Susan Nelson was very personable and professional. My husband and I visit various specialists and follow routine preventative checkups with them. It has been17 years since we've visited a GP. Once I learned of the JH Community Practice in Frederick, I scheduled initial appointments to join the practice.We live near Urbana and I hope at a future date, limited offices hours will be available.

I had previously been assigned to a primary care physician who was NOT a fit. I suffered through this non-productive relationship (doctor-to-patient) for nearly nine years. It was difficult to connect my health care objectives to her style of care. I discovered Dr. Susan Nelson by chance. I am so delighted that we connected. She is exactly the type of attentive doctor I was hoping to identify.
