    Dr. Nelson is amazing! At every appt he makes sure to answer all of our questions and that we understand what the plan is before we leave. He talks directly to our daughter and makes sure he answers all of her questions.

    Dr Nelson is great- he takes the time to explain things and answer questions in a way that we can understand.

    EXTERNAL SITE

    Doctor stated at the beginning of the visit that he hadn't read patient's medical file and he would not be her regular doctor. He didn't ask about her medical history, current symptoms, issues or what we needed help with. He told us the patient needed to figure out how to live in pain the rest of her life. Just deal with it.
