Very kind and thorough!
Always great experience he has seen my son and now me… his office staff are great.
Dr. Nelson is great! Very personable and easy to talk to. Explained everything to me so I understood what to expect with my surgery.
He did great! I really like his approach instead of rushing to surgery he has me doing physical therapy first. I feel I am in good hands
Professional, empathetic, you can feel confident when making a decision to try. First he will try to find you more options than before having a medical procedure such as surgery. Thank you Dr Cory
