Dr. Nelson provided excellent care in repairing a fracture of the radius bone of my wrist. During my initial visit, he made the diagnosis clear to me and scheduled my operation in a timely manner. Information given during follow-up visits was clearly stated and easy to understand. Due to this, I was able to correctly care for my operated wrist between visits. In summary, Dr. Nelson showed a caring, friendly, and very kind disposition. I can recommend Dr. Nelson as a hand surgeon without reservation.

Dr Nelson was fantastic. From my first visit to the day my stitches came out . He gave me all the options for my issue in detail. Day of surgery everyone made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. Surgery was just the way Dr Nelson said it would be. At my follow up appointment Dr. Nelson again went into detail of what I was to expect for recovery. Again, what a wonderful doctor he is.
