    She is very professional and knowledgeable. She spent time explaining my condition to me. She answered all my questions. We developed a plan of treatment and a time to follow up. Besides being very knowledgeable, she is patient, caring, easy to talk with, and very nice. I felt very comfortable with Dr. Nelson and would highly recommend her.
