John J. Meehan, MD

In October 2001, Dr. Meehan was part of the surgical team at CHLA who saved our son's life after his midgut volvulus at the age of 2. Dr. Meehan and Dr. Shaul, along with their dedicated team of doctors and nurses beat the odds and despite the loss of 99% of his small intestine our son has gone on to live a "normal" life full of eating, sports and all the activities of a a typical 13 year old. Thank you Dr. Meehan! Without you and the team, none of this would be possible.

My daughter was a patient of Dr. Meehan's when he was practicing at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinic, Children's Speciality Clinic. My daughter was born with an Imperforate Anus and other female genital issues. My husband and I were very impressed with Dr. Meehan's skills and knowledge. Unfortunately, he left the UIHC and we have tremendously missed him and having him as our daughter's physician!!! He is a wonderful docotor and I would love to have him be able to see my daughter again and attend to her care. We miss his tenderness and compassion towards his patients. I would recommend Dr. Meehan to anyone that was dealing with colorectal issues in children. You have a prized possession. Danielle and Derek Ackley, parents of Gabriella Ackley age 4 now.
