Patient Reviews
Mar 05, 2023
Dr. Nelson is warm and engaging as well as knowledgeable and masterful at his work. He listens well, patiently allows abundance of time, communicates clearly and reassuringly. He gives clears choices of treatment with no pressure as to which choice to pick. Office staff Stacie is great and friendly as well. In the first visit felt the tumor almost certainly would be benign. At Marin General Hospital, he introduced me to the team in the operating room. Surgery went smoothly; recovery went smoothly. As a physician myself, I am truly proud and happy to know and have such a masterful physician and surgeon as Dr. Nelson. I trust him and would recommend him to anyone. Bruce Fabric,MD
