I don't like writing negative reviews but the public must be aware of what Dr. Niesen did to me during surgery. I went in for a standard hernia repair and laparoscopic procedure. During the process Dr. Niesen ripped my spleen in half and had to cauterize it to make it stop bleeding. I lost 800ml of blood and had a collapsed lung. They went out to my wife to start a transfusion and asked what her blood type is. What makes this worse is what the doctor did after the event. I had to get pulmonary assistance for a month and the doctor never told me exactly what happened. In fact he appeared to try and conceal what happened. I was lucky enough to have an honest nurse to tell me the real facts. Then he took it to a new level and blamed my anatomy as the reason! He never apologized or explained what the truth was. I had thousands of dollars of additional bills and his office was not even courteous enough to retract their charges despite the malpractice. The nurse said he was in a hurry and running behind schedule, which is why he ruined my spleen. I will now have to take medicine to address the loss of my spleen. Beware!!! He has good reviews but I promise this is the truth.
