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.

I have seen Dr. Nieto, he seems to me to be a great human being, an excellent doctor, very professional as well as his team, very organized and very kind. Thank you Dr. Nieto, successes and many Blessings.

I needed to see a neurosurgeon and was referred to Dr. Jaime Nieto. I prepared myself to hear that I might need surgery. I hated that idea! Instead, Dr. Nieto took the time to review all of my MRI reports and explain them to me so that I could understand what was going on. He answered all my questions and addressed all my concerns. I left his office informed and relieved! I found Dr. Nieto to be kind, understanding, reassuring, and knowledgeable.

I was sent to NYHQ for tests & ended up w/ Dr. N stopping my spinal infection from murdering me plus regaining all my bodily functions & mobilities! I can't thank Dr. N enough to let me reclaim my freedom!!

I think his bedside manner is not good at all. If he feels you are not worthy of surgery, he will easily dismiss your issues as if they are not important. And, he will have his NP only examine you. Not impressed at all.
