Breakouts may occur from time to time during any stage of life. Persistent breakouts, or acne, may seem to clear before the next flare up begins. Acne is a skin condition in which inflammation occurs subsequent to clogged pores. Pores clog as oil and sebum, a waxy substance, accumulate with dead skin cells within these tiny holes.
Most people do not associate dandruff with a need to visit the dermatologist. Millions of people experience dandruff, a condition in which the skin on the scalp becomes dry and flaky. Dandruff may not pose a risk to your health, but it can certainly be an embarrassing and difficult to overcome problem.
A small amount of hair loss, from 40 to 100 hairs a day, is perfectly normal. Your hair follicles cycle through various stages, ideally growing new hairs at the same rate as they are shed. At any given time, about ten percent of follicles in a healthy scalp will be resting and shedding hair. The remainder of the follicles is in the active growth phase, creating, or lengthening hairs.
There are several different varieties of moles, each classified by its unique characteristics and location in the skin. Most people have one or more moles, with one in 100 babies having moles at birth. By the time we reach our thirties and forties, we may have several dozen moles across our body. These growths may be various colors, but should be only one color within a single growth.

Pretty poor service, long wait times, very brief consultation, was given conflicting information, went back twice and told the doctor I couldn't afford $400 bottle of shampoo and lotion every month( cost after insurance). Clearly their main business is purely cosmetics, if you have an actual skin disorder (like Psoriasis or Eczema), they can't tell you much you didn't already know.

Worst medical office and Dermatologist Ever ! They rushed my first appointment like no even Explained to me my skin condition, or gave me time to ask questions. Then my Pharmacy notified about the medication being Back ordered or Unavailable , so that he could switch from Lotion to ointment or cream, or to a different medication. Dr Neal just never cared. I called about it, Left 2 messages with the receptionist, and 1 month later Dr decided to contact the pharmacy. Then in my second appointment He was capable to argue with me about that matter, Claiming the Pharmacy just didn’t want to give me

I visited Dr. Neals Stafford location for the 2nd time and was very satisfied. Staff is efficient and professional. Front desk and assistant's in back are polite and courteous. Dr Neal is very courteous, professional and knowledgeable and makes you feel comfortable. He readily answers any questions you have and explains your condition and treatment.
I would recommend this dermatologist to anyone.

Stafford Office: This is the worst doctor EVER!!! Had a growth on my face, so they cut it open and took a sample. The butcher job they did on it will cost me about $5000 to fix from a plastic surgeon who was appalled how bad it was done. Then, had to call consistently for 2 weeks leaving messages which went unanswered, then they said they got the pathology back. I asked to pick it up and they refused to release it to me without a big fee. Is this even legal when my insurance paid for the pathology? So, now I have to go to yet another doctor to have another biopsy done and wait another 2 weeks

Dr. Neal and his team have been great providers. If you are looking for extensive hand-holding, this may not be the office for you. If you want informed, communicative, top-notch medical care, this is definitely the place. Dr. Neal removed a basal cell carcinoma that another provider missed (which healed beautifully) and is continuing to provide care for several additional issues. I appreciate that he is willing to listen to my concerns about my health and my desire to pursue the simplest treatment first. His office staff are terrific, and it is easy to get a timely appointment.

I went to Dr. Neil for Laser Hair Removal treatments in which turned out to be a pretty easy and simple experience. I am very pleased with the outcome of the treatments and got the exact expected results from what Dr. Neil described to me during my first consultation with him. He and his staff are both knowledgeable and courteous and make you feel very comfortable as soon as you walk into the office. I will definitely be returning for any dermatology needs that may potentially arise in the future.

I'm really happy with my visit to this office even though I didn't get done what I was hoping to get done. I didn't experience any of the problems other reviewers complained about. The office waiting area is small and no frills but what do you want like a playground? Bring a book to read and you won't even notice it. The front desk woman was very nice and helpful so was the nurse in the room with Dr. Neal. As I said, I didn't get done what I was hoping to get done because the doctor warned me of some possible complications and I completely trust his judgement. (Now I know

Last year went for in for my first cancer screening for my skin. Dr Neal did an extremely fast scan in less than 5 minutes. Guess what? I went to another dermatologist last week and I have skin cancer. Not a good experience with the office staff either. I will tell my primary doctor not to refer anyone else to this practice as this was the only reason I went to this office.

Unpleasant, old and dirty office. Legal paperwork required me to agree or disagree to receiving sales materials for cosmetic procedures about my daughter. When I didn't want to sign, I was told that she could not see the doctor.
There is no legal need for them to have this information. They won't be seeing me back.

My daughter and me both are patients of Dr. Neal and we really like him. He took his time to answer all my questions before my daughter had a bigger procedure and he was always very patient and gentle with my preteen daughter. Dr. Neal’s staff is wonderful as well. I have rarely come across doctor offices where everything is just right. We will continue to see him for our skincare needs and would recommend him.

I'm very surprised by all the negative reviews. I was referred by a friend to this office and have been seeing Dr. Neal for about 10 years off and on for various issues. He is knowledgeable, has great bedside manner, and the staff are professional. My only complaint is you have to pay to park in the lot and they only take cash. I always forget!

HORRIBLE PLEASE AVOID. I came even though I saw the bad reviews, which turned out to be SOOOO accurate. The doctor came it looked any my skin and scalp for less then a minute. Then like the other person commented he gave me a prescription that was already written out. I honestly don't think he is a doctor. Also forgot to mention when the nurse asked me what I'm allergic to she didn't know how to pronounce or spell penicillin. In the end I was in and out of my appointment in under 10min. The perception he gave me was over $100, and he said apply it to the red spots on my scalp. When

I saw Dr Neal for the treatment of cystic acne. I was given a prescription with three refills, which worked great. Dr Neal himself was knowledgeable enough and the treatment worked.
The problem came when I went to receive the last refill. I had attempted to make an appointment through their website in order to receive a new prescription and address some new dermatologic concerns, but nobody ever contacted me regarding my appointment.
When I tried to fill the prescription, the last refill, the insurance required a doctor's authorization because I had a birthday; I was now a year older

Do not go here. The doctor barely talks to you, the nurse tells you the follow up, and they charge and exorbitant price for the most minor procedures. On top of it their staff is incompetent. They forgot to give my blood orders and I had to come back for no reason. Cherry on top? Going to the people downstairs that took my blood and having the biggest bruise on my arm for two full days. PASS!!!!!!

I can't rate the dr since I never got to see him. The receptionist was very rude and wouldn't let me be seen since I didn't have my insurance card even though they had all the info(ID and group #). Said I could bring the card back, but nope they wouldn't let me seen. Didn't even try to call or ask. Lost my business!

Pros: Dr. Neal was attentive and seemed to have solved my problem. Very good bedside manner. Very nice doctor.
Cons: Billing wouldn't let me see the doctor without first paying the co-pay. I didn't have my insurance card on me and I couldn't get access to it, so I had to look up the number on the insurance website using my smartphone. Front desk staff offered no help, other doctors have allowed me to e-mail to it them.
Wrote me a script for a $200 bottle of topical cream, when two samples of the product would have been suffice. The pharmacist said there were plenty of more inexpensive

I assumed I was an odd case until I saw the above reviews. I too have been charged for services not rendered, and just received a collection notice from a collection company on it. I went there in 2009... and just recieved now in Dec of 2011. Brutal. Avoid at all costs.
Oh - and the actual service was bad - he spent 5 minutes with me and it cost 600. This 600 was charged multiple times.
