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.

Excellent Provider
I started to flare a few months ago. He regained control of my situation very quickly. I am finally to a place where I can go a year without seeing him. I could not be happier to hear those words. Love him but happy to see less of him.

Amazing doctor
Dr N is so thorough, taking his time Reviewing all your records in the chart, asking questions, and actually listening. He recommends current and future treatments as well and goes over the treatment plan he recommends. He is friendly, compassionate, caring and has a good sense of humor. I highly recommend him, especially for complicated health issues. He is treating me for a variety of health problems and considers the best options for me given my history and GI concerns.

Great bedside manners and communicator@
Dr. Nesheiwait has awesome bedside manners. He sits next to you and speaks in terminology understandable to the patient. He asks how you feel about plan of care after he presents it. He really is straightforward and honest with the patient. If a plan of care is outside of his scope of care or one of which he's feels uncomfortable, he will let you know. He will be upfront with you and suggest a practitioner suitable for your particular concern. Another thing that I like about Dr. N. Is that he explains your condition well and sets out tentative courses of action, and he discusses with you and gets your feelings on that particular plan of care. I highly recommend him for his expertise and involvement of the patient in their care. Above all, I respect his honesty and candidness.

Caring and Thorough Doctor. One of the Best Ever!
I recently moved here and my family doctor set me up with Dr NESHEIWAT for my RA. She said he was the best. I was very impressed and pleased. He was thorough, listened well, took extra time to go over my records, to evaluate my complicated health issues. He was able to retrieve my medical records from the other state I lived in. I found him to be knowledgeable, trustworthy, honest personable and attentive. After seeing him I realized what little or mediocre health care I was receiving before going to him. And all of his assistant’s and front staff were very helpful and kind. I Highly Recommend him VERY much! Rachelle
