Physician, Professor
Primary Care - General Internal Medicine
Department: Internal Medicine
I am Neeraj Tayal, MD, and I specialize in internal medicine with a focus on preventive care, diabetes, hypertension and on cardiovascular risk reduction. My practice focuses on helping adults stay healthy, prevent disease and manage chronic and complex medical conditions over time.
I believe that excellent primary care is built on strong relationships, evidence-based medicine and proactive population health management. I partner with my patients to help them understand their health, prevent future illness and make informed decisions that align with their goals and values.
In addition to patient care, I dedicate much of my career to advancing how care is delivered. I have led initiatives to improve care quality, expand patient access to care and enhance healthcare through tools such as remote patient monitoring, electronic health records and preventive health programs.
I am passionate about using technology and clinical data to strengthen patient care. My work has focused on helping patients stay up-to-date with preventive services, improving chronic disease management, enhancing communication between patients and clinicians and supporting care beyond the traditional office visit.
Patients appreciate my willingness to listen, clearly explain medical concerns and collaborate on practical care plans that fit into their lives.
Outside of medicine, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, cooking, gardening, and exploring the connections between healthy food, healthy lifestyles and long-term wellness.

All good!
Always aware of my concerns and addresses them
Excellent listener. Explained in detail a question that I posed regarding alcohol consumption and my current medications. His explanation gave me greater insight into what I need to do for myself to avoid my alcohol intake offsetting the positive affects of my heart medications. Explaining without preaching is a skill. Dr. Tayal always brings discussions like this back to the team effort and he's here to help me understand but it's always my choice.
Dr. Tayal really knows my condition and cares about my health and situation. I'm grateful that he's my primary care provider.

Caring individual. Answered all my questions. Did not cut corners or hurried up to go to the next patients.
Look, I like Dr Tayal but I felt very dismissed by him this time. I've been having pain for several years that I only brought up to him last year. I saw him again because it's gotten worse, he ran tests for what the signs were pointing to, but those tests were negative. So.i get told to take ibuprofen and bring it up again if it gets worse? Based on my age, this pain isn't normal, and it's having an impact on my daily life, even if it's not a 10 of 10 on the pain scale constantly. Why is the default "oh you're youngish, just live in pain until it gets worse or you're older?"
He's a good guy. Visit went fine.
