Dr.Nielson always takes care of me and that has not always been the same was previous Doctors. Sometimes you have to be more knowledgeable and dig deeper into complicated health issues instead of blowing things off. Dr. Nielson is a security blanket to me because he cares.

I have met with him for over 20 years. he is terribly busy, but takes time for me. Sometimes I think he is not listening because he doesn't laugh at my best humor.

Doctor Nielsen was very kind and knowledgeable. He was friendly and interested in what my son and I had to say and answered all of our questions. He saw us last minute in the same-day clinic and I appreciate that VERY MUCH!
