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.
