Ballad Health Medical Associates Neurology Outpatient
I grew up in Kentucky and am still a huge fan of the University of Louisville sports. I came to this area to be closer to family, and I like the outdoor activities of this region. I also enjoy tennis, music, reading and photography. I am involved in several organizations, such as Little League Baseball and LASO Swim Team. I wanted to specialize in neurology because I enjoy learning about the brain. In fact, I never get tired of learning about the nervous system. As a physician, I most enjoy my interaction with patients and actually getting to know them and being a part of making their lives better. My personal philosophy for treating patients is to always listen and to treat others the way I would want to be treated. Patients know themselves better than anybody, and the best way I can help them is to be present by listening. Dr. Niebauer is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Concussion.
