How likely are you to recommend Dr. Nelson?
Dr. Nelson saved my life. 20 years I have been wondering what is wrong with me. All the health care pros kept saying it was just depression. She figured it out almost straight away. 3 hour initial interview. And 40 minute sessions. This is unheard of. Proper care, highly intelligent and experienced. So non-threatening and chill. Down to earth. Warm and friendly lady. She literally saved my life. I knew she would.
