She is the WORST. She is such a mean and ugly hearted woman. So rude and so condescending. Do NOT go to her. She needs to learn some compassion or she needs to exit healthcare as a whole. You enter healthcare to CARE.

This woman has a complete lack of bedside manner but more importantly is lacking medical skills. She definitely should not be teaching medical students!! She treats patients as if they have no choice in their own care. She totally botched my surgery.

I was there for a routine annual checkup. Dr. Nelson was professional and gave me plenty of opportunity to ask questions and express any concerns I had.

I spent a whole day of work to travel to this doctor. Upon a huge wait when the doctor finally came in she had no idea why I was there. After checking before arrival that my records were there for some reason the day I was there they could not find them. Was told we would conference over phone. Well after endless messages to nurses. No one from the office even had the decency to return any of my calls. I would never go here and encourage others to seriously consider elsewhere before wasting your time with this doctor.

would never recommend. tried to excuse herself from the problem after she stitched into my sciatica nerve and had to remove stitches and have had pain for months and no one seems to know how long i will be on pain meds for it. tried to say my pain was from a back problem - which i've never been to a doctor for in my life and although i've never had sciatica nerve pain until she stitched into it during hysterectomy.
