About Margarita Meehan, MD

Margarita Meehan, MD, is a pediatric neurologist with the Division of Neurology at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). She practices general pediatric neurology with dual certification in both child neurology and pediatrics.

Dr. Meehan’s interest in the brain and nervous system drew her to neurology. Working with children gives her great personal satisfaction.

“Physician-patient interaction is an art, in addition to a science,” she says.

Diagnosing neurological disorders and giving families much-needed answers is an important part of what Dr. Meehan does. “Neurology is a precise area of medicine and it requires a broad spectrum of medical knowledge,” she says.

It’s equally important to her that children and their families come away from their experiences at CHOP knowing the following: “We all care for you,” Dr. Meehan says.

About the Patient Experience Rating System

The Patient Experience Rating is an average of all responses to the care provider related questions shown above from our nationally-recognized Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. Patients that are treated in outpatient or hospital environments may receive different surveys, and the volume of responses will vary by question. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score. We are committed to true transparency. However, to ensure the comments are fair and correctly attributed, we review each one before posting to the website. We exclude entire comments that disclose patient’s protected health information, are off-topic, or include other confidential or inappropriate content. Comments will appear on provider bios only if providers have a minimum number of comments. Comments are shared internally for education purposes to ensure that we are doing our very best for the patients and families for whom we are privileged to care. The comments are submitted by patients and families and reflect their views and opinions. The comments are not endorsed by and do not reflect the views of Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
