He then entered Tulane University School of Medicine and earned his Doctor of Medicine degree in 1986. These formative years prepared him for a demanding career that combined medicine with leadership.
After medical school, Neil began a surgical internship at Boston University Medical Center. The experience provided valuable insight into the high-pressure environment of hospital-based care. Following this, he returned to New York to pursue a residency in anesthesiology at New York University Medical Center. His interest in the field grew, prompting him to complete a fellowship in cardiac anesthesia at NYU. The advanced training enhanced his skill set, allowing him to participate in complex procedures that required precise clinical judgment.
In 1990, Neil began working with Sheridan Healthcare in Hollywood, Florida. Over the next six years, he served in several roles, including Director of Cardiac Anesthesia. He contributed to the company's growth by assisting with new contract development and supporting operations outside of Florida. Alongside his clinical responsibilities, Neil became involved in essential administrative functions, including billing systems, staff scheduling, and regulatory compliance.
In 1996, Neil relocated to New Jersey and joined Summit Anesthesia Associates. The group provided anesthesia services at various hospitals, including Mountainside Hospital and Trinitas Regional Medical Center. He served as a physician and managing partner, and by 1999, he assumed the role of managing member.

In 2012, following a debilitating stroke, he stepped away from clinical practice.
In 2016, Neil joined Omniscient Financial LLC, a family-owned business specializing in equipment financing and financial compliance. He contributed to the company’s operations and remained in this role until 2024. This role allowed him to apply his healthcare management knowledge in a new context.
In 2024, Neil took on a leadership role with Diabetic Practice Solutions LLC. This organization was established to support healthcare providers in delivering structured diabetes care while achieving administrative and operational objectives. Neil worked to help practices improve patient outcomes while also supporting better financial performance.

He is a member of the Society for Ambulatory Anesthesia and the American Society of Anesthesiologists. His board certification in anesthesiology was first earned in 1991 and voluntarily renewed in 2008.
In 2019, Neil relocated to Boca Raton, Florida, after spending over twenty years in New Jersey. This transition allowed him to be closer to family and shift his focus to new professional pursuits.
