Patient Reviews
Jan 29, 2024
Dr. Nissinen was a breath of fresh air. Having suffered a TBI over twenty years ago I have had years of insomnia. I’ve been made to feel stupid by other doctors in this field. Dr. Nissinen takes his time with you to explain things & answer any questions you might have. He is very knowledgeable. I can’t recommend him as a doctor enough. Office staff is friendly too.
