Dr. Nelson provided care for me after I sustained a complicated injury to my forearm that included two displaced broken bones. This care included surgery to repair the extensive damage. My arm has healed completely, and I am back to having full range of motion in my affected arm and hand. attribute this to the skill of Dr. Nelson. He and his office staff were friendly, caring and helpful throughout the entire process. I am extremely pleased with the care that I received.

An amazing doctor! He wasn’t rushed, explained what needed to be done, answered all my questions, and was a very caring individual. Dr. Nelson contacted me the day before surgery and 3 days post to ensure that everything was ok and that I wasn’t in pain. He had me return the following week to redress my finger because he didn’t want me to stress out about it. His staff was amazing as well. Everyone was respectful, made me feel very comfortable and friendly. I wish that he wasn’t so limited in his practice because I would certainly be consulting with him on other issues. Thank you Dr. Nelson!

Dr. Nelson is a great dr! I have a really odd situation and have been to many drs in the past, but Dr. Nelson has found the issue and fixed it. The great thing about Dr. Nelson is you see him all the time. The other drs. that I've seen once you have surgery then you see either PA's or nurses. There's nothing wrong with that but in my experience I feel that that shows a level of commitment to the patient. He is always available if there are any issues. Before and after surgery he called me personally! This really made me feel like a person, especially since I was given up on by others. I enjoyed the app that is offered through his practice. I can see all the notes, get reminders for my appointments and see the billing. Thanks Dr. Nelson for not giving up on my difficult situation!
