      Yes, I just wanted to say the reason we had to wait so long for her visit was that the doctor's computer was down and he needed repair made. Thank you.

      Dr. Nelson and his staff and nurse were kind, professional and through. I look forward to having a sleep study to hopefully get my blood pressure under control.

      His office staff is very accommodating to your needs/situation. Every visit I was extremely impressed with them. It's hard to find or encounter anyone (meaning office staff) that is warmhearted and genuine.

      Thank you very much, doctor. It was very nice meeting you. I enjoyed our little conversation. I'd like to get that breathing shot and some breathing pills if you could help me out there. I thank you very much and God bless you, sir, for all you do for all of us, for our lungs. Thank you so much, sir. Amen. Thank you. Bye-bye.

      They need to get their appointment fixed right. You have to wait too long when they give you an appointment. It's too long a wait after you get your appointment. They need to start changing that better.

      Dr Nelson was the provider who took the time to listen to my health issues and took the time to address every question my husband and I had. After several immediate care visits including kings daughters and ER. Dr Nelson prescribed what made me start feeling better within a couple of days. He and his staff are always courteous and professional

      The provider had charted basically, he felt like I was an addict because I was on Klonopin and Topamax for migraines, and he knew what medication I needed, but he was reluctant to give me Ritalin for my hypersomnia when I would gladly give up any medication to feel awake, to feel alert. And then he ordered a test and said, follow up in three months. So he totally put off how my hypersomnolence affects my life when I'd like to go back to work, and it's impossible with the current condition.

      The whole atmosphere at the doctor's office was happy, and the nurse and the doctor listened very well to your concerns, or the concerns that we had that day, and they adjusted some things because of the concerns that we had, and we were just really, really pleased with how well things went and you're not in there all day, you're in there and out in a timely manner. Thank you.
