Kind and caring manner that put me at ease. He explained everything in layman's terms so I could easily understand and relaxed me knowing everything was ok. He spent a considerable amount of time explaining things. I was very grateful.

I have always like Dr Nelson, I use to go to him for years and years until Insurance would not let me, but I switched back to him now that insurance allows me. Because I think Dr Nelson is a great compassionate doctor and really listens to the patient!

Since I was about to go on Medicare, there were several requirements in order to continue with my sleep apnea equipment. Some of the hoops seemed impossible to jump through, mostly because of the eqipment provider and not Dr. Nelson. Dr. Nelson and everyone in his Overland Park office were extremely helpful and went out of their way to see my situation through until it was completely resolved.

The staff is very courteous, respond quickly to voice mail and willing to answer questions. Dr. Nelson is AWESOME! He answers all my questions. Squeezed me in for an appointment - wanted to make sure the bronchitis was under control. Has a great bedside manner. Just can't say enough about him!
