Patient Reviews
Jul 11, 2024
Dr. Nelson has been treating my eyes for glaucoma, high eye pressure, severe dry eyes & performed more than a few eye surgeries on me in the last several years. He has been working hard to keep me from going blind! He is extremely experienced, gentle, informative, thorough, friendly, & responds to all of my questions in a clear way. I see him every 3 months. I highly recommend him with zero hesitation!
