Every visit with him was different. One day he’s sympathetic and his concern for patient well being seems genuine. The next visit he is impatient, almost arrogant and uninterested in listening to concerns with my condition and reactions to treatment. It’s not consistant and it came to the point where I was scared to go see him fearing what mood he’d be in. This is no way to treat your patients.

Dr Nesheiwat is always patient, encouraging, and kind. As his patient since 2013 he listens, understands, and guides me along my journey with fibromyalgia. He understands fibromyalgia syndrome inside and out and genuinely cares about improving the quality of life of his patients!!!

A doctor with two ears and one mouth. Listens and actually hears what you say. Never "rushes" you in and out ASAP. Usually about "on- time."
