As a proud Texas native, Dr. Robert Neal strives to serve his family of dental patients with warmth and compassion, and has done so for more than 20 years. Dr. Neal attended Baylor University, graduating in 1991 with a bachelor’s degree in secondary education. For two years he taught high school science and coached cross country and track before returning to school to learn dentistry. He earned his D.D.S. degree in 1997 from Baylor College of Dentistry.
After completing his dental degree, Dr. Neal sought membership opportunities in a number of professional organizations, including the Texas Dental Association and the American Dental Association. He has served as every officer position for the North Texas Dental Society, including president, and currently sits on the peer review committee. He has been honored with several distinctions, including 2006 Dentist of the Year by Frisco Style Magazine, and 2010, 2015 and 2021 Dentist of the Year by the North Texas Dental Society. He was nominated in 2010, 2015 and 2021 for Dentist of the Year by the Texas Dental Association. In 2024, Dr. Neal was inducted to the International College of Dentists. This was a monumental honor, as less than 3% of dentists worldwide are a part of this organization. He is proud to be included with the best of the best!
Dr. Neal actively participates in community causes, donating his time to several charities, including lifelong service to the Ducks Unlimited Wetland Conservation Program. He’s also an avid snowboarder, sailor, hunter, fisherman, camper, runner, and golfer.
