Excellent staff
September 19, 2020
Dr. Nelson is fantastic! She knows her stuff and she is always attentive to my concerns. She explains things in a way in which I can make solid decisions about my healthcare. I have yet to be disappointed in her care. Some of the nurses in her office however seem impersonal. The one on this day just seemed to want to do her job and get it over with. She didn't seem to believe some of my answers to her questions. I felt like another case and not an individual. But this won't stop me from seeing Dr. Nelson if I have to. SHE IS GREAT!!!
