Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr.Nieters is very patient, discusses and explains things well to his patients. He is very knowledgeable, treats patients like family and finds solutions to get you well. He is an excellent doctor.

My experience with Dr. Nieters has been very positive. I enjoy his professional care and feel he is always very complete in his attention to my health. I'm 72 with minor physical issues including blood pressure, blood sugar and joint pain. He has effectively addressed each of my problems.

Myself and my father, mother, and brother have been patients of Dr. Nieters for over 20 years. We’ve been pleased with his expertise and care... My father, who is 81 years old, has a complicated medical history and sees several other specialists at St. Francis in Greenwood. Recently, he decided, with our guidance, to attempt to transfer his medical records to the Columbus St. Francis primary care facility so all of his records, primary and specialists, would be in the same larger network... We were informed by Columbus Physicians Associates that if our father switched primary care providers, they would no longer accept myself, my mother, or my brother as patients... This puts the rest of us in a terribly compromised position. It reeks of a total lack of concern for patient care. And obviously we will no longer be using this office as our primary care provider... Over two decades of care and trust tossed in the waste bin. Please reconsider if you’re thinking of using this facility.

I am almost 82 and over the years have been to many different doctors both in Indiana & Florida. He is the most knowledgeable & caring doctor my wife & I have ever been too. His nurses & staff have always been outstanding with us too. We feel blessed to have him as our doctor. We would highly recommend him.

Every time I visited I felt unimportant to this man. He showed me and my spouse very little attention nor compassion. He always just rushed us out the door and collected his money. Never had a correct diagnosis and seemed liked he guessed at everything. Tries to be a psych doctor instead of a family doctor. I have a life threatening condition and he dismissed me and my wife without any notice by certified mail with no prescription refills we needed. And his office staff are some of the rudest ,

Didn't seem like he cared about our family & was in a big hurry every visit. Misdiagnosed my spouse & he has a serious life threatening condition. Always tried to psycho analyze as a psychologist & not diagnose as a family doctor. Dismissed our family from his practice after being his patient for 5 years; with no warning, no medication refills, for no reason by certified mail.

Dr Nieters is one of the best Doctors I've ever been to and I've had several due to specific illnesses. I really which he were able to be my only Dr and could treat me for everything because he had the best bedside manner of all the Doctors. He doesn't rush you through your appointment. He sits back and listens to everything and genially cares. His staff, especially Debbie, are all great! I trust him 100% and my husband and I both feel that he is the best there is!

Alpha in Columbus in – Jun 23, 2016
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Nieters?
Barely spends any time with the patient which is typical of doctors these days. Refers you to other doctors constantly even when it's something minor he could treat. Is a good listener however. My main complaint is his front office staff. They're very rude- Savannah specifically. She's argumentative and does not belong in a position in which she has to communicate with patients. I would keep seeing dr Nieters if not for his front office. Nurses have always been great!
