About Me

Biography

I grew up in Pittsburg, Kansas, and frequently go back there to see my wonderful mom and amazing grandpa. My late father was an OB-GYN in Pittsburg and had a huge impact on me, how I care for patients and my career path. My Christian beliefs and family are my life's focus. I enjoy and soak up spending time with my kids and husband. My hobbies include reading, dancing, working out, writing, going to church, playing with my three dogs, spending time with friends and my siblings, and watching movies.

Care Philosophy

My faith goes into my practice. Listening and communication are key to a great provider-patient relationship. I treat patients like they are family and try to convey to them that I truly care about them and their well-being. I strive to provide evidence-based care with a personalized approach.

Area of Interest

My interests center around family medicine, including the treatment of minor acute illnesses and injuries.

Vanessa has taken care of my children many times over the years at Meritas Express. She is excellent !!

06/05/2025

Very professional and took time to listen.

05/30/2025

Once again they are the best. I have a trip planned for next Saturday and they came through with the meds to make me well. . Courteous, kind, competent. Vanessa is amazing. Being connected to my primary care doctor, they have my records available In case it’s something new or different. I love this place !

05/10/2025

Vanessa was very understanding, caring and definitely cares about the individuals she sees

05/07/2025

Vanessa McAnally, FNP-C was compassionate and understanding of my issue. When the results of tests came back, she called and facilitated getting a medication for me even though I was out of state at that time. Later that day she even contacted me to make sure I had been able to get started on the medication. She is great!

05/06/2025

Vanessa was knowledgeable and considerate of my care and treatment.

05/01/2025

She wasn’t rushed and listened to my concerns.

04/24/2025

She is so kind and professional.

04/22/2025

Vanessa M. was very informative and helpful during my recent office visit. I highly recommend her for any health-related evaluation and care.

04/09/2025

Very friendly and seemed to show genuine concern with regard to my treatment. I have seen Vanessa a few times and she is wonderful.

04/09/2025

Compassionate and kind. Extremely knowledgeable. Was cautious in prescribing in the setting of my ED-hypermobile type dx.

04/08/2025

Vanessa was great. She listened to me then suggested a test which confirmed the illness. Very thorough.

03/14/2025

Vanessa was very helpful and professional.

02/24/2025

Vanessa is the best!

02/06/2025

Vanessa is kind, knowledgeable and she listens. Will definitely go back if the need arises.

01/13/2025

Vanessa was very pleasant and thorough. She answered all of my questions. I would give my interaction with her a five star rating. The reason for my three star rating is because my appointment was at 8:40 AM and I did not see Vanessa until 9 AM. On the portal it states that if the patient is more than five minutes late, the appointment will be rescheduled in order to keep everything on schedule. There was only one other patient waiting ahead of me when I arrived at 8:35am and no other patient exited before the patient waiting was called back. Yet my appointment time was delayed 20 minutes. It would have been nice for the receptionist to let me know that the appointments were running that far behind.

01/11/2025

Nurse McAnally was patient, focused and caring. She listened to me, asked all the right questions, and showed real concern for my welfare. But even more, during the post New Year snow-maggedon that shut down nearly everything, she made herself available for patients. I truly appreciate her.

01/08/2025

Vanessa was so nice, took the time to listen and care for me. The front desk staff were also very kind and welcoming. I would definitely use their service again for quick sick visits

01/01/2025

I came in on the wrong day. They looked for cancellations for me, unfortunately there weren’t any at the time. They called me back an hour later and had a cancellation. I came in for the appointment and they were awesome!

12/24/2024

I brought my daughter in and I needed to be seen myself. They found a time for me to be seen and I ended up being way more sick than I realized bc I had been caring for everyone else and not paying attention to my own symptoms. We are 24 hours on medicine and already feeling way better!!

12/19/2024

I am happy to leave a great review, I was very much in need of help and she gave me what I needed to feel better in 12 hrs.

12/19/2024

Went in with cold symptoms and Vanessa diagnosed. All went very well.

12/13/2024

Vanessa listened to issues and presented a plan to solve my issues.

11/25/2024

Love this place. So quick, so easy, and a great resource for same-day appointments. The RNs are SO caring and thoughtful - ask about your conditions but also about yourself. Truly caring. So thankful for this resource. Thanks all!

11/20/2024

Professional and got me in quick before work for my anual physical.

11/15/2024

Vanessa was professional, caring, and a very good listener. I did not feel rushed even though they were running behind when I got there. She was thorough and answered all of my questions. I would highly recommend her to everyone.

10/29/2024

My appointment was made online, I showed up a little bit early, and was admitted without any issues. The staff were friendly and efficient when checking in for my appointment. Vanessa was professional and thorough when I described my symptoms. She even let my 4 year old daughter help with the initial check up and my daughter enjoyed being able to help. I had my issue resolved quickly and the overall experience was positive.

10/16/2024

Vanessa was very friendly and personable! She took time to listen to me, ask questions, and gave me a sense that she cared. I hope she is at this location all the time!!! Thank you

10/09/2024

Vanessa is an amazing nurse practioner. She took the time to make sure we both understood my illness. Above all else she was so kind and helpful. I would highly recommend her!

