Contact UsWhat Our Patients Say
My mom recommended Dr. Nielsen as she had a very good experience with this office and I am so glad she did. I have been seeing Dr. Nielsen and Natalie Smith for quite a few years now and have always found them to be very attentive and not rushed. The office and nursing staff (Hi Dakota!) are friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend Charlottesville Orthopaedic Center!!
I cannot say enough great things about Charlottesville Orthopaedic Center! I fell and broke my wrist, called my PC and they suggested them. Natalie was awesome! The first broken bone I have ever had and I was quite nervous. The techs were great with X-rays and fitting me with a cast. After a few months of appointments I am on the road to recovery!! The ladies at the front desk are always friendly and make me feel welcome too. It is nice to know of such a great practice here in Charlottesville. Kudos!!
I was able to get a same day appointment after every other place I called turned me away. In the end, I was glad I got turned away elsewhere because I can’t imagine any other practice being more caring and understanding.
