Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

This was my first visit with Dr. Neely. He was extremely helpful and informative. He explained everything and made me feel very welcoming. Would definitely recommend him to anyone.

The Perfect Choice!
Dr. Neely exemplified great confidence in his procedural knowledge of heart surgery, and at the same time he and his entire team presented an extremely caring and genuine 'bedside manner.' I never felt like I was just another patient.

annual checkup
Dr. Neely is very exceptional! On top of being a cutting edge cardiovascular surgeon, he has a relaxed, approachable personality with his patients. He clearly stated the options for management of my condition with zero pressure to select one over another. I feel very comfortable and safe to be under his care. I feel fortunate to be a patient of Dr. Neely.

Dr. Neely was very attentive to me and answered my questions. He didn’t rush me and tried to explain to me in simple terms the options I have without pressuring me to choose any one in particular. He tried to help me make my own decision.

I'm almost three years post-op and my surgery and recovery went very well. I was blessed to have such excellent care. Not only is Dr. Neely an excellent surgeon, he is pleasant and easy to understand. He put me at ease before and after the surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Neely.

I’m 50 years old and Dr Neeley performed my triple bypass. He is incredible, I researched several surgeons before I decided on him. The second I met him I knew he was the one and I would live to see my kids grow old. He answered all the questions, his bedside manner was caring, his knowledge was vast, yet he spoke in a way I could understand. If you need a heart surgeon he is definitely the man!
