During her second year of pediatric residency at Charleston West Virginia University, Dr. McNeal was appointed to the Governor’s Cabinet for Children and Families where she served for two years on the West Virginia Child Fatality Review Team. The purpose of this team was to evaluate accidental childhood deaths and recommend public policy to prevent these accidents. Dr. McNeal joined the physician staff of Dickson Medical Associates in July 2001, shortly after completing her residency program.
Dr. McNeal specializes in the health of infants, children, and adolescents from birth to age 18, managing the physical, mental and emotional well-being of patients in every stage of development.

She is very comprehensive during her well-child care visits and efficiently incorporates development and age-appropriate anticipatory guidance. Dr. McNeal quickly gains rapport with both children and their parents and helps build the bonds of a caring relationship.

Originally from Staunton Virginia, Dr. Mary McNeal and her six siblings grew up in Morehead, Kentucky. Her decision to become a physician was inspired by her mother’s career as a registered nurse.
When she is not working, Dr. McNeal and her husband, Rodney Pope, enjoy traveling and spending time with their extended families. Dr. McNeal is a parishioner and member of the choir at St. Christopher’s Catholic Church. Her hobbies include music, theatre, and yoga.
