Dr Nelson treated my special needs sister in the hospital under extraordinary circumstances . He oversaw her critical care and gave me huge peace of mind in a messed hospital system ( Advent) where the social work was threatening to deny care, a teaching nurse was pushing her stranger students into my sisters treatment rooms without permission  and other horrible events . 
Dr Nelson was a voice of reason and an excellent diagnostician . I highly recommend him , not the Advent hospital .
