I am greatful for Dr. Clayton Nelson, he listened to me and he hear me. Dr. Nelson gave me a chance to explain why I was there and what I am experiencing with my condition. Dr. Nelson didn't rush me that's what I like. Dr. Nelson, did surgery on me several years ago and before my surgery he had a conversation with me about my health and that ment a lot to me.

I am so glad that my rheumatologist referred me to Dr. Nelson. I did have to wait eight months for my first appointment, however, it was so worth waiting for. Dr. Nelson has an extremely nice bedside manner, explained everything and even drew a picture so that I could further understand what The surgery entailed. I very highly recommend Dr. Nelson and I will never go anywhere else.
