Attention, and explanation
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/4/2025
I have a good relationship with him and I appreciate his care. It is the best GI care I have ever had -- which is a low bar, to be honest. He does take good care of me, but it's nearly impossible to have a clear conversation about issues between visits... and getting a visit in any kind of timely manner is literally impossible.

I really appreciate Dr. Matthew Nelson’s care. He has been a wonderful provider. Responsive both face to face, and via my chart. He is an attentive listener, and answered my questions and explained treatments that I was inquiring about. He was respectful, kind, pleasant, and I wasn’t rushed. I feel confident in his expertise. He gave me great care in 2023, as well, and improved my quality of life significantly.
