“Exceptional Doctor”

I had an experience that it old fashioned. Dr. Nelson saw me the same day I called and at the appointment scheduled me for surgery the next day. He was booked so he came in early to make it happen. We meet him at the office before it was opened.
He fixed my almost severed fingertip and now I'm well on my way to using it again. I was so impressed in his quality of care. I highly recommend him!

“Trusted and Comforting Experience”

Dr. Nelson had previously provided outstanding care and treatment for both my Son and my Wife. When it came time for me to address my Carpel Tunnel symptoms, it only made sense to entrust Dr. Nelson with my care. Dr. Nelson and his staff displayed outstanding confidence, which made me extremely comfortable with my decision to address my Carpel Tunnel ailment. The decision to choose Dr. Nelson was absolutely the correct decision for both my family and myself!

“Excellent experience from pre-op to post-op, received the best care!”

My experience from the start was excellent, I was apprehensive and worried about having my carpal tunnel surgeries, however my worries were quickly not a concern with the kind and compassionate care of all of the staff at the Southington Surgery Center and of course with Dr. Andrew Nelson. Dr.Nelson reviewed what should be expected prior to surgery and also wanted to make sure that I was comfortable with having any questions answered after my surgery. I am very pleased and would highly recommend Dr. Andrew Nelson and his wonderful staff! Thank you to Dr. John Satterfield, Jess and Stephanie for your extra special touches of kindness!

“A+ Experience for Surgery on Finger - Staff and Facilities”

I rate an A+ for my whole experience of having finger surgery
for the doctor, staff and facilities. Everyone was considerate
and professional and kind. Everything along the way before and after was carefully in detail explained to me. I would highly
recommend this doctor, staff and facility to anyone needing surgery.
