Dr Neiner n Greg are so awesome.Very helpful and kind. I highly recommend Dr Niener. I wish all doctors were like him. He has done several Mohs surgeries on me and you can barely see my scars.He’s very knowledgeable and loves his job. His bed side manner is awesome. He makes you very comfortable and treats you like a friend.He’s by far one of the best doctors I’ve ever had.You will love him.Greg is so kind and knowledgable. He always takes great care of me.Dr Nieners staff are all very professional. They call several times to make sure I’m feeling good.You will love them.
Very nice office. Staff were pleasant and very professional. Minimal wait time took place. Dr Garcia is superb! Dr Metzinger is outstanding! Both have great, very pleasing “bedside manners.” Excellent experience in a first rate practice! I’ve now had three MOHS procedures for basal cell cancers on my face. I’m very pleased with the results; both Dr Neiner and Dr Owen are very professional and friendly, and they are highly skilled. Greg, the nurse, was outstanding as well. This is a superb medical practice. And, Dr Neiner is superb in dealing with skin cancer.Wonderful and efficient practice. Saw Dr Neiner again today for another skin cancer. He’s the best!! Great skin cancer specialist.As always, excellent and very efficient care again today. It’s amazing how nice the staff are; very patient oriented. Great medical practice!!08/13/25Back to see Dr Neiner and his nurse(Greg) again today for skin cancer follow up. Two more biopsies were done. As always, this is an outstanding practice. Everyone is cordial and nice; wait times are very short; and quality of care is superb!! Very pleasant environment!Greg is a very nice, attentive person. Dr Neiner is a wonderful skin cancer specialist and superb MOHS surgeon. Following the healing process, one can hardly detect that facial surgery had been done! To me, MOHS by him is preferable to IG-SRT, which is much more time consuming for treatment of basal cell cancer.
The care I received at Sonterra Dermatology was outstanding. The promptness of the appointment and the efficiency of the staff makes the experience a 10 out of 10. I completed Mohs surgery with Dr. Neiner and will not go to anyone else in the future. I can't thank them enough.
Dr. James Neiner is an excellent dermatologist. He is the only doctor who has been able to take care of my psoriasis after over 15 years of dealing with it. I cannot be more pleased.
Dr Neiner and staff are superb!
