I'm very happy with my doctor. Dr Nelson always listens. Which is rare these days. I feel that he is very good at explaining things to me and making sure that I understand. I'm very happy with Dr Nelson and his nurse and his front office.

I hope Dr Nelson never leaves. He is the best Dr I've ever had. He listened from my first visit back in 2021 to now. He is amazing. We have gotten treatments done that other Dr wouldn't do or even think about. How concern for my health he is makes me feel important.

Dr. Nelson is an amazing doctor. I used to have massive anxiety about going to the doctor, nonsense I found Dr, Nelson. His bed side manner and compassion towards his patients is top notch. You don't find many doctors who go above and beyond like he does.
