Dr. Neubauer is always up to date on all aspects of medical research. He has a memory of a steel trap. Remembers important information about patients. Also shows high levels of emotional intelligence, esp empathy. He remains self aware of how he conveys himself. He has no "Dr God" complex or any airs like that about him. He's been my GP for 29 years and he's been the best physician I've had.

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.
