This was is the MacDonald's drive-through of dermatology practices. It was horrible. I went for a mole check and it was so quick and inefficient that I didn't even realize the doctor didn't even check my scalp! That was my 1st and ONLY visit to this practice.

My entire family sees Dr.Nelson. Found him when my other retired. What a gem! He is very good! I have special needs son, and he takes the time needed with him. He is very skilled, and never makes me feel rushed. Always looks for money-saving coupons for us, and samples. I have history of melanoma, and he is very good about being vigilant. Would highly recommend him to anyone.

Dr Nelson is great. Bedside manner is flawless. The wait can run a bit, Ive never had to wait more than 20-25 min, but I believe it is only because he takes his time answering questions and doesn't make his patients feel rushed. skin conditions are very in depth and can be scary for some people. I would rather wait and feel comfortable that all my questions were answered. I have and still would recommend Dr Nelson.

Dr Nelson Jr is like his Dad in a lot of ways. He is caring, nice and polite. But the office continues to run way behind in it's appointments. I have always had to wait almost an hour to get into a room, then another 15 to be seen. I have gone to them for 20 years, mainly because they were the only ones in town. Glad it has changed because I am looking around to find one that is also good but values my time too.
