Dr. Nelson was the cardiology physician that took care of my husband Barry at St. Alphonsus hospital earlier this month. He was so professional, knowledgeable, kind and easy to communicate with. He answered all our concerns and questions in a way we could understand. He visited my husband 3 times daily making us feel he had Barry's best interest in mind. I would not hesitate to refer anyone needing cardiac care to Dr. Nelson.
