Dec 17, 2021
Dr. Nitsche has been treating me for many years and has had my Arthritis in control since the first time I saw him. He and his staff put their patients first . He is patient, kind and always took his time with me. I wish him the best in his retirement and I will miss him as my doctor/friend.
