Jul-2024
From the moment, Dr. Nieman entered my room, he gave me his full attention. He carefully listened to my concerns about the pain in my knee, asked me several questions, and conducted a thorough examination. Having already reviewed my x-rays, he discussed the available treatment options with me. When I mentioned my youngest son’s upcoming wedding (less than one month away) and my worries about it, he promptly reassured me by explaining in simple terms, how he planned to address my injury, ensuring that I would be ready for the wedding.His confident and composed demeanor, put me at ease and relieve more of my anxiety than I had experience in the past week. A friend had told me to go see him, and that was excellent information given to me!
