Patient Reviews
Aug 17, 2018
Dr. Nelson is a very caring & professional doctor; more importantly he has a Kindred Spirit, and therefore truly listens to his patients with obvious empathy. I saw Dr. Nelson for the first time In 2002, then again in 2008/2009; most recently just days ago; he has continued to be "Unchanged" from his good manners & professionalism, which is very pleasant. I would recommend him to anyone, anytime. Hats off to Dr. Nelson !
