Kind, knowledgeable and always honest with me!
He is always very helpful and answers all my questions with expertise and kindness.
Dr. Jernigan is awesome!!!
Dr Jernigan was an absolute God sent. The surgical procedure that was performed was originally supposed to take 3 hours but instead Dr Jernigan did what needed to be done to fix my arm and it took 5 hours. The entire surgical team was phenomenal!!! The nurses and Dr Jernigan have personally checked ✅ on my progress and this shows the level of care and compassion they have for their patients. I would refer Dr Jernigan and his team to anyone. They go above and beyond the call of duty. And my progress is going extremely well!!!
Explained treatment options in such a way that even I could understand. Thanks Dr. Jernigan !
