Absolutely the worse doctor ever. 2 years after total hip replacement surgery and I am worse than before my surgery. He offered unfounded/unsubstantiated explanation for pain. He referred me to another doctor who failed to connect with me, even after leaving several messages for a appointment. Do not follow his advise regarding taking an antibiotic before having any dental procedure. My PCP said this recommendation was discontinued in 2017, and following this recommendation could cause irreversible harm, including death.

I have been a patient of Dr. Nelson for about two years for both of my shoulder; a reverse replacement on one and rotator cuff repair on the other. His surgical skills and follow up care have gotten me back to a point where I haven't been in years. He is skillful, compassionate, and always available. I recommend him for your orthopedic needs.

Good doctor! Took care of my knee and I am able to move my shoulder more than after surgery on November 1. I just think that because there was no obvious reasons why my knees hurt he is done with seeing me.

Dr. Nelson was my surgeon for total hip replacement. I'm still suffering 2 years later. When I received my copy of my EOB from my healthcare provider.... he (the practice) billed my provider for an ailment that what not discussed or shared with me at the time of my appointment. He also shared with me on several follow-up appointments that I would need a antibiotic if I were to visit a dentist because of my surgery. I learned this week, from my PCP, that this requirement is false. In 2017, the AMA said this requirement was no... read more

Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. Nelson care and he is extremely good at what he does. I have had 4 Knee surgeries by other physicians (ACL tear/repair, Cartilage tear/repair, arthritis) and Dr. Nelson corrected the problem. I have no pain or issues

Nice at first. When I was in recovery he was a complete jerk. On follow-up visits he was even more disrespectful. I complained of pain on each visit and he dismissed my concerns. My PCP said if you have pain there is something wrong. I will going to another surgeon.

Had rotator cuff surgery Feb. 2019 after exhausting all other treatments I had surgery, recovery went well I recommend him very highly he was not quick to jump to surgery. I had to go back March of 2020 same arm but a seatbelt injury in Jan. 2020 he sent me for therapy no surgery no shots back and beyond where I was in Dec.before the seatbelt injury. AMD Therapy Flushing did my rehab Recommend them highly as well. All in all outstanding Doctor & staff Sincerely Kinda Cain

When I went into Dr. Nelson's office, they took an x-ray. Dr. Nelson walked into the room and said "yes, it is broken come back in 1 month" he spent exactly 5 seconds with me. When I got the bill for 150.00 above and beyond the $447.29 my insurance paid, I had to call to see if it was a mistake... Terri in billing said, "when there is a fracture, we bill it as a SURGERY because it usually consists of putting a cast on and giving a shot." I explained that I was treated in the emergency room and there was no cast, no shot, onl... read more
