I had a great experience with Dr. Nelson. He is one of the most thorough and brightest doctors that I have met in many years. What is most impressive is that he cares a great deal about his patients. I highly recommend and I will be a patient for many years.

Does not take the time to listen to his patient. He is very quick to give you many prescriptions as a quick fix and to keep you coming back. Terrible bedside manner. Would not recommend to family or friends.

My first couple of visit with him were really good. Then I had an optional test done by virtual imaging which they stated I could take to my doctor for assistance. The report was to be a starting point. Dr. Nelson was very rude to me as I tried to explain this situation to him. I understood what he was saying but he refused to listen to the facts. He even told me that it was inappropriate for me to have this test done. That really was the straw that caused me to move my medical treatment. If you decide to stay with him I would suggest you don't do anything preventative outside his practice.

I really enjoyed my visit here at this office. The staff was very courteous and professional. The wait time was great unlike most offices. Dr Nelson made me feel like a patient instead of a chart number.This is a true example of what a Doctor's office should be like.
