Dr. Jonathan L. Nelson's Online Review Report Card

This is the worst doctor Ive ever been too. I went to him years ago and forgot why I stopped going. When I arrived for my appointment, I was asked for my insurance card which I gave them. The lady then tells me they dont take my insurance and asked if I had another. When I said no she asked if I wanted to pay out of pocket. In a global pandemic with insurance that Ive never had a problem with why would I pay out of pocket?? This front office is filled with inept children. Theyre extremely out of touch and no amount of training will make them qualified to babysit a rock. Your main job at a doctors office is to inform patients about insurance restrictions at the time the appointment is made. I wasted time and money to get to this place. From what I recall now, the doctor is too busy selling his cosmetic procedures than helping with medical concerns.

This place is HORRIBLE. I repeat HORRIBLE!!! I went to this place for about 3 years and my acne and scars have never gotten better, every 2 weeks all my pimples would come back and I never saw a difference, if anything my acne got worse since I came here. When you go in for an appointment they pop all your pimples and inject it and they do it so you come back in 2 weeks with the same pimples. They just want money, they dont care about your face!! I only saw the doctor once and the rest of the times the PAs saw me. GO ANYWHERE BUT HERE!

I went to see Dr. Nelson over the summer for a rash that not one of the previous 7 Doctors Ive seen over the previous 12 years have been able to disgnose properly. On my initial visit the first person I saw was the Physician Assistant. Then Dr. Nelson came in and with me in only underwear started pointing a laser at the rash and asked the PA what she thought it was. She didnt know, so he informed her on what he thought. It was as if he was training her with me barely dressed in a chair. He had her do a skin graph and prescribed a cream (just like the previous Doctors) I had a follow up appointment where Dr. Nelson spent maybe 45 seconds with me. We continued the cream. I then had a follow up appointment with Dr. Nelson. Instead the PA was the one that I saw. She said to stay on the cream and she called in more cream. Then a few weeks later the issue with the rash got bad and I made an appointment with Dr. Nelson. As soon as I arrived the lady behind the counter informed me that I had a $25 copay. I took out my debit card and she said we dont accept debit/credit card, only cash or check. Hmm!! I informed her that I dont carry my check book with me and dont carry much cash. They said they would take a card this time, like they were doing me a favor. Again, the PA was the one to see me. As soon as she saw the rash, she said I needed to make an appointment with Dr. Nelson. (basically she didnt know what to say or do) I informed her that my appointment was with Dr. Nelson, not her, just as my other appointments were. Also that I just blocked out meetings to come to the Doctors office, took time out of my day and paid a copay. She didnt know what to say. Needless to say I was fed up. I dont think it was the PA fault, but someone royally screwed up. I just decided that I would no longer go to this Dermetologist, because they obviously dont care about me. Last week, I got a letter that I owed a $25 copay, and it wasnt the nicest letter in the world. Now I was furious. I called up the Billing Manager. Was very professional with her, but explained my frustration. I thought the person who took my card didnt enter it in. As it turns out there was a copay from the previous visit. In the real world, the Doctors Office would have to pay me for all the needless stress, the wasted time, and not helping my issue. The Billing Manager told me the reason why I was seeing the PA was bc my account wasnt notated to see only Dr. Nelson. I asked who notates my account. She said either the Doctor, PA or desk. Is it me or when someone makes an appointment to see their Doctor, should they not be seeing their doctor, unless previously discussed that they would see someone else? The PA was nice and tried, but if I need Heart Surgery, Im not going to have a Podiatrist perform the surgery, so why would I want a PA to take over for my Doctor, when 1. This was never discussed with me, the patient (customer) 2. The PA cant handle the issue Im coming in for. I would advise that if you use this office that you make 100% sure that the Doctor that you are paying and expecting is the Doctor that you are seeing!!

The worst ever! I didnt even get a chance to be seen by him because he only accepts cash if you dont have insurance. I went there with every intent to pay the $150 with the Flex Spending Card for medical expenses through my job and they would not accept it. Dr Nelson said they would have to charge me the same rate that they charge the insurance companies. I guess it was a blessing that it didnt work out because he sounds greedy and inconsiderate of his patients.

Dr. Nelson did a body scan for me after treating a family member for skin cancer. He carefully biopsied a growth, so that if the results came back, indicating cancer, he would be able to visualize the position of the biopsy, which came back positive. I trust him with my life and would not go to another doctor. He is very thorough and an expert in dermatology and cancer. He is efficient and extremely effective. His office is always busy but staff are friendly and helpful.

Horrible practice first, you are rarely seen by the Dr, and any treatment you receive is prolonged for months to milk it. Will take advantage even of a 2 year old child using ineffective treatment for months to collect $$$$$. Took him to a different dr in greenwich, and after three treatments, watts are gone forever.

Skip the visit. Rushes to give his opinion, and in my case he thought I had bed bugs, gave me the wrong medication, and then overcharged me. I had my house inspected for bed bugs, cost me $ 375, they did not find one. He simply did not listen to what I had told him, and got the prognosis wrong. The staff at the front desk are incompetent. As I keep getting bills and when I called them to tell them about my two insurances, they keep refusing to take the information. I used him before and he was better, he is rushing to much.

Dr Nelson is the worst doctor  He is more interested in being right about his wrong diagnosis the finding out what was really wrong.  He cost me two months of pain and maybe my life.  Run away  He is not knowledgeable ! He is such a ego manic that he doesnt do proper research. He takes the easy way out  Just saw that someone said he was good  dont believe it   Almost killed me with his mis diagnosed
