The first-rate in every regard!
If you want less waiting times you need to schedule for mornings. You do a good job caring and treating for your patients. Generally seems like he cares for the work he does. Would recommend this doctor or surgeon.
Excellent care all around. Very pleased. You have the top Doctors and care.
The PA was attentive and very thorough. I asked a question and he got actual parts they use for hip replacement. Xray tech was nice. Dr Nielsen explained xray and gave me chance to ask questions. Great team. Great appointment. Have great faith that hip replacement & team will be successful. The PA & Dr Nielson were very concerned abuut me and wanted me to feel confident and in the know.
Dr. Neilson is, and has always been, professional, warm and friendly. I sincerely appreciate my visits with him and would recommend him to anyone.
I'm was nervous about my appointment but everyone made me feel comfortable and relaxed, allowed questions and never made me feel rushed. I felt I was the only patient there and the focus was only on me.
I would go to no other orthopedic doctor than Dr Neilson
I was so happy to get in quickly with my hip and muscle problem.
Everyone we had contact with were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our visits with each of them.
Showed concern and explanations were good and all out questions answered without feeling rushed.
Everyone has been very professional and compassionate. They gave me the courage to have both knees replaced and I am pleased with the outcome. A great team overall.
Very impressed with all aspects of my appointment. The location of the building and parking information you provided before my appointment made my experience smooth and completely hassle free. Thank you.
This referral was made by an orthopedic surgeon to Dr Neilson and the staff made all appointments. I accepted whatever they had available.
Dr. Nielsen and staff were very professional, courteous, and helpful. I would highly recommend this provider to anyone who needs orthopedic care!
Getting an appointment is most difficult. Doctor and staff are great
Very pleased
Despite the wait, it was an enjoyable meeting with the care team. Listened and provided feedback well.
Keep up the awesome job
They all were great
That all talked to me like a person not just another patient.
Dr Neilson removed my cancer. He has been supportive, caring, concerned, honest. His people' are of the same quality. I always recommend Froedtert Cancer Center
I was so happy to get a good report from Dr. Neilson today. Went for a half hour walk with the dogs when I got home.
For the last 5 years I have gone to Dr. Neilson and his staff. Dr. Neilson is excellent and his entire staff is always excellent. Thank you.
DR. NEILSON AND HIS STAFF ARE AMAZING IN THE CONCERN THAT THEY ALL SHOWED FROM LOOKING AT MY FRIST CT AND CALLING ME BACK TO SCHEDULE AN MRI, TO MY FIRSET OFFICE VISIT AND GETTING SCHEDULED FOR SURGERY RIGHT AWAY. ALL OF AFTER SURGERY CONCERNS WERE ADDRESSED QUICKLY AND COMPLETELY PRIOR TO MY FIRST POST SUGICAL VISIT ALL THE WAY TO MY LAST VISIT THEY ARE A GREAT TEAM AND ALL WORK VERY WELL TOGETHER.
I think Dr Neilson is a pleasure to work with and has treated me in the best way, exceeding my expectations. He's terrific and his staff members reflect his same courtesy and attention to detail.
Very easy to talk too. Explanations were good.
Dr is a good person - like him a lot. He helped to fix me a few years ago and continues to have my best interest. His team runs like a well oiled machine. Thank you very much!
I waited one hour past my appointment time to get into an exam room; however, Dr Neilson is ALWAYS worth the wait to speak to. He is an amazing surgeon and worth his weight in gold
I met with both the PA and the doctor. Both were good, but PA had more time and explained more to me.
