Neonatal Doctor Job Description

When a baby is born and it is unhealthy and requires special care, it is often the responsibility of a neonatal doctor to look after the baby. Birth defects or life-threatening illnesses will send a newborn to the neonatal intensive care unit, where a neonatal doctor will treat and monitor the baby, hopefully until it is not in danger any longer. The average salary of a neonatal doctor is $120,000.
