Carol B. Nelson, MD
History of Client Focused Care
I am a board-certified neurologist and have been practicing medicine since 1995. I have spent my career focusing on the subspecialty of headache management.
I grew up in Viborg, SD and have lived in South Dakota my entire life, aside from the three years spent in Vermont for neurology residency.
I have a true passion for headache management, and I find joy in improving the quality of life of any headache sufferer.
My other passions include my family, reading, writing, kayaking, paddle boarding, horseback riding and competing in triathlons.
I would love the privilege of assisting with your healthcare needs.
