Great
Very good demeanor - handled my daughter's injury well. Very thorough explanation and provided details regarding her thumbs that weren't noticed!
He's always easy to speak with and is so knowledgeable about different concerns and treatment options. Appreciate his insight every time we come!
Dr. N is the best. Love his sense of humor. He is direct and gets to the point in his explanations; easy to understand; approachable.
Doctor seemed like he had somewhere else to be. Felt incredibly rushed and he continued to talk fast and talk over me. Saw him for all of two minutes.
John provides clear professional care. Five star service.
Not only is he an amazing doctor, he has great bedside manner and he assures you that you are a patient and not just a chart number. Highly recommend!
Quickly explained everything and told me whats next.
I would’ve liked to see the X-Ray and hear compare/contrast images from last year. Also would’ve liked to get more time and insight into what has caused the pain and a longterm treatment option.
Dr Neidecker always takes the time to listen and to answer questions. He also provides the client with options, and the client decides on the path forward.
