I was impressed with the amount of care Dr. Nels Dahlgren showed. His office staff however, did not reflect this. They were only satisfactory. I thank him for his understanding and thorough exam and treatments.

What I was most impressed with was Dr. Nels Dahlgren's sincerity, and compassion. That was quite refreshing to see. Lately, you don't see that in a doctor's office anymore.

"Dr. Nels Dahlgren is an absolute professional! He's very communicative and responsive when corresponding via texts. He's also extremely knowledgeable and helpful with any issues that I come in with. He also deals with my insurance company so that I don't have to. I first went to him for numbness in my wrist (carpal tunnel) and he suggested that I see a surgeon to have it corrected. Each appointment, he'll follow up and remind me to schedule a surgery date (I'm dragging my feet on it). I've also seen him for back issues that we'll resume working on once my carpal tunnel is resolved. He's always so friendly and the conversation is fun and light. Time goes by so fast during every appointment! He also has his therapy pup in office sometimes, and he's an absolute lovebug! Highly recommended!"

I met with Dr. Nels Dahlgren before and after having extensive spinal fusion - a time period of several months. He always patiently explained why and how the medications that he prescribed were going to be effective at managing my pain.
