Everything was going well, until I had a request to have antibiotics swapped from pills to liquid. Not even 10 minutes later the doctor calls me from his cell phone and screaming and yelling at me that who was i to question his ability as a medical professional. He stated that he went to school for so many years and no one had the right to question him. I tried to explain that i was not questioning him but i had a few questions. he yelled right over me and continued, you see you are questioning me and if you don't trust me then why did you come to me. Besides your daughter is already 11 years old and should be able to swallow pills. liquid antibiotics are only for children 6yrs and younger. and i wont be treating your daughter anymore so find yourself a new doctor and hung up on me,,,,

Dr Nieto is a true diamond in the Kern County community. His medical acumen, skills as a surgeon, and his personable approach to patient care are TOP NOTCH. We should be encouraging many more doctors with his quality and caliber. After a horrible experience with a very established Podiatric clinic in Bakersfield, I was lucky enough to be referred to Dr Nieto's care. Believe me, I will hang on to the privilege of being his patient for a long time to come.
