My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

The patient physician relationship is the most important aspect in developing trust in the management of an individual’s medical needs. This relationship is of utmost importance to my practice of medicine. I love treating families and knowing the medical and personal histories of the family members and how they impact each individual’s health. By having the complete picture, I can be more proactive in prevention of problems that are genetic in nature. I try to really listen to each patient, and I’ve found that often by listening carefully the diagnosis will become clear. It’s like putting a puzzle together. My main passion is to keep my patient population as healthy, happy and active as possible. Over the past few years, I have studied, attended numerous national conferences, read books and research articles on wellness and healthy aging. Research studies prove that modest interventions in diet, exercise and nutrition favorably impact the aging process in humans. Patients who have preventive screenings, early disease detection, aggressive intervention and optimal nutrition are investing in extended lifespans as well as prolonging health span - the length of time that they are able to live productively and independently. I believe my patients deserve the best care available to them. I want them to feel confident that I will be there for them throughout their journey to health and wellness. I love to laugh with my patients. I truly believe that laughter heals and a positive outlook on life is crucial to wellness and longevity.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Veale

from Janet Lisa in AL March 9, 2024 for Charles J. Veale, MD

I have known Dr. Veale many years. Before he moved to MDVIP I was a patient and a pharmaceutical rep. He has always been so compassionate, understanding, patient and knowledgeable. He gives me a thorough physical twice a year. I’m a breast cancer survivor. We were going through our treatments at the same time. He understood what I was going through and help every time I called he answered. His… See more

from Rodger in AL February 15, 2024 for Charles J. Veale, MD

Doctor Veale has been my physician for 30+ years. There's a good reason for it. He cares! He's been there for me as others in my family went through major illnesses and has kept me healthy. He's always a text or phone call away when needed. He's the best at researching whatever the medical issue is at the time and willing to listen to alternative treatments. Thanks for… See more

from Morris in AL February 11, 2024 for Charles J. Veale, MD

Dr Charles Veale has been my doctor for right at 30 years. Whenever I had problems with my asthma he always found a way to work me in. Thru the years I’ve had health issues and have always had the comfort that dr Veale would explain what was going on. If I come in and I was nervous about an issue I was having, after the exam doc would always talk about football or photography that was my sign… See more

Dr. Charles J. Veale doesn't allow himself to be fitted into a box. He stays up to speed on all medical issues and their treatments above and beyond. Though I wasn't a VIP member, because, unfortunately, so few doctors to this day understand the needed treatments and ramifications of Lyme disease, I knew it would be worth the fee to seek out Dr. Veale when it became obvious what I… See more

from Carol in AL January 18, 2024 for Charles J. Veale, MD

This past summer i had a strange but scary event where i passed out after becoming dehydrated. Dr. Veale came to my house numerous times to monitor my vitals, give instructions to my husband on what i should do, eat, drink, etc to prevent this from happening again. It was a scary event since it had never happened to me before. He came over many times, repeatedly called and EVEN canceled a… See more

from James in AL March 30, 2018 for Charles J. Veale, MD

The thing I like the most is being able to call my doctor related to any medical issue and get immediate advice or an immediate for a sit down discussion of my issues. For example, I have shingles at the current time and had a long discussion with Dr. Veale about this earlier this week. Dr. Veale is always interested in trying to get the to the cause instead of just treating the effects, and I… See more

In September of 2013, I was referred to Dr. Veale after having 13 UTIs since January of that year. Dr. Veale ran tests and put me on a regimen of bio-identical hormone therapy and natural supplements. This regimen changed the quality of my life and for that I am very grateful to Dr. Veale. He took the time to listen to me, run the necessary tests, analyze my problem, and talk in-depth about… See more
