Our Practice

Our first priority is to practice with a patient-centered attitude. This is based on our patient’s individual needs. We offer personalized, professional, and a friendly healthcare environment where we can practice our values and beliefs.

  • Our first priority is to build trusting relationships with our patients.
  • We want to know your needs and values so we can help you achieve your goals.
  • We offer patients choices and options that YOU make based on your individual needs.
  • It is your health, your time and your money, and therefore, we believe you should choose based on treatment options and consequences.
  • Our commitment to each of our patients is to always strive to deliver the best we are capable of delivering.
  • This is why Dr. Neal still takes nearly 200 hours of advanced post-graduate training per year.
