Dr.McNeal saw our newborn the same week he was born with no issues! She gave a listening ear and reassurance that our baby and us as new parents are doing great. The office staff is just as attentive. Clean space with easy parking and organized for next time before I walked out the door.

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.

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.

Dr. McNeal is a parishioner and member of the choir at St. Christopher’s Catholic Church. Her hobbies include music, theatre, and yoga.
