Dr. Nathaniel Neal, MD

I have seen the Dr, for several years and I totally recommend him. He has a lot of experience on his field, and he has always tried to find the best treatment approach for me. He takes the time to check on lab results, does physical examination on every visit, and ask for any specific symptoms related to the illness, as well as any medication side-effects.

I’ve been a patient for several years and have felt listened to, respected and always had time to answer all my questions. I have both osteoarthritis and a variety of rheumatoid arthritis. Dr Neal takes time to explain which is the problem & what type of treatment will help me make my life more comfortable. I think some of the complaints on this site are due to him taking the time to treat each person with respect they’re due. This can cause appointments times to run late.

He was my doctor for 5 or 6 years and the best I have ever had. I am hoping to speak with him soon. Have been out of the country for 27 years now back and need to call and get a top referral from him I live east coast now.Dr. Neal was and still is the best .

Office staff courteous and Dr Neal very knowledgeable and caring.

I have been with Dr Neal’s office for several years. He always has taken his time with me even though I know he is extremely busy. I receive treatments at the office so spends few hours there because of that. I am able to see the way he rushes between rooms when he finishes with each patient. This being said I also am able to observe how long he spends in the room. I had to move and made sure to stay in area so I could remain his patient. Very caring doctor. I would recommend him to anyone.

He listened to me and every pain and complaint I had. Incredibly thorough and proactive in doing appropriate testing. I would recommend him to my family and friends. Appointment easy to get and very short wait time once there.

Dr. Neal has been my Rheumatologist for 20 years. He has eased my pain and kept me mobile. He is up on all the new medication and does research on this awful disease. His staff is great and he doesn't have a large turnover. His office is clean and pleasant Most importantly, he treats you like a human being with dignity and respect. To him you are a real live person, that hurts and he does his best to help you. He is one of the very best people I have ever met. As a physician he is amazing

This office is a nitemare. My first appointment I waited almost two hours to be seen. When I got into the room they couldn't find my paperwork. Also upon checking in I was never greeted until I walked back up again 20 mins later ask for my new patiiwt papework. I needed an authorization for tests to be done. I had to call twice and by the time my appointment came around 3 weeks later they still didn't so the authorization. The front desk gals are very rude and have so empathy.

Truly the worst staff I have ever encountered for the worst condition I've ever suffered. Dr. Neal tries hard but a couple of red flags most importantly my medical records stayed in the computer system in Long Beach and he was not allowed access to them when he moved to Los Alamitos. I also felt he gave me what I wanted for meds, not what he had knowledge of. There are better doctors. Find one.

I would NEVER recommend this dr. to ANYONE!!! ...unless you like to pay or have your insurance pay around $250 per visit to watch him look at the computer, ignore questions & then send you on your way....when I lost my insurance, the treatment was even worse!! His head nurse retired and the girl that took over has NO IDEA how to treat patients or people in general...WORST EXPERIENCE EVER W/A DOCTOR..& that's when I had insurance, now I have medi-cal & the dr's have been GREAT!!! ..go figure!!

Dr. Neal is extremely knowledgeable and he always spends as much time as I need to answer all my questions and consider the next step in my treatment plan. I have great faith in him and my health is much improved since I started seeing him 5 years ago.

I have been a patient of Dr Neal for years & I plan on REMAINING!! He is a great Dr! He always listens, takes his time 2 tend 2 ALL of my needs & requests, & most of a he never makes me feel rushed! Dr Neal is also very informative & extremely passionate!! I am very ill & he understands that, I apprec Dr Neal & he even comes 2 visit me in the hospital-on a SUNDAY NIGHT...just an overall GREAT guy!!??
