Let me start by saying that I have been a bothersome patient. And unlike most physicians these days, Dr. Neiman explained everything, and took time to answer each and every one of my many, many questions. Every few years, I suffer from fluid behind my ear drums, and it makes me completely insane. About 5 years ago, I saw Dr. Neiman for the first time (my ears had been blocked for several months) and I was able to hear after one visit.
This time, I got an infection that caused my eardrum to rupture. I live about 250 miles away now, so I had to see a different doctor. After two visits, and feeling worse each time I saw this new ENT, I decided to make the trip back to Akron to see Dr. Neiman. Unfortunately, draining my ears was not an option, as I had scarring from an ear tube that the previous doctor had put in, and taken out 4 days later. I nearly broke down crying in his office, as the ear fullness and dizziness had kept me awake and unable to eat for the better part of two weeks.
Dr. Neiman seemingly explored every option, and came up with a non-surgical plan to help my ears drain. As someone mentioned before, he seems to try a lot of more natural remedies before just writing a prescription, or preforming surgery. In my opinion, what makes him a great doctor is not just his obvious ability and knowledge, but his bedside manner. He seems to genuinely CARE about his patients, and takes time to address any concerns or fears that he or she may have. He is comforting, experienced, and clearly knows his stuff.
I highly recommend Dr. Neiman for sinus/ear problems -- particularly if you're looking to treat children or someone or someone who is nervous is a medical setting.
Also, the nurse and receptionist are top-notch, friendly people.
