Dr Nielsen is very great at what she does. She has seen me many times and I always feel she is trying to get to the root of my issue. She doesnt 'sugar coat anything. And shares with my wife everything. I totally appreciate that with all the HIPPA out there. She just wants to get to the bottom of whatever my issue is. She could not be more awesome, Will see her in 2 months for follow up.

I think Dr. Nielsen is terrific. I think her ability to care for her patients is meaningfully limited by the system she is a part of, for example, wait for appointment times, lack of ability to print forms for a device she was prescribing due to internet firewall, lack of responsiveness to messages on MyChart, etc.

She's really nice and helpful, I think it'd be more helpful if she had more time with patients but that's not her fault.
