Patient Reviews
Oct 24, 2024
I went to Dr Nelson back in 2019. I tore my ACL 3 times and he was so supportive, a great person and an even better surgeon. I was a special case with having torn my ACL 3 times before seeing Dr Nelson. He was great and very good with communicating to me. I can’t say enough great things about Dr Nelson and his PT staff! I haven’t had any issues with my knee in 5 years! I recommend him to anyone in Fort Wayne! Thank you so much for fixing my knee and hearing my story without judgement. You are very much appreciated.
