"I have really appreciated the expertise of Dr. Nelson. He truly cares about my kids and is so good to ask them each visit about their health and activities. He speaks not only to me but directly to my child as well. He takes the time to get to the root of the issue and then discusses all the options. I have never had long waits in the lobby or the room. The office and billing staff are wonderful as well. I am so happy we switched from our previous pediatrician, I now feel like we have the entire package at UVP! Thank you!" -Mellisa H.
