I LOVE Dr. Nielsen. I love that she always uses my nickname when she sees me and if I have any questions, she will not only answer it, she tells me WHY

I am always happy to go see Dr. Nielsen, she's a good doctor. I always feel heard and seen. She's been one of my best care-givers at the Vanderbilt Health system. Whenever I visit with her, she takes the time to chat, is friendly and shows genuine care and concern for me as her patient. I am glad to have found her as a provider.

I have not liked a doctor this much in a long time. With some health issues Ive faced the last few years she has never steered me wrong. Appreciate her guidance and bedside manner through it all!
