Patients appreciate
Dr. Brian Knieriem receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from patients who consistently praise his professionalism, thoroughness, and exceptional communication skills. Patients repeatedly highlight his ability to explain complex medical information in clear, understandable terms and his willingness to take time answering questions and addressing concerns. His bedside manner is frequently described as kind, caring, compassionate, and friendly, with many patients noting he makes them feel comfortable and at ease during appointments. Patients appreciate his attentiveness, his thorough examinations, and his genuine concern for their well-being.

Patients also share
The primary area for improvement mentioned in reviews relates to wait times, with a few patients noting delays of 35 minutes or more before being seen by Dr. Knieriem after the initial nurse interview. One patient mentioned experiencing ongoing symptoms after a scratched cornea examination and felt those symptoms weren't fully addressed, though the doctor's manner was praised. A couple of reviews noted that while the provider was running behind schedule, he remained professional and kind despite the delays. These concerns represent a small minority of the feedback received.
