Dr. Craig Scibal was born and raised in eastern NC (Morehead City) as the middle of 3 boys. He graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill in 2009 with a Bachelor’s degree in Biology. Following his undergraduate studies, he headed west to the University of Houston College of Optometry and graduated Magna Cum Laude in 2014. While in school, he received numerous clinical scholarships and awards and was nominated to give the commencement speech at graduation.

“I moved back to eastern NC because of my love of living on the coast. I enjoy surfing, drumming, attempting to play sports, live music, sipping craft beer, and going on adventures with my dog, Horatio Fizkin Scibal.”

Dr. Scibal married his wife Cameron on Bald Head Island in April of 2018.  In doing so, Horatio (CEO) also gained a sister, a yellow lab named Addison Lee.  Along with the 2 dogs, Dr. Scibal and Cameron also have 2 kids!  A little boy named Bennett born in 2019 and a little girl named Sydney born in 2021.  You’ll find the Scibal crew constantly out and about exploring Wilmington’s brewery and restaurant scene while also dabbling in live music throughout town.  

Dr. Scibal is super excited to have the opportunity to serve the wonderful people of Leland/Wilmington and can’t wait to develop lasting positive relationships with his patients!

Dr. Neha Dalal is an experienced optometrist with more than 20 years in eye care. She earned her Doctor of Optometry degree from Nova Southeastern University, graduating at the top of her class.

She has practiced in Chicago, Indiana, and North Carolina and is an active member of the American Optometric Association and the North Carolina Optometric Society.

Outside of the office, Dr. Dalal is happiest keeping up with her two daughters and their busy lives on soccer fields and tennis courts. Her family loves to travel and explore new places, with mountain lakes being their favorite destination.
