Patient Reviews
Dec 01, 2024
I have had 2 pretty extensive spinal surgeries in 2 years, both from Dr. Nelson. ( upper and lower spine). I could barely walk and the pain both times were preventing me from doing the things I love. I am so glad I met Dr. Nelson! He was friendly, to the point, explained my situation in terms I could understand and always took time to show me scans and answer all my questions. He made me feel comfortable and confident in him. I am happy to say both surgeries were a great success and I have my life back doing everything I love to do and pretty much pain free! I refer everyone to him and I wouldn’t want anyone else for my spinal issues!
