Dr. Nelson is an amazing doctor. He takes his time, he listens to his patients. He truly cares about his patients. I live in Las Cruces NM, and I continue to drive to Lovington NM to see Dr. Nelson. Yes, I know I can find a neurologist in Las Cruces, but he/she won't be Dr. Nelson. That alone should give you an idea of just how great and amazing he is. ð???

I live in Tn., and saw Dr. Nelson whom at that time he practiced in Knoxville, Tn., at Fort Sanders hospital. I can't say enough about this Dr., he is very knowledgeable and will give his patients a diagnosis when other Dr., don't. When he left Tn., I couldn't relate to other Neurologists. Someone told me that Dr., Nelson had relocated back to Tn., and I was overjoyed.... but that was short lived when it turned out not to be the same Dr. I don't understand other reviews saying he was not friendly or kind. I didn't have that experience at all..... He is a very kind person and Dr.

He's a good dr. Takes his time and is very thorough. I've never had to wait more than ten minutes at his office and it is never I packed with people like a lot of physician waiting rooms are.

This doctor is unable to connect to a person as a human being. Very disconnected to patients problems. This doctor is arrogant and short tempered.

Dr. Nelson has finally given me the answer to so many problems that I've had throughout my life that I thought were independent issues, and now I know what the problem is. He is a great doctor. Easy to talk to, and explains things clearly. The staff is always very nice, and I've never had to wait very long at all. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.
