Dr nilson was so patient when explaining procedures to my.mom. I would recommend him to anyone who needs foot and ankle care.
Dr. Nilson was friendly, professional, explained what was causing pain and what next steps would be. He really listened, and asked questions to have a good understanding of what issue I was experiencing. The staff was also super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!
Dr Nilson was delightful and easy to understand.
Great service!
He was calm, patient, and took the time to throughly explain everything, including the procedure and what to expect during recovery. I never felt rushed during the appointment, and he made sure all of my questions were answered.
Dr. Nilson is the best ! Before, during, and after my nail surgeries all has gone very well because of his excellent care.
