Patient Reviews
Dec 06, 2022
I have no reservations for my upcoming knee surgery. Dr. Nelson was engaging and very professional in our first meeting. His explanation and recommendation for knee surgery was easy to understand. He addressed and answered all our questions and concerns, sincerely and simply. My husband works with several people who had knee replacement surgery done by Dr. Nelson, they are very happy with the results. A very close friend of ours had Dr. Nelson do hip surgery and was relieved immediately of his pain, we didn't hesitate to contact his office for my knee replacement. Dr. Nelson, his staff and assistants are helpful, warm and professional, I am confident our choice for knee replacement is good hands.
