Jul 07, 2023
Unfortunately I had to be seen in the ER in union County Ms, and Dr Nelson was the doctor on for this visit. He calmed me down and reassured me everything was going to be okay. He immediately addressed the pain and gave adequate dosing. I'm still currently in the ER but I give him 100/10! I wish wish wish all doctors were this nice!
