Appreciate very much the friendly people and the care from the receptionist, the young lady that took X-rays was very helpful and instructed in what to do, and got the X-rays done with concern to make sure they were taken correctly. Comfortable to work with. Maria was nice and cheerful in getting ready for Doctor Nelson who treated my arthritis in both knees. Doctor Nelson is absolutely great and exsplained what can be done in helping me. And did so in this vist and previous one, and what to do going forward. Thankful for him and all the people whom helped me.

Dr. Nelson was wonderful throughout the entire process.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
The doctor and receptionists were great. The only hiccup is that somewhere a communication was missed. I did not know that I was to arrive much earlier to get x-rays. When I made appointment, the young lady told me my appointment was 1:30, but when I arrived, it turns out that they wanted me to arrive well-before 1:30 in order to get x-rays in time for 1:30 appointment. Otherwise, everyone was great and did a great job.
