Brad Nieder, MDBRAD NIEDER, M.D.

 

"Laughter is the Best Medicine"

Some call him the Funny Doctor. Some call him the Phunny Physician. To most, though, he's know as the Healthy Humorist. Dr. Nieder prescribes a dose of laughter for anyone. After all, laughter is the best medicine. Well, maybe penicillin is better. And aspirin is good too. But laughter is still quite effective at reducing stress, managing pain and boosting the immune system. In the workplace, it can enhance communication, aid creativity and improve productivity. And when Dr. Brad speaks, it's contagious!

How did this doctor become "Dr. Funny"? While at Stanford University, he became the founding member in the SIMPS improv comedy troupe. During medical school at the University of Colorado, Brad frequently performed standup comedy throughout Denver for both live audiences...and cadavers. He then took his unique style to the East Coast when he went to the Medical College of Virginia for his residency training. Currently, he is a general practitioner in Denver who is a specialist in Healthy Humor.
