Dr. Nelson has had the best bedside manner of any physician I have seen in this practice!! Also, there was a woman who was training (bloodwork) and she was WONDERFUL! She did so well with getting blood from me which is usually difficult.

The experience with my Doctor was as good as it always is. His nurse also went above and beyond to get a blood test that was ordered for me from another provider but was sent to the lab downstairs. She was able to retrieve the order and have their office do the bloodwork right in their office so I didn't have to schedule something or come back. Excellent service!

Dr. Nelson is one of the best! I have had Doctors that you felt like they were in a rush to move on. Not so with him. He is 100% there, eye contact, listening, and gathering information. He is always plotting the course.
