Meghan M. McAnally, MD, MPH

I am a child neurologist with subspecialty training in neuromuscular medicine, and I care for children and young adults with suspected or confirmed neuromuscular disorders. My clinical practice is rooted in comprehensive, patient-centered care, delivered within a multidisciplinary framework.

My expertise includes neuromuscular ultrasound and electrodiagnostic testing, such as electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies. I see patients in the Comprehensive Neuromuscular Center and have experience diagnosing and treating a wide range of neuromuscular diseases, including the use of disease-modifying therapies. My primary clinical and research interests focus on rare genetic disorders like congenital myasthenic syndrome (CMS) and hereditary neuropathies, including Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT). I completed advanced training in neuromuscular and neurogenetic disorders of childhood at the National Institutes of Health (NINDS), where I developed a strong foundation in clinical research, trial development and gene-based therapies.

I am passionate about advancing clinical care, research and education in neuromuscular medicine. My work is driven by a commitment to expanding access to innovative research opportunities and emerging treatments for patients with rare neuromuscular diseases. I have led natural history studies and interventional clinical trials, always with the goal of improving diagnosis, understanding disease mechanisms and advancing therapeutic development.

Outside of work, I enjoy cooking and baking, going for nature walks and spending time with my family.
