I began seeing Dr Nealis about 4 years ago. As a retired nurse, I am very careful about choosing my health care providers. Dr. Nealis had my confidence and trust at my first contact and he has continued to earn that trust. His instructions are clear, his reasoning is understandable, and I feel very comfortable under his care. Even though I strongly dislike driving to the downtown location, I will continue to do so because of my confidence in Dr. Nealis.

Referred by daughter to see Dr Nealis. A wonderful blessed experience received in meeting Dr Nealis. Easy and comfortable to talk with him as a physician. He was patient explaining and giving answers to questions which made me feel confident and supportive in his judgment to schedule Colonoscopy at the age of 80! Thank you .
