Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Nelson performed CABG surgery on me in April of 2022, anfter discovering that I had an 99% blockage of the LAD (widow maker) and I couldn’t be happier with my outcome. Her decisions to preform the surgery and the method she selected left me feeling amazing and being discharged five days later, with no after effects. Two months later I was released to normal activities and returned to a normal lifestyle. I couldn’t be more pleased and relieved with Dr. Nelson’s performance and would recommend her to anyone requiring any cardiovascular surgery. She was an angel delivered into my life and she delivered me from certain death! Thank you Karen!

About Me

care philosophy

I try to put myself in my patient's shoes so I am more sensitive to their situation. It is my goal to treat the whole person and encourage patients to ask questions so they understand their condition and plan of care. This allows the patient and their family to be engaged in their care and recovery.
