Bio
Hello! I am Dr. Vanessa Neal, a Board-Certified Pediatrician working in Southern California. My mission is to provide compassionate pediatric consultations in a multilayer approach. I believe in treating the whole child and approaching a diagnosis assessing physical, emotional, and lifestyle factors. I find that working together in this way aids in uncovering the root cause of an issue and provides more effective treatments. I look forward to connecting with you!
