Patient Reviews
Nov 30, 2023
I was referred to Dr Nelson related to my vestibular schwannoma that was an incidental finding in an MRI 6 months ago. I had a ventricular peritoneal shunt placed for normal pressure hydrocephalus 5 months ago. I had lost most of my hearing in the affected ear and have facial twitching, numb lips and gums. I thought I would have radiation treatment. After speaking with Dr. Nelson, I decided to have surgical removal of my tumor. He was very caring, compassionate and extremely knowledgeable. I felt at peace with my decision of surgical removal of tumor after speaking with Dr. Nelson. I felt my case was complicated given my NPH diagnosis and shunt, but Dr.Nelson was quite confident with his plan for removal. I have full trust from Dr. Nelson and my neurosurgeon Dr. Jesse Savage. Awaiting scheduling of surgery now.
