The best pediatric neurologist I have known. Very caring and extremely knowledgeable in his medical field.
Dr. Niesen has helped our family out so much. He's great at what he does and has compassion towards the families that are struggling with Autism and other disabilities. With anything theres trial and error but working together we have managed to get things just right. Our family is completely grateful for your knowledge and expertise. Thank you, -The Quinones Family
Dr Niesen is one of a kind. Besides being a caring Nuerologist, he really takes the time to know his patients and seek the best course of action. Seizures are constantly changing and needing medicine adjusting and he keeps up on the latest drug and combinations to beat & treat symptoms and have long lasting results. He's kind, personable, interested and always looking for the best for his patients. He is constantly researching asking questions of the environment and daily living activities and finding latest medicine that won't harm the body/organs. Most of all he listens to the parents and makes himself available whether in Saturday appointments and web calls and most of all in times of crisis. Thank you Dr.Nisen and caring for my son the past 10 plus years.
