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.

Few years ago, I was in lot of pain and distress and had a suspition for Lupus or RA diagnosis. Waited 2 months for appointment. Dr. Neiman was a first Rheumatologist and what a nightmare it was. He was disrespectful, rude, shouted at me, ordered a complex lab work but didn't care to explain them to me. l left with no explanation, solution or support. He wasn't interested to make a follow up appointment.

Another misdiagnosis but this one is unique, he diagnosed me before our first meeting and before receiving any of my medical records or history. I found Dr Neiman to be bullying, prideful and easy displaced from his objectivity that must remain solid to perform his duties. I felt belittled and out of control of my medical decisions, I did not know the results of any of my lab tests and was shouted at for asking questions about his prescriptions. I still don’t understand why I needed to do jumping jacks, push ups, sit ups, crunches or why I needed to take my clothing off for the first visit. I still don’t understand why I went to physical therapy when his later questions made it obvious he never read their reports. I finally left when it was confirmed as a misdiagnosis but I was ordered in a raised voice to continue looking for his white whale. Don’t go alone, that was my mistake. I have a phobia of all medical settings after being his patient.

Dismissed my inflammation markers (and fibromyalgia) as solely a symptom of obesity. Not sure he ran full panel of tests. I'd say it was an off day, but it was several days...an off season?

I waited for this appointment 2 months ! He ordered a serious lab tests, but didn't even care to explain them. He was indifferent to my pain, and wasn't interested to make a follow up appointment.

Suggested some odd treatments (vitamin B-12 shots and avoiding gluten) for fatigue. I'm not sure if he thought they would work or if he's just trying placebos.
