A year ago, Dr. Nelson operated on my wife, Katherine, for colon cancer.The surgery was a success not solely because or Dr. Nelson's skills as a surgeon. Dr.Nelson offered compassion and reasurrance to myKatie and continue to demonstrate that same prefesionalism during after care. My wife is now approaching eighty six years and the past year would not have been possible without the courage that Dr. Nelson demonstrated throughout our association. With deepest gratitude, Hermann B.
