Highly experienced, competent, caring, with friendly and respectful bedside manners. Dr Neault has performed two complex shoulder replacement surgeries on me with excellent results, and has been treating my knees for nearly 20 years. I am exceedingly grateful to Dr Neault. In particular, for his help when I had severe cases of trauma while other orthopedic surgeons refused to help me and, simply, suggested knee replacements.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
