Dr. John Nitsche, MD

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.

This doctor is the most caring, and compassionate with me at every single visit. For over 20 years, he has taken great care of me, and I will recommend this doctor to anyone seeking a rheumatologist. I couldn't ask for a better doctor. I wish, that I could give a 10 star review, but only 5 is allowed. Simply outstanding!

I am happy to share this review, as I have been under Dr. Nitsche's care for almost 5 years. I have always found him to be thorough, skilled and meticulous. He, as well as his staff have consistently been caring and courteous. It is rare to find such competence and compassion in a physician. I would recommend Dr. Nitsche and the entire staff at Hand Center of LA without hesitation.

Dr. John Nitsche declared that my swollen knees and wrists were a psychosomatic symptom of depression. He took me off of the medications that were keeping the swelling down so I could get rid of my IUD to "work on getting married." Rude staff, ridiculous doctor. Zero out of five, he is a huge waste of time and an insult to the medical profession.

Dr. Nitsche demonstrates the knowledge and compassion required to effectively treat patients affected with chronic illnesses like rheumatoid arthritis. The time and effort that he gives to each visit is not only impressive, it is comforting and consistently reassuring.

Dr. Nitsche has been by Rheumatologist for several years. He is a caring physician. He spends time with me at every visit to answer my questions and evaluate my problems. My arthritis is doing better under his care.

Services were rendered by Dr. Nitche. He was never on time for the appointments and I had to wait sometimes for over an hour. It appeared I was there to service his needs instead of his servicing my medical needs. I had an appointment with him on the day my husband was due to have open hear surgery. After waiting for over an hour to be seen I mention to him about the long waits. I was told if I did not like it I could go see someone else that his time was more important. 30 min wait time laugh.

If Dr Nitsche was rude to you, it’s you! Not him. One of the nicest Dr I have ever met!!

I come from Folsom to Metairie to see Dr. Nitsche. He has taken care of my arthritis for over 5 years and I am feeling better. Very warm and friendly staff.

Dr. Nitsche has been my Rheumatologist for five years. My arthritis is doing better with treatment he has prescribed. He is kind and always takes the time to talk with me about my problems

IF YOU NEED A GOOD DOCTOR , DR NITSCHE IS THE MAN. HIS YEARS IN PRATICE,HAS GIVEN HIM THE ABILITY AND KNOWLEDGE TO GIVE VERY GOOD ADVICE, AND TREATMENT. I AM SO GLAD DR MORGAN SENT ME TO HIM OVER 15 YEARS AGO. I REALLY DO THINK HE HAS HELP ME STAY AS HEALTH AS I CAN BE WITH MY CONDITIONS

He has helped me with chronic pains for a number of years. He has always taken a great deal of his time to try to help me.

THIS DOCTOR IS EXTREMELY RUDE! Beware!!!

The wait time is horrible!! Over 2+ hours He tells me do blood.work every 6 weeks (which I do) and he will gladly go fill my medication for.RA. He says i can't stop the meds or skip a dose but yet I reschedule ONE appointment due to work duties and he would not.fill my meds until I was.seen. Maybe an appointment and of course month and half away. So no meds for my RA for 2 months. I am swelling and in pain.

Dr. Nitsche has been my rheumatologist for over 10 years. He has always taken the time that is necessary to hear my complaints and help and try to solve my problems.

Dr. Nitsche has been treating me for many years,my arthritis is under control and i would recommend him to family and friends.

Dr. Nitsche took the time to understand the problems I was having and after a few visits found the right combination of medication to ease the pain I was experiencing. I became a patient of Dr. Nitsche based on the recommendation of others, they were so right!

This narcissistic excuse for a doctor must be writing his own praises. Seems to be more concerned with not spending more than the allotted 10 minutes with a patient than actually trying to be of help. Has absolutely no regard or respect for patients time or actual care. Find out for yourself if you must, but I can not recommend, particularly after being abandoned in an exam room for almost 2 hours.

One of my favorite doctors. He has taken good care of me since 1997.

My Rheumatologist for 28 years. Always takes his time with me. Has helped me through many problems over the years.
