Patient Reviews
Jan 14, 2019
Dr. Nelson saved my vision. When I went to see him, I was blind in my rt. eye from AMD and I had a detached retna in the left eye. He operated repairing the left eye. I now have 20:50 vision. In addition he is a true gentleman and personable. His staff is considerate and nice.
