I was hesitant because I would have to have both hands done but now that it's over it was the easiest surgery. I had 2 stitches in each wrist. I was able to take the dressing off after day 2 and shower. I was using my hands all along. After 3 weeks I am almost able to do everything except grip really tight. I am just amazed at how quickly the numbness went away and I was able to sleep so much better.
Deciding to have surgery is never an easy choice but working with Dr. Nelson, Michelle and his surgical team made it a very clear, straight forward and fairly painless experience. Living with Carpal Tunnel for almost 2 years it was time to resolve this issue. Dr. Nelson was clear in his diagnosis and understood right away that I knew the symptoms and had a working knowledge of my issue and what would be needed to fix it. We quickly confirmed my suspicions and solved it!
Anytime you have surgery its scary but everyone at the center was fantastic kudos to Dr Nelson great job Thank You
Dr. Nelson is beyond wonderful. He is thorough, knowledgeable, skilled and patient. He takes the time to go over all options of care and listens to his patients. There's no one else I would trust for the care of my hands.
All good
I had carpal tunnel surgery with Dr. Nelson in both my hands one week apart! Everyone I spoke to thought that was crazy and couldn't believe that the recovery would be as simple as explained to me.I have heard of horror stories that involved very large incisions to long and painful recovery times. This was not my experience. The procedure is less then 10 minutes and within an hour from going in I was on my way. Healing is uncomfortable but nowhere close to the pain I was living with!
i had a very positive and favorable experience. the outcome of my surgery was great. everyone in the practice was knowledgeable, helpful, professional and friendly. i will and have recommended you to friends and family.
Between verbal explanations and print-outs, the procedures were well explained, the surgery was successful. I was able to have the surgical procedure within 24 hours of an appt. It fit into my schedule very easily.
Dr. Nelson was wonderful, explained everything to me about the surgery. very pleased.
