Insurances accepted
Baylor Scott & White has established agreements with several types of insurance to ensure your health needs are covered.
Insurance listings are subject to change without prior notice.
Please call your physician's office or your health or insurance plan to verify coverage information prior to scheduling your visit or procedure. Not all members participating in contracted networks have "in network" access. In network participation may change from time to time without prior notice. Independent providers (which could include, for example only, anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, emergency medicine physicians, advance practice professionals, and other independent providers of health care services) may deliver part of your care, and such providers may be considered out-of-network on your health and insurance plans even if the Facility may be considered in network. If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: (877) 810-0372. This list is updated annually and is subject to change without prior notice.

Overview of patient comments
Summary created using AI
Patient comments are gathered from our Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey and are displayed in their entirety. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.
Patients appreciate
Dr. Brian Knieriem receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from patients who consistently praise his professionalism, thoroughness, and exceptional bedside manner. Patients frequently describe him as kind, friendly, and caring, with many noting that he takes his time during appointments and makes them feel valued and heard. His communication skills are particularly commended, as patients appreciate how he explains everything clearly without medical jargon, answers all questions thoroughly, and listens attentively to their concerns. Many reviews highlight his knowledge and expertise in eye care, with several long-term patients expressing happiness about his return from retirement. His personable approach, including one patient mentioning that he prays with them, creates a comfortable and reassuring environment that reduces patient anxiety.
Patients also share
The primary area for improvement identified in the reviews relates to wait times. Several patients mentioned experiencing significant delays, with one specifically noting a 35-minute wait after the nurse's initial interview before seeing the provider. While patients generally acknowledge that Dr. Knieriem remains pleasant and professional even when running behind schedule, the extended waiting periods detract from an otherwise positive experience. One patient also mentioned that while the provider had excellent bedside manner when treating a scratched cornea, some ongoing symptoms like tenderness, blurry vision, and light sensitivity were not fully addressed beyond being told they were normal.
