He was thorough and quick.
Dr.Neidecker was amazing. I was very nervous and he put my mind at ease,he was very friendly and professional. I didn't have to wait long at all for the best service.
Dr. Neidecker has been seeing my family for years. When my daughter broke her arm, it was a no-brainer to bring her to see him. Even at 3 years old, I didn’t feel he need to find a pediatric orthopedic specialist because I knew the level of care I would receive with him. Very genuine guy and doesn’t sugar coat the issue or the appointment!
Dr. Neidecker and his staff are awesome! He takes his time with his patients and explains everything to where you can actually understand it. He also gives good advice and helpful information on your condition. Give him a try and you will be glad you did!
Very pleasant
Dr. Neidecker is excellent. I’ve been going to him for over 7 years and when he moved his office location, I more than willingly drove the extra distance to continue seeing him at his new location. He is knowledgeable and very efficient.
Best orthopaedic doctor at your practice.
Short and sweet - in and out - just like I like it
Dr. Neidecker is a great physician. He is very knowledgeable and thorough. He helps you understand exactly what was injured, how long it will take to heal, and when ready, what exercises can be done to help get it strong again.
Love Dr. Neidecker! He’s great with the kids, very relatable and awesome with parents too!
