Patient Reviews
Apr 12, 2022
I highly recommend Dr. Carolyn Nelson for anyone in need of endocrinology care. Her impeccable educational credentials are only surpassed by the GENUINE concern she displays for me as a patient. Being a Type 1 diabetic herself gives Dr. Nelson unique insight to many of the issues I have. She is always generous with her time in listening to my concerns and then taking the time to thoroughly explain how we need to address those issues in easy-to-understand language. She has a very friendly and easily approachable style. She also has a very capable support staff, most notably her Nurse, Paige Leibfried. Paige has a similar demeanor as Dr. Nelson and displays careful attention to insuring all my questions are answered in a caring and respectful manner. I could not be more pleased with the professionalism demonstrated by Dr. Nelson's first-class practice.
