Ernst Nieuwoudt's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Nieuwoudt is the best Doc in town. Have seen him for years, and he consistently takes excellent care of me and my medical needs. Dell O"Shields is the Head Nurse in Charge, and she runs a tight ship. Both are always prompt and considerate in replying to my questions and requests. My Chart is an excellent addition and greatly facilitates routine requests and questions. Many thanks. Keep up the great work.

Great doctor and great man. Always has time to listen and is very intelligent, doesn't miss anything.

Terrible doctor!! Treated me for an illness I didn't have. Took away meds I needed. All because I asked for a Cologard test, and he wanted me to have a colonoscopy. Isn't this still my choice? Wouldn't recommend him to the local animal shelter. Decreased my medication that I have been taking for 35 years causing a chemical change in my metabolism. Now I have priphrial neuropathy over my whole body. I also have a shaking in my hands and arms. When he first reduced my Nortriptyline from 75mg to 50mg I called and told him this was going to give me terrible digestive problems. He still wouldn't give me the 75mg. I went through weeks without a bowel movement, my stomach churned for 2 months. I lost 17 lbs. I only weighed 139 lbs. when this all started. I found a new primary care doctor. Within 2 weeks the digestive issues disappeared. I have taken the Cologard test which proved negative, The man crippled me over the kickback for a colonoscopy. Is this the doctor for you?

Dr. Nieuwoudt has taken very good care of my father. Diagnosis has been accurate every time. Has a wonderful bedside manner and genuinely cares for his patients.

The staff and Doctors are knowledgeable and honest. I have seen many doctors at this office and they all meet my needs. If you are looking for a doctor who will tell you what you want to hear, go some else. If you are looking for a doctor to do there best to help you and keep it real, This is your place.

The worst healthcare practice I have seen as far as meeting patients' needs. The departure of Dr. Katia Adams was a very sad day, because she was the only good physician there. Dr. Nieuwoudt is really lacking in any sensitivity towards his patients' needs and under the misconception that his way is the only right way. In fairness the staff has always been friendly, and appointment wait times are short. It's their office policies and Dr. Nieuwoudt's controlling and arrogant behavior that deeply tarnish this facility.

Gave my dad dibetic meds. And he's not a diabetic, on top of that he was on blood pressure meds. And you can't take certain blood pressure meds with diebeties meds. Well thank God he lived through it but it was a close call. He will never be seen by them agin!

They deserve to be shut down, I work in a Drs office and for the staff at this place to be so inconsiderate is insane... so if you’d like to be put on a medication that you have reactions and side effects from... and like calling an entire week leaving messages for no return call then this is the place for you! My husband comes here, but not for long...they told him they’re “busy”, well we get busy at my drs office too and guess what we call patients back same day or the following day not a week later.... absolutely uncalled for!

Dr. Neva Alta has been our doctor for many years. He is able to diagnose problems very well. One instance was when I mentioned I had one tiny sore spot on left side and he recommended going downstairs (very convenient) to Imaging Center for a scan. The scan showed what the doctor suspected - gallstones. He is so good in talking with us about what’s going on, is friendly and caring.

If you want to be a participant in your own healthcare, avoid this doctor. He believes it's his job to tell you what to do, and your job to obey. I don't see medicine like that. If you do, you'll get along with him just fine. He's pleasant and friendly when you are obedient.
