Dr. Edward Waller Nelson, MD

Lucky To have had Dr Nelson as my surgeon !

Dr. Nelson thinks he is God but he isn't because God is merciful! He was the most UNHELPFUL, CONDESCENDING, DISMISSIVE doctor I have ever encountered in my life. If you need a port for chemotherapy treatment, DO NOT HAVE HIM PUT YOUR PORT IN! He has ABSOLUTELY NO bedside manner. He is so rude and his nurse Ann is exactly the same way. The nurse told us one thing and then Dr. Nelson told us the exact opposite. He is 67 years old and has been a doctor a long time and he should know how to treat patients by now. Sadly he is teaching a whole new group of general surgery residents to be rude, unhelpful condescending, and dismissive of their patients. He would not listen to the patient's concerns and did not help her in any way. No matter what your oncologists says ask for another surgeon to put your port in! ABSOLUTELY DO NOT have him do your breast surgery!

This dr. basically told us our primary physician really didn't know what she was talking about. He acted like he didn't want to help us and sent us to see another doctor.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2002. Dr Nelson help me understand all aspects of this disease. He was cautious with every procedure along the way. We studied everything we could to figure out the best procedure for me in the end. Was great with the surgery of the Trans flap and was so smart with all the follow up. You can't ask for a better, more knowledgeable, caring surgeon.
