In patients' words
"My husband & I have been seeing Erich for over 20 years. He always listens and he NEVER goes with most expensive fix first unless there aren't any alternatives."
— Patient review, Vitals"I am switching after experiencing difficulty with Dr. Niehaus and his office in following up after lab work... I have had difficulty with this office in follow through, assistance in getting referred to a specialist and overall making me feel like they even care that I am a patient."
— Patient review, Vitals"Brandon may be good at cutting, but he is horrible when it comes to post op care. I would not let this man touch another family member."
— Patient review, Healthgrades"Dr. Dukes listens well, explains well, and provides good options and reasonable alternatives. She is very responsive and takes great care to find good treatments."
