PA Nelson was attentive, knowledgeable, listened to my concerns and advised me on current treatment as well as longer term solutions
Fantastic! Great service and knowledgeable and helpful!
Outstanding communication, thorough examination and partner in care.
Really awesome physician assistant
Gosh what a godsend. I injured my knee randomly last week and visited the ER where nothing really materialized. It was so easy to get an appointment and she zeroed in on what she thought might be the issue. An MRI has been ordered and we will go from there. It just feels good to have somewhat of a plan. Everyone there was super nice and efficient at getting you in and out. Thank you so much.
Great bedside manner and explanation for condition and treatment options.
Friendly, knowledgeable, would see her again
I enjoyed Kristie's attitude and all information she provided for me She was very kind and gentle I would definitely see her again
