Friend and very easy to work with !!!
Honestly the time and attention Dr. Nelson spent post surgery and the first two follow ups were not up to what I expected. Incredible brief. Maybe it's due to the way insurance bills him I don't...but I expected more.
Good dialogue Positive action taken Plausable recommendations
The schedule was on time. All team members are fast and efficient. Dr Cory was proficient and to the point. I would recommend him!
Experiencing shoulder pain for about 3 weeks. The last week was not able to work due to a lot of pain in my right shoulder. Doctor Cory Nelson diagnosed me with severe tendinitis, but said that I can work with my left hand (even though at my job I need to type and work in multiple computer application at once needing to move my arm fast and continuously for 9.5 hours). He also said that I cannot be in a lot of pain. I found that outrageous, how does he know the level of pain I am experiencing? It is not his job to say that. Severe tendinitis can be very painful. Stay away from Dr Cory Nelson. He was so unprofessional, rushed me and was very unsympathetic.
Dr Nelson was very kind, attentive and thorough.
Excellent communications. Was not in a hurry, answered all my questions in detail. Shared very honest advice pertaining to different options that I can take.
Very kind professional and helpful!! Very compassionate..
Initial appt and enjoyed interaction. Dr. Nelson was very engaging and had a pleasant demeanor. More importantly he advised of process, completed a thorough range of motion process on my shoulder and decided off initial assessment an MRI woukd guve him a better understanding of the extent of my injury and the ability to make better recommendation for corrective action.
DR Cory is amazing very talented and friendly
