KUDOS to Dr Nelson and his staff. Megan is exceptional……”knows her stuff” and very patient.
Dr. Nelson is awesome down to earth easy to talk to listens before speaking. Did you multiple options and is a certainly an advocate for the patient!
Very on time and to the point
Dr. Nelson did my rotator cuff surgery after a snowboarding accident and a lateral release in my knee 2 years later. The process was great both times and recovery quick. I did use Total Sports Therapy instead of the ortho however.
Informative. Discussed alternatives. Allowed patient to make final decision.
Dr. Nelson has been great in repairing my shoulder after a complete rotator cuff tear. I highly recommend him!
Takes the time to listen. Very personable doctor! Highly recommend
Corey Nelson is amazing!!!!!
