Patient Reviews
May 28, 2022
Just had surgery to remove a growth attached to my lung, embedded in my spine and growing around my aortic valve. This thing was causing severe chest pains, weakness in my legs/dizziness and strangely an incessant cough. Dr Nielson and his staff were very clear on what needed to happen, how it would happen and what the recovery would look/feel like. He went over and beyond due to pre-existing blood disorder and had ultrasounds done, then ensured I was on my meds and doing well before leaving the hospital the following day. Even the hospital staff was telling me that he was great and they hope if anything ever happens to them, they want him to be their surgeon.
