    Dr. Nelson is so incredible! It is rare to find a doctor like her who truly takes the time to explain everything. From the moment she enters the room she captivates the kids with her fun and caring personality. We are extremely grateful to be seen by her. We h ave seen 5 different eye doctors in the past none compare to Dr. Nelson. The compassion and kindness she gives each patient is something you can�t teach. She needs a raise!
