Dr. Edward Jernigan is an amazing physician. He’s an excellent listener and very caring about his patients.
Dr. Jernigan is very professional and has “super” bedside manners. He took an ex-ray of both hands and eased the pain of my right trigger thumb with a steroid injection.
I highly recommend Dr. Jernigan to all; he and his (Nurse, Ericka)and staff are very patient, understanding compassionate, and caring.

I recently had traveled to Greensboro and when I stopped at a Sheetz I stumbled walking back to my car and fell to the ground with significant velocity (having tossed something at the trash and swung back around. Long story short I badly broke my left arm … splitting the upper bone all the way up) between my elbow and shoulder. I has to have emergency surgery there in Greensboro and spent a couple of days in Moses Cone Hospital. My surgeon in Greensboro knew some of the doctors at Raleigh Orthopedic and he specifically referred me to Dr Jernigan at Raleigh Orthopedic to get established and receive medical treatment and follow-up care. I found Dr Jernigan to be extremely kind, compassionate and very familiar with my history (before having met me). I had become established with Raleigh Orthopedic back in January after learning I was in need of a total hip replacement s
Took the time to explain everything and what my options were. Very friendly and thorough.
