Patient Reviews
Apr 10, 2022
Don't go anywhere else. He is a master surgeon and an artist of the knee and leg. I tried for 6 years (and 6 surgeries) with 3 other Dr.'s until I found him. I finally asked my primary care physician who has been practicing a very long time and knows the quality of healthcare workers who he would go to for what my problems had been and were. His high recommendation of Dr. Nelson saved by poor knee. I had basically been crippled for about 6 years until I went to him. He managed a miracle and my health is better than ever before. You can't find a better ortho specialist who knows so much and can do what other Dr.'s can't! Please believe me. I simply suffered with the results of lesser capable Dr.'s because they were so "specialized" and were in a highly marketed clinic.
