Dominic L. Van Nielen, MD

He is awesome! Took time to answer my questions and I felt he really cared.

Couldn’t be happier!! Thanks Doc! 👍🏻👍🏻

He gets right to the issue and explains it so you understand it. Excellent , not many take time to do this and I'd say that's top notch so to speak

He listens closely and answers questions clearly. He explains what is going on and what I can expect in the future.

Attentive, excellent listener, covered my questions before I could ask. Understood my concerns.

through explanation, kind & reassuring.

Dr Van Nielen is an excellent communicator and is so compassionate. He explains things very clearly and gives me options for my care.

So helpful and undertaking

He knew exactly what I needed and acted behind it right them in there. My life is much less painful now.

Excellent!!!

Dominic is old school. They can't get any better him in caring for his patients. The nuns would give him their coveted A+.

This is an exceptional doctor! He is obviously skilled in his field as well as personable. I felt that I received his total attention during my visit.

Appreciate his help

Nobody ever wants to have a “complication occur” when they have hip replacement surgery. When it happened to me I was very grateful that I was working with Dr. Van Nielen and his team at Everett Bone and Joint. Dr. Van Nielen told me very early on that once he did surgery on a patient, he felt an obligation to see them through the entire process, and he lived up to that statement. He communicated with me very directly and kept me informed of his concerns the entire way. We made decisions on the next steps together when this older arthritic body wasn’t quite reacting the way it should. He texted me over the holiday weekend to check on my progress, had his team take care of me while he was in surgery or out of the office (thanks Mikaela!) and showed both confidence and empathy through the entire process. And now I’m enjoying pain-free walks with my new hip and making plans to go camping. I owe a big debt of gratitude to Dr. Van Nielen and the entire Everett Bone and Joint team!

It is refreshing to have a physician who is competent, thoroughly informative, and a genuine nice person. The best!

Explained things very well. Listened. Very kind.

He personally took me to an available x-ray machine and administered it by himself. How real is that

Very satisfied he explained everything thoroughly had good bedside manners and can give a good steroid shot

Very caring and takes time to listen.

Appreciate Dr. Van Nielen listening to me and working with me on a plan of care. Thank you!

I like Dr. Van Nielen. He's very understanding and asks if I have any questions, he takes his time with me and doesn't rush even if he's running behind schedule, he's kind, polite, thorough, and very helpful.

I was extremely tired of the pain in my hip because of severe arthritis. I had a negative experience years ago and I really didn't want to have the surgery. This provider was new to the area and just starting his practice in Washington. Because he was new, it was a shorter wait time for the procedure. I am very happy I made the decision to have this physician do my procedure. He is very kind, very thorough and very good about answering any question you might have.

Dr Dom showed me respect as I worked with alternative treatment options before succumbing to surgery. I appreciate his confidence, competence, & compassion. One month out from surgery and am walking and continue making progress daily.

So pleased with my 2nd appointment with Dr Van Nielen. My knees are already better. He is very professional, knowledgeable and kind. Just the best doctor!

Compassionate, thorough, and helpful.

He was sincere and a great listener.

Took the time to go through all my questions and my verbal history. He also assisted me with immediate pain relief.

Really genuine doctor and provided his best recommendations. I trust him upon first meeting and would love to pursue a surgery with him if needed

Listened well.

Very pleased with our meeting. Looking forward to the next ones !

Dr. Van Nielen was knowledgeable and helpful. He answered all my questions. He has a friendly bedside manner. I would highly recommend him to family and friends.

He was awesome. Very down to earth, and he didn't make me feel rushed which I so appreciate. He took what I would call, the conservative approach (for now) in regards to my knee, and I appreciate that. I would like to rate him again after I have seen him a few more times. In the meantime, 5 stars stand!

DR Van Nielen is an OUTSTANDING Physician. He is very attentive, thorough and personal.

Outstanding surgeon with tremendous patient skills. One of the best I’ve ever had the pleasure of being treated by.

He is a great doctor and he helped get rid of all my pain and I’ve been highly recommend him to anybody I know

He is very kind and caring and very informative.

I really like this Dr. No b.s. tells you how and what to expect with your treatment. Honestly I'm not looking Forward to a knee replacement ,but just talking with him has put me at ease. Even though I've had 5 different knee surgeries on the same knee and kind of know what to expect. I am not worried about it one bit.

so far so good. I feel comfortable with him. I will let you know after my surgery if i feel differently..

Very knowledgeable and listened to my concerns. Very gentle injection!

Knowledgeable, compassionate, excellent Doctor.

Dr. VAN Nielen seemed like he really cared and took the time to talk to me about my issues. I will definitely come back and see him.

Went in on Oct 31st , and so far he's my favorite Ghostbuster(his costume for the day)to put a needle in my knee... Very professional , and positive for me as we looked at what's ahead for me feeling better. Welcome to the great PNW Sir!

Very thorough, explained everything and very kind.

Very professional very courteous. And knows what he’s talking about. Saved Medicare and myself a lot of money and pain.

Great bed side manner

Very nice and personable. Seemed extremely knowledgeable and explained my condition very well. Will look forward to future visits.

Dr. Van Nielen's explanation of the condition of my hips in the x-rays was very interesting and helpful. More importantly, the results of the cortisone shot in my right hip bursa far exceeded my expectations, and even my hopes. Not only did the cortisone shot relieve the pain in my hip, it completely stopped aches and pains in my right knee. I had been limping around on that knee for months and the pain is now completely gone! I don't know how long the effect will last, but I'm extremely grateful for whatever time of relief I get. In the meantime, Go Navy, Beat Army!

He's one of the coolest down to earth Dr. I personally have had the pleasure to communicate with.
