★★★★★★★★★★Spencer KlimekMay 2026

Craig and his team were absolutely awesome. I Lost a job due to a false positive on a drug screen. Dr. Nelson went above and beyond to help walk me through every step. I was able to get it all overturned finally and I know I would have never known who to reach out too or what to do if Dr Nelson didn’t go above and beyond and even going as far as being cc’d in emails simply to have a health professional on my side. I’ve honestly never had a doctor who would text me after hours and truly care as much as he does. I’m super excited to finally have my cdl back in working order and looking forward to what’s coming in the future. lol craig actually gets real reviews unlike other sap doctors who only want your money, if you want someone who is going to help you get back on the road making $ and not trying to just take your money . Give Dr Nelson a call today. Tell him Spencer said hello

A Truly Exceptional SAP — Craig Nelson Deserves 10 Stars Working with Craig Nelson has been one of the most supportive and life-changing experiences I’ve had in this entire process. From day one, he showed a level of compassion, patience, and understanding that is rare to find. He didn’t treat me like a case number — he treated me like a person trying to rebuild, and that meant everything. Craig went above and beyond in ways I didn’t expect. He worked with me financially and accepted far less than his original fee, not because he had to, but because he genuinely wanted to help me get back to work and get my life moving forward again. That type of integrity and heart is unmatched. He also made sure I was fully prepared for every step of my RTD process. He even provided a lab for me to take a drug test beforehand so I could walk into my official test confident and ready. That extra effort showed me he truly cares about his clients’ success, not just completing paperwork. Because of Craig’s guidance, support, and willingness to meet me where I was, I’m finally back on the path toward employment and stability. I can’t recommend him highly enough. If you’re looking for a SAP who is knowledgeable, fair, compassionate, and genuinely invested in seeing you win, Craig Nelson is the one.
