Patient Reviews
Jun 24, 2023
Dr. Nelson sees the person, not just the patient. She's not just an outstanding surgeon, she's an expert who focuses on the person. What may be ‘standard of care’ for a particular condition, she understands and accepts and adapts based on the uniqueness of each person. I cannot recommend her more highly. BTW, as soon as I said her name to my oncologist, radiologist, and various service providers, they went out of the way to praise her and her skills. Two said she is who they would choose for their wives and daughters. To repeat, “she's the best.”
