It was great. I can think of nothing.

I can't think of a way that my visit could have improved. Dr.Nelson listened to my description of my current symptoms and carefully examined the new xrays and my knee and leg and discussed options to treat my pain.

Nothing more. Dr. Nelson was great.

If it wasn't for the shift clinic, I wouldn't have been able to be seen.

I was on a "WAIT-LIST" But my doctor definitely corrected that. She knows my medical history and has my best interest in mind

Everyone was thoughtful & caring during my visit. Might have been the best care I've received from a PRISMA Health facility in years! Can't think of anything that would have improved my visit.

The only negative was the wait time for the doctor to come into the room, but that seems common these days. Everything else was great.

Dr. Nelson and all others were super great, including the X-ray technician. Dr. Nelson is always so helpful in identifying the problem.

There is no room for improvement. Dr Nelson has helped me with my shoulder pain tremendously! I have absolutely nothing bad to say about her, her staff, or the facility!
