"Brad, you were such a HUGE hit! All of us in attendance thank you for your targeted presentation...Thank you too for your multiple, perfectly timed comments on Philips and the FlexCare toothbrush--you brought a warm and humorous tie to our company and key product, and I so appreciate the positive mentions. Your program was excellent!...I hope to recommend and work with you again in the future.  Thank you for the deep belly laughs that lead to good health--I thought you and your presentation were PERFECT!!"

"ER meets Seinfeld."
--"MomSense" Magazine

"Hats off to the Healthy Humorist® and his timely message about incorporating more laughter into our lives!  From his opening line he had the audience of 2000 members laughing, and there was no lag time during his entire 60-minute presentation.  His delivery and comic timing were impeccable.  His material is clever, clean, and insightful.  He's a Jerry Seinfeld of the medical profession with his hilarious observations.  As one coder said to me later, 'Our jobs are so stressful.  It felt good to sit there and laugh!'  If it were up to me, Dr. Nieder would be my choice for a keynote every year.  We can all stand to lighten up and enjoy ourselves a little more, and that message came through loud and clear in the presentation."
--Melanie Mestas, Speaker Coordinator, American Academy of Professional Coders

"A doctor-approved laugh session."
--"5280," Denver's Mile-High Magazine, "Top Doctors" Issue

"Thank you so much for the fantastic presentation, 'Laughter is the Best Medicine'...It was the perfect opening for our annual conference and set the mood for the rest of the week.  Thanks also for taking the time to research our daily activities and weave some of the widely used acronyms and Tyson sayings into your presentation.  That made the program uniquely ours and gave it a hilarious personal touch.  I literally had tears running down my cheeks, and I was not alone."
--David Embrey, RN, Tyson Foods

"Thank you so much for making our annual dinner such a memorable one.  The guests haven't stopped talking about it.   Many of them indicated it was the best dinner ever--for sure it was the funniest!  When Dr. Brad speaks, people listen--and laugh even more!  There wasn't a dry eye in the audience, as they were all filled with tears of laughter."
--Karen Aalbregtse, Operations Manager, Volusia Health Network 

"Brad has a remarkable talent in math!"
--Mrs. Noia, Brad's 6th grade pre-algebra teacher

"As I was sitting in the audience during your presentation one of my colleagues passed me a note that said, 'one of the best keynotes ever.'  As meeting planners, we see a lot of keynote speakers, so that is high praise.  Many people stopped me after the session ended to ask how they could hire you to speak to their organizations.  It was fun to share some belly laughs, giggles, and even a few groans ... You are definitely on my short list and I will share your information...I hope our paths will cross again."
--Teresa Eyet, Manager--Education Programs, American Health Care Association (AHCA)

"I got my RDA for laughter, and then some!"
--Anne Hazelton, M.D.

--Sharon Freeark, Director of Advertising, Nielsen Business Media

"You received rave reviews and a score of 4.9 out of 5 on the evaluations--not an easy accomplishment...The participants felt you made great connections with the home care field.  Everyone thought your humor mixed with the reality of day-to-day medicine was the best way to end a symposium--reminding us how to laugh with all the challenges that we face daily.  Many of those surveyed commented they would like to have you return.  Thank you for helping us see the joy and laughter in what we do each day ... We left laughing and educated.  What else could we ask for?!"
--Barbara McCann, Vice President and Chief Clinical Officer, Interim Healthcare, Inc.

--Jill Van Dinter, LCSW, Program Manager, National Multiple Sclerosis Society

"I can't thank you enough for speaking before our agency...I believe the theme of your presentation--'laughter is the best medicine'--will go a long way toward keeping our staff productive and healthy ...

"You really hit a home run
with your 'Laughter is the Best Medicine' presentation to our group of health care leaders at Poudre Valley Health System.  Of the 267 completed surveys, 237 of them ranked your presentation as the most valuable part of the meeting.  Here is a sample of the MANY favorable comments we received: 'fantastic,' 'awesome,' 'wonderful message,' 'good advice,' 'just what we needed,' 'I haven't laughed that much in a long time,' 'the laughter was invaluable,' 'really made me feel good.'  It was great to look around the room and see all my colleagues completely engaged and enjoying themselves so thoroughly in such a funny and uplifting experience.  We in health care are engaged in a very serious business, but we often take ourselves too seriously.  Your presentation really helped us look at ourselves a little differently, and remember some of the reasons why we have chosen our professions.  Thanks again!"
--Robert B. Carpenter, Laboratory Director, Poudre Valley Health System

"WOW!  What a great time we had with The Healthy Humorist®, a.k.a. Dr. Brad Nieder.  From the moment the doctors started arriving for our annual holiday celebration, I knew that we were in for a treat!  I was particularly impressed that he was able to bring smiles to the faces of all who attended--even those who are the last to laugh at anything!  His wit rivals anything that appears on late-night television.  I would highly recommend The Healthy Humorist® for any occasion that calls for continuous laughter and a great time.  Our dinner this year was the best in many, many years.  Dr. Brad made it a fun and enjoyable evening for all of us.  We would not hesitate to bring him back for an encore."
--Joyce Miller, Manager, Medical Staff Services, Centura Health

"A HEARTY RECOMMENDATION!!  Thank you so much for making our first "Amazing in Aging" event a smashing success!  You had the 500 participants eating out of your hand from the get-go....From your dog MD routine, to having fun with medical terminology...it was a laugh a minute.  We had calls and letters from our members thanking us for this great event, and many said they hadn't laughed that hard in years!!! Of course, you do realize you have created a big problem for me now.  You raised the bar...programs in the future will pale in comparison.
P.S.  Thanks for jumping back into the ER doc mode--people also wrote to tell us how well that was handled under the unusual circumstances."

--Pam Clayton, President, Ethica Health & Retirement Communities
