Patient Reviews
May 31, 2023
Dr. Nelson is the most caring and thorough physician I've ever visited. I was extremely nervous when he told me my best option was to have the surgery robotically. But he was very calming, and my surgery was successful. And I'll give him an A+ for my after care. I would most definitely recommend him to anyone I know. A great dude!
