My condolences. I knew Dr. Copeland through my work at Central Baptist Hospital. He was an excellent surgeon, kind and respectful. I am sorry for your loss.

Nelson was one of the best physicians I´ve known. His intellect, empathy and compassion knew no limits. He will be found in the halls of bigone physicians who dedicate all to care for those in need. He is fondly missed, highly respected, and always held in most highest esteem.