10/09/2024

Vanessa very thorough and knowledgeable. Took the time to listen and took wonderful care of my son and I both.

09/27/2024

Vanessa was so incredibly kind and caring. I felt like she was definitely the doc I needed yesterday. Felt nice to be taken care of by someone who wasn’t rushing you out the door (like other doc offices). Also, I wanted to mention how much it meant to know she reviewed my health history before/during the visit. Nice touch that all Meritas information is connected. Lastly, forgot to mention I was so ill that she literally gave me the banana from her own lunch to make sure I started to feel better immediately. What a gem.

09/18/2024

Quick and pleasant visit that focused on my immediate needs of care.

09/11/2024

Muchas gracias por la atención que me dieron, muy amable la señorita de la recepción y la NP Vanessa, quien me atendió en mi consulta muy amables y eficientes. NP Vanessa me ayudó mucho con mi problema de salud, me puso mucha atención y me siento mucho mejor de salud. Muchas gracias y yo les recomiendo este lugar, por si necesitan ayuda médica.

08/23/2024

Vanessa was absolutely wonderful. Very professional, knowledgeable and caring. She explained everything and listened and answered my questions.

08/08/2024

Didn't wait long. Efficient appointment. Caring and Friendly.

06/27/2024

I experienced expedient and excellent clinical care, treatment was beneficial in short period of time. I appreciate the convenience and wonderful care, and I highly recommend Ms McAnally and this clinic.

05/28/2024

The Meritas Express clinic was convenient, clean, and quick. The Nurse Practitioner was very professional and understanding. My needs were met with exceptional care.

05/21/2024

Was refused care because I could not pay a $20 copay at time of service when I was extremely ill and had to be driven to my appointment and forgot my wallet. The young lady at the front desk was not pleasant at all, very short and snarky. She said she checked with billing to see if I could be seen, literally not even two seconds later she said they refused. I highly doubt she even checked. From the moment I walked in she was not pleasant at all, I arrived early for my appointment and was told I had to wait until my actual scheduled appointment time, again i was extremely ill and had to get a ride and was just trying to seek care sooner than later. I was under the impression that this is a walkin clinic where you can be seen with or without an appointment. There was literally nobody waiting when I arrived so I'm not quite sure why I was told to come back at my appointment time. Anywho the service that I did receive by the front desk will keep me from ever returning to this location!!! This rating is strictly based on my encounter with the front desk and not the provider.

05/02/2024

Vanessa McAnally was very caring when I visited the clinc. She took the time to listen and understand what my symptoms were. She provided great care.

05/02/2024

Was extremely helpful. Went above and beyond would definitely recommend her

04/19/2024

She is friendly and caring. She asked a lot of questions based off my medical information that she reviewed prior to my visit. Highly recommend.

04/15/2024

Very professional and kind. She did an excellent job getting all the necessary information and getting everything scheduled. She was happy to answer any questions and was very knowledgeable

04/03/2024

She was amazing!

03/22/2024

We have had Mrs. McAnally be our provider several times now. She is very thorough. She is also very kind and patient with children. We are always pleased with her service!

03/06/2024

Vanessa is awesome. She treats her patients like family. She is personable, respectful, kind hearted and caring. She ensures all your needs are met prior to your departure and does great follow up calls to ensure you are on the right track for getting better. In addition, I just finally needed to take my kids into see her, she is AMAZING with kiddos! Her receptionist/aide does amazing with them as well. We had a bit of chaos having to sick kiddos and mom in one and she kept them busy, assisted where she could with testing and etc.

03/05/2024

Went in because I had poison ivy and they were very nice and help me to get this problem resolved.

03/04/2024

Nice experience and kept me informed

02/21/2024

Vanessa was wonderful at the Meritas clinic at Hyvee 64th st, KC. I was the last patient of the day and she was not rushed. She took her time and was very thorough. She made sure my medication was filled that night by making extra phone calls to find a pharmacy that was still opened. It was much appreciated. I also received a follow up call to make sure I was doing ok. She is very kind and considerate. Thank you Vanessa !

02/16/2024

02/09/2024

Vanessa was so kind and professional. I felt like she really explored all the possibilities of my illness and sought out a solution. I will hopefully not be sick for a while, but if I ever get sick again, I'll go see her first! Thank you Vanessa!

02/09/2024

Very knowledgeable, friendly, down to earth and professional

02/06/2024

Vanessa was just wonderful. She made sure to take the time and listen to me. I knew some of what was going on but she made sure to read over my patient charts from Meritas to make sure she had all the appropriate information and made sure that she gave me the correct medication for the fact that my husband and I are trying to conceive.

01/29/2024

I don't normally have luck w seeing doctors etc but this was great visit. Thanks for taking care of me. I'm already feeling much better after three days of treatment.

Vanessa was very nice to work with. She determined my problem and advised me of the meds she ordered. Very pleased.

08/15/2023

Ear clogged. She was able to clean the ear canal and could then see I had an ear infection. Prescribed an antibiotic and wanted to give me ear drops too, but I'm allergic to one of the ingredients so did not give me eardrops, which I am grateful for!

Kept my husband out of the hospital like family
