Patient Reviews
Apr 08, 2024
Doctor Nelson helped me so much. My knee was preventing me from doing the things I loved. Through his detailed program leading up to and after a total knee replacement I couldn’t be happier. I’m 3 months since my surgery and I’m almost totally back to my old routines, walking, going to the gym and playing golf. I highly recommend Dr Nelson.
