Our pediatric office has been taking care of the children of McKinney and surrounding areas for more than 35 years. Dr. Neal started the practice in a little house across the street from the McKinney hospital. Since then the office has moved and is now caring for the children and sometimes grandchildren of Dr. Neal's original patients. Dr. Vernier joined Dr. Neal in 1997 and their practice now consists of the two of them, another pediatrician, Dr. Rita Joe-Yu, a part-time pediatrician, Dr. Elizabeth Lessner, and a pediatric nurse practioner, Amy Lindgren.
