Within Atrium Health, we use survey results to better understand what is important to our patients and how we can improve healthcare experiences. The overall Patient Rating score comes from the questions on our Medallia Patient Experience Survey. Responses are measured on a scale, where 0 represents "very poor" and 10 represents "very good.” Those scores are shown as 1 to 5 stars on the provider’s profile.
Patient Comments
- September 3, 2023 He was very concerned and thought it out carefully.
- August 31, 2023 Extremely patient friendly, customer focused, gave me confidence in his treatment plan. Took time to explain everything along the way He even came out to the waiting room to let me know x-ray dept. would not open for 30 minutes, gave me options, I chose to wait. He is awesome! We are fortunate to have him in this clinic.
- August 28, 2023 Attentive concern. Inhaler rx. No answer for all my problems since having RSV in May

- May 26, 2023 Dr Nelson is great with answering questions I have about my health. He listens well and provides great explanations for my questions. Highly recommend.
- April 19, 2023 the team took the time to reduce the pain due to the location of the splinter under my fingernail - it seemed like a minor thing but I could see infection when they started so it was worth the visit --- good working team including nurse to take time to get my blood pressure reading
- April 18, 2023 Dr. Nelson was very attentive to my needs and concerns. He genuinely and professionally acknowledged my complaint of pain and addressed any answers I had. While prior concerns were not addressed by my previous surgeon, he was more than willing to ensure that I received additional tests/screenings to explore any potential problems and rectify them. He finally made me feel heard!
- April 13, 2023 Dr. Nelson listened to my concerns and explained the reasons why my heart was not functioning properly. He was very helpful and told me what I should do to strengthen it. He also called me back with the lab results and said I should follow up with my Primary care doctor, which I have already done.
- March 24, 2023 Love my visits to Family Practice. Feel do fortunate to be under their care!!!
- March 5, 2023 Since Dr Nelson was recently assigned to me in August, 2022, we had not had a chance to interact much. During my most recent visit, he seemed more friendly and more in his element, since he is a sports medicine physician and since my issue involved damage to my left shoulder, within his area of concentration and expertise. As a result, I felt he was more comfortable being around me and had more empathy and expressed more concern than during previous visits. Plus, he did not have a trainee with him, so his interaction was uninhibited.
- January 27, 2023 Dr Nelson was fantastic. He knew I was feeling lousy, but he asked all of the right questions, and ran all the tests that were necessary to figure out what my problems were. Then is follow-up was much welcomed the day after my tests.
- November 13, 2022 Dr. Christopher Nelson is a good listener. Seems genuinely interested in discussing problems and seeking solutions. He has a friendly manner and demeanor.
- October 3, 2022 Dr. Nelson was thoughtful, thorough, and patient with me. He listened to my concerns and tailored his feedback to my particular needs.
