How likely are you to recommend Dr. Nelson?
DR. NELSON was warm and reassuring to me, which contributed to my FAST. recovery from a Total Hip Replacement! The cocktail he gave me, I accredit with my being able to recover OFF cane in three weeks and was back to work in four! He has a FANTASTIC bedside manner!!!( I wish I had been fortunate enough to have had him for my second THR several months later)I truly appreciated his ability to make me feel 'heard'!!! I will NEVER go into an operating theater without Dr. Nelson as my Anaesthesiologist!!!!!
