My daughter and I were welcomed by James, (front desk receptionist) upon our arrival to our appointment. James asked me for my identification and insurance card, as he provided forms for me to sign. The lobby is kid friendly and cShow morelean. My daughter’s concerns were identified to Dr. Charles. Dr. Charles was very professional and helpful as he examined my daughter. Dr. Charles guided me on the steps to take to be able to assist my daughter’s further needs. This is our first visit. I recommend this place.

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.
