Very good . He has an easy way to discuss things with him. Good personality. Uses good judgment to improve the patients issue. Have been very, very pleased with him. Does not push to get surgery.

I cannot say enough about Dr. Neal. I'm glad there are people like him who devote themselves to repairing our lives. I just about had my leg taken off in a motorcycle accident, He fixed me up and did it with a caring and friendly attitude.

Dr. Neal is one of the best Ortho Surgeons in the area. My wife had a knee injury and no one else could pinpoint the actual problem. He took the time necessary to give a proper diagnosis and got her in surgery and recovery quickly. She is no pain free and has had no recurrent issues. Dr. Neal's staff is polite and we never had to wait longer than 10 minutes.

Dr. Neal takes his time with you. Sometimes the office wait is 15 minutes because he is giving a patient his full attention and is listening to that patient. Rest assured he will give you the same attention. Some of us have more ailments than others, and Dr. Neal is thorough in his examination of each patient. He is friendly, compassionate, and thoughtful to your needs. For a yound doctor, he has an old school bedside manner :-) It's not about time, insurance, and money with Dr. Neal. It's all about me, the patient, and how he can best make me feel better and help me. Office staff is very pleasant, helpful, and friendly.

I had pain in my hand everyday until I started to get treatment by Dr. Neal. He diagnosed my rare diagnosis and got me the proper treatment right away. I am so grateful for his staff and medical team.

Dr. Neal is a rare find in the medical community. He has a wonderful bedside manner and is genuinely concerned about his patients. He reminds me of a country doctor in his integrety and conservitive treatments. Even though he is outside my insurance network, I would not consider seeing any other Orthopedist. I wish there were more doctors like him.
