"My visit with Dr.Nelson himself was great. But prior to him coming in I had two nurses in the room. The one nurse who did my blood pressure was super nice and helpful. The other nurse who was taking my information like my medications and previous surgeries was not pleasant. As a nurse you should know how to look up and spell at least the beginning of a medication but she could not. I did explain to her prior that I had a lot of medications and she may want to write them down and go back and add them to computer. However she proceeded to type one letter at a time for like 25 prescriptions. She then got mad cause there were so many prescriptions and told me this is too much I’m just going to have to write the rest and add them in later. She was very unprofessional with eye rolling and attitude and deep gasps she would make as rolling her eyes. Like is said the visit with Dr. Nelson himself was great so they will get the stars for him but definitely not for the one out of the two nurses in the room with me ."

During my last visit though I personally feel that much has changed , you know I have a fatty liver ultrasound is also saying that my pancreas is fatty . I'm not feeling very well , our last visit was very short and personally I didn't get much out of it besides the ultrasound in New Roads and a phone call from your office telling me that everything is alright . I guess I have to believe that , eventhough I'm not feeling like everything is alright . So wish me luck Dr. Nelson thanks"
