I can't express how thankful and lucky I am to be a patient of Dr. Mark. He has this comforting, almost dad-like presence that immediately puts you at ease_you can tell he genuinely cares about you, not just as a patient, but as a person. He brings a lot of common sense and clarity to every conversation, which is incredibly grounding, especially during stressful times. His room presence is truly unmatched_it makes a big difference in how I feel during each visit. Even when I come in with a team of people, he takes the time to really listen and connect_not just with me, but with everyone in the room. That kind of attentiveness and respect is rare. On top of all that, he's simply a skilled and knowledgeable doctor across the board. I feel truly fortunate to be in his care.

The entire process from diagnosis of my knee issue to completion of the surgery was seamless. Dr Mark Neault provided me with all the information and the surgical process in detail so that I felt very comfortable going into it. The entire team of nurses, anesthesiologist, and surgeon was very professional and everything went according to plan. I'll recommend Dr Mark Neault and Northwestern Medical to all of my peers medic orthopedic surgery.
