Dr Nelson has showed us kindness and compassion over the last 9+ years.
She was by our side during the worst time in our lives and didn’t hesitate to help us navigate a new pathway forward. This was our last visit as a pediatric patient and we will miss her so much.
Our new PCP has big shoes to fill and we will miss this practice so much.

Dr. Nelson is wonderful. She doesn’t rush through the appointments and most importantly she listens, not only to me but to my teen. She asks engaging questions and always makes you feel welcome.

Dr. Nelson actually listens to the parents and the patient. I love that she is kind and likes to try and find a solution and if by a few weeks of trying it she ask us to let her know if it’s working. I feel Dr. Nelson is the 1st Dr. to really care about the patient/parent/s
