Patient Reviews
Nov 13, 2023
Was a patient of Dr. Nelson when he was practicing in Houston Tx. He knows what he is talking about and gives you all the information you need to survive. On November 13th of this year I have survived Stage IV breast cancer for more than 10 years. If you get so lucky to have Dr. Nelson for your doctor, you need to thank God above for putting this doctor in your life.
