Ryan L. Neff's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Neff is personable and I really liked him after the initial consult. He did only spend about 10 minutes with me but it seemed a fairly straightforward situation. After scheduling the surgery around his busy calendar and some fixed dates in mine, we found a day that worked. I took that day off work. Then his office called me at 3 pm the day before the procedure to cancel because of an emergency. We rescheduled for a date 4 weeks later, again because of his full schedule. Again i scheduled the day off work. Then unbelievably I AGAIN got a call from his office at 3 pm the day before the procedure for an emergency cancellation. I understand one emergency cancellation, but two? I waited a total of 3 months just to have the surgery cancelled. I liked Dr. Neff but my time is valuable too. I will find someone else who can commit to a time/date and stick with it.

Dr. Neff performed left inguinal hernia surgery on me about 3 and a half months ago. I highly recommend this surgeon. Everything went smoothly from initial consultation to follow up after surgery, to now. I found the staff at his office and the nurses on surgery day to be very professional and pleasant. I couldn't imagine a better experience. Really. I'm as good as new.

Based on his both interpersonal skills and surgical skills. He has his prepared scripts to say to your face, if you ask questions that are out of his scripts, he takes personal and responds inappropriately. He didn't comment about how well the surgery went although the patient ended up with more cuts than what he specified originally. He is a general surgeon not a specialist but so arrogant though his skills don't make him qualify for a bad a$$. Mercy doesn't hire good ones.

I had two Lipomas surgically removed by Dr. Neff two years ago. Everything went as planned and they have not returned. Mission accomplished!!

Awesome surgeon...

The receptionist in his office has NO people skills and is extremely rude! I have never been treated this poorly by any physician office personal. He on the other hand was very pleasant to talk too.

Excellent Dr for my gallbladder surgery.

Overall nice guy, but a little too casual for comfort. I've had a swollen lymph node in my armpit for 4 months now. Ultrasound showed 2.8cm long in November. He said wait 3 months and if not decreased he'd biopsy it. I got a 2nd opinion thru Barnes while waiting and they measured it at 3cm. Meeting with him today (3 month checkup a few weeks early) and he tried to tell me it wasn't there anymore. I pointed out where it was and that I can still feel a golf ball moving around in my armpit when doing activities or putting on deodorant. It's very easy to find in there. When I showed him where it was he then said that lymph nodes don't cause pain and whatever pain in my armpit I have wasn't from the lymph node. I know what the pain in my armpit is coming from and it's the lymph node. The pain has been there from day one of it swelling up. Extremely dismissive over a potential underlying serious issue. For that reason I would not recommend.
