Better than expected
Dr Nelson was very kind and listened to me. I really appreciate that
I highly recommend Dr Nelson
Dr. Nelson is a wonderful doctor. I appreciate how he listens and his thoughtful approach. I would recommend him highly. Before the appointment, a nursing assistant did my weight and blood pressure. I have noticed in many Froedtert clinics the assistants who take blood pressures often get inaccurate readings. Please remind them to 1) wait until the patient has settled for a few minutes before taking the test 2) make sure that the cuff is the right size. Thank you!

Very qualified doctor and staff.
Dr. Nelson is the best. He is the kindest and most caring doctor I've ever had. He makes me feel seen and understood.
Dr Nelson has helped me before, and did not disappoint this time. He shows concerns for my situation, explains things carefully, and offers options for treatment. I trust him, and feel confident that he will do what he can to help me. The entire experience with the staff was good. The reasons for my "fair" description of the appointment process is due to the fact that I waited too long on the phone before getting a scheduler (weeks ago) and had to wait far too long to get to in to see Dr Nelson. I want to say it was worth the wait, but, my pain did not appreciate the wait, nor did my husband who saw me hurting.
The woman that checked me in was very very nice person, she was extremely helpful,courteous, had a smile on her face. Dr. Nelson was excellent, went over my MRI, and gave me a number of options for treatment. Was very respectful. Told me if I felt I needed further assistance, he said just call him.
I finally feel like I got my questions answered on my condition thank you
I really appreciate Dr Nelson's expertise and care. He is very knowledgeable but also very compassionate and kind. I have recommended him and the entire clinic to many family members and friends.'
Excellent care
Dr. Nelson is so calm, pleasant, polite, always looks at whoever is talking, responds immediately to any questions, and at the end of the appointment he said " thank you for coming today "! I have never heard that from anyone before. Dr. Nelson definitely gets an A+ from me!
After waiting several weeks to get in, experiencing acute pain for so many days, Dr. Nelson was an answer to my prayers! He listened to all my concerns; I never felt rushed, and he was the perfect blend of personal and professional, putting me at ease. I left feeling encouraged that my healing was going in the right direction--and if the progress didn't continue, I could/should call or text him at any time! Thank you, Dr. Nelson, for your expertise and wonderful "bedside manner"!
