    Dr. Nelson is so popular that it is difficult to get a quick appointment. She is a good listener. She is able to explain medical things to patients at a level they can understand. Dr. Nelson even draws diagrams to make understanding easier. I like her professionalism and personal charm. We are very lucky to have her in our county.
