He took the time to cover my last scan and to explain all possible treatment options. I felt as though my questions and concerns were all answered clearly. I was impressed with this Doctor and feel confident that he will help me to finally get some relief from pain.

I would just like to say that I wished I had shaken hands with my doctor when he offered it. I am still having trouble getting out with people again! P.S. My knee feels great. Hope it lasts.

Very personable and relatable. I like that medical students are a part of the process. They seem to approach the case from a point of view of discovery. Asking different questions and taking notes...learning.

Dr. Neilson is the BEST Dr. and Surgeon you have on staff!! He is also very knowledgeable in his field and really knows how to put one at ease when describing procedures and the care afterwards. I wouldn't even consider seeing anyone else but him!!
