for a couple of years, she is always courteous but the wait time in the office can run long. I dont feel she really listens to the problem you have. When she subscribes an RX she wants you back every 3 months for followup before she subscribes the meds again which forces you to go more often than you care too. On occasion she didnt help at all with a virus I had and I had to find another doctor who would run the appropriate tests & subscribe what I needed.

Few doctors are as current in their practice. Dr. Nelson has helped my family through several medical issues. It is obvious she cares about her patients and is willing to take the time to hear about our concerns.

Dr. Nelson was my physician and my childs physician for over 2 years. On a positive note she and her office staff were always very friendly and courteous. I was always able to get in quickly for visits. My major complaint was after several visits for lower back pain I was directed to physical therapy without many questions being asked xrays, etc. I was directed to physical therapy even after impressing I didnt feel the pain was muscular/skeletal that it felt more internal...after not getting anywhere with treatment I decided to get a second opinion and switched doctors I have since found out that the cause of my pain was endometrios. Additionally, I had a spot of concern on my forhead that I repeatedly question Dr. Nelson about being told it was just a mole and no reason for concern later learning this was basal cell cancer and having to undergo Mohs surgery. In comparison to my new doctor I now feel that my visits werent very thorough and I wasnt heard.

WE ARE A FAMILY OF 5 WHO ARE ALL PATIENTS OF DR. NELSON. WE LOVE HER,SHES VERY PERSONAL, SHE ACTUALLY DOES CARE. THE STAFF MAKES YOU FEEL IMPORTANT AND THEY VALUE THEIR PATIENTS. SAME DAY APPOINTMENTS AND THEY WILL GET YOU IN IF YOU NEED TO BE SEEN. WE LOVE HER, AND WILL STAY WITH HER AS LONG AS WE CAN. WE WOULD RECOMMEND HER TO ANYONE.
