We love Dr Nelson. She sees all our four kids. She is awesome. She is very calm. She is a very good listener.
Dr Nelson has been my kids’ pediatrician for 16 years…we love her!!
Doctor Nelson was very empathetic, personable and was ready to answer any questions I had in such an important time. She made great eye contact while in discussion of my concerns, reassured me and provided great bedside manner for both of my little ones.
She's amazing and always has been for all 3 of my children!
We love Dr. Nelson. She is always kind and thorough.
Dr Nelson is the best!!
Very patient and kind
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.
