Patient Reviews
Jun 03, 2024
I have been Dr. Nilsson’s patient for nine years and I believe there are none better. He is educated in the newest technology and explains the need clearly. He has been patiently doing all he can to address my Afib. His staff, especially NP Vonnie Chesser, are just as professional and knowledgeable. Excellent, professional medical care with clear communication.
