Patient Satisfaction
Leave a review
How likely are you to recommend Dr. Nelsen?
I’ve been seeing Dr. Nelsen for many years for a myriad of things. She’s attentive, understanding, on-time, suggests therapies, medications, etc., for the conditions I have and understands patients’ situations can fall into grey areas where extra care and understanding is needed. When my mom came to Elk Grove from Oregon to get treatment for triple negative breast cancer Dr. Nelsen saw her immediately and coordinated her care with the UCD Cancer Center. My mom is with the angels but I’m so grateful Dr. Nelsen was her Dr too. I’m grateful Dr. Nelsen is my Dr as her care for my health concerns and medications has been top notch. Dr. Nelsen will definitely be missed by all those who are seen by her when she retires.
