We are looking for an ATTY. My husband was given 1/2 the dosage of antibiotics after his hsnd got infected after surgery with Dr Nelson at tri city. He was on vacation and the pa opened it up again The dr never called my husband ( he was on vacation) terrible pain , hand blew up twice size and three months of therapy. His forefinger is contracted and he is going for another surgery. Really doc, how about when you picked up the opened bandaid off the floor and put it on the operated site in the office. I caught that. No opology for wrong dosage and I looked at the computer screen in the pharmacy and they said , look the doctor signed it, it was not the pharmacy error. What a shame. This is the last thing a 70 yr old guy needs in his old years. Shame on you. The Mrs.

Dr Nelson performed my colonoscopy. He and his staff were the best. He used Tri-City Surgery center and that facility and staff are also fantastic. Just a great experience.
