Dr. Nelson has been our family PCP for the past four years. We could not be more pleased with her care. She is caring, compassionate, and knowledgeable, and she works tirelessly as advocate for our medical needs. My wife and I are in our 60s; our daughter is a teenager. Dr. Nelson provides equally excellent care to each of us. I categorically and without reservation recommend Dr. Nelson as a primary care physician.

My children and I have seen Dr. Nelson since she started at Wheaton Medical. She is attentive, thorough, and knowledgeable. She knows what problems she can handle herself, and doesn't hesitate to refer when needed. She is great with the kids. They love to see her. I highly recommend her. In every way, she is what a family doctor should be.
