Provider. Skilled. Pleasant
The provider was excellent, gave me all the information, told me exactly what he was going to do during the procedure. I was very satisfied. Thank you, and I will end this.
Dr. Neel explained the procedure well and took the time to answer my questions/concerns. During the procedure he communicated next steps very well guiding me through the process.
Could not be more pleased.
Dr. Neel is a well respected MD and I requested him for this surgery. He is a great doctor that takes the time to offer options and discuss the best path forward. He is also a really nice guy.
