I will continue to visit Dr Nielsen for all my days!

Dr Nielsen helped my with some shoulder and knee pain last year. He helped me to understand the issues with my knee and suggested that I do not yet need surgery, which I am grateful for. I feel like sometimes Drs just want to get you into surgery so they can generate higher billed charges. I will continue to visit Dr Nielsen for all my days!

An awesome experience, will be the only Ortho I want to see going forward!

Dr. Nielsen was a godsend for me. I came in with a torn shoulder, and he spent time with me to go over how the injury occurred, and then he performed some mobility tests. An X-Ray was needed, which we took care of immediately with no delay, and then Dr Nielsen came back in to review the results, diagnose the problem, and treat me. I immediately was able to get some mobility back and the healing process began. He even reached back out a week later to check on me and recommend some additional rehab movements to incorporate into my workout routines. An awesome experience, will be the only Ortho I want to see going forward!

I would recommend him for knee replacements.

I had a knee replacement done by Dr. Nielsen the end of October 2018, I've been extremely pleased with my results. Dr. Nielsen and his office staff are very professional and kind. His patient assistant is a sweetheart!! She makes sure I have no concerns or need anything before I leave and makes sure I have my next visit already scheduled. I had my other knee replaced prior to this one done by a different doctor and was worried about the complications that can happen after, but Dr. Nielsen listened to my concerns and worries. He told me different ways to help lessen the change of many of the complications. I would recommend him for knee replacements.
