Insurances accepted
Baylor Scott & White has established agreements with several types of insurance to ensure your health needs are covered.
Insurance listings are subject to change without prior notice.
Please call your physician's office or your health or insurance plan to verify coverage information prior to scheduling your visit or procedure. Not all members participating in contracted networks have "in network" access. In network participation may change from time to time without prior notice. Independent providers (which could include, for example only, anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, emergency medicine physicians, advance practice professionals, and other independent providers of health care services) may deliver part of your care, and such providers may be considered out-of-network on your health and insurance plans even if the Facility may be considered in network. If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: (877) 810-0372. This list is updated annually and is subject to change without prior notice.

Overview of patient comments
Summary created using AI
Patient comments are gathered from our Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey and are displayed in their entirety. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.
Patients appreciate
Patients consistently praise Dr. Brian Knieriem for his thoroughness, warmth, and exceptional communication skills. Reviewers frequently highlight his ability to explain diagnoses and procedures in clear, understandable terms, ensuring patients feel informed and confident about their care. His friendly, personable demeanor and genuine concern for patient well-being are recurring themes, with many noting that he takes his time, listens carefully to concerns, and answers all questions. Several long-time patients expressed delight that he returned from retirement, describing him as the best eye doctor they have ever seen. His professionalism, knowledge, and compassionate bedside manner are among the most commonly cited strengths.
Patients also share
Opportunities for improvement are minimal given the overwhelmingly positive feedback. One patient mentioned a wait time of approximately 35 minutes after the initial nursing intake before seeing the doctor, and another noted that while the doctor was running behind schedule, he remained pleasant. One patient felt that lingering symptoms following a scratched cornea — including blurry vision, light sensitivity, and headaches — were not fully addressed beyond being told they were normal. These represent isolated concerns rather than recurring patterns across the reviews.
