Very personable and professional
Great doctor!
He is the most personable doctor I have! He listens and explains things clearly as well.
Very nice guy.
Friendly, attentive, knowledgeable. Offers several options to try for specific injuries, so you are well informed. Allows patients to make decisions on their care based on information provided. My only issue is the speed at which he talks , can make some feel rushed in making decisions. But he’s great otherwise.
Love how he cares and listens!
Excellent bed side manner , and knows what he’s doing
Dr Jernigan is professional with excellent interpersonal skills that eased my anxieties.
Good guy. Very interested in my questions.
Dr J was referred by a younger family member who had a serious hand injury and a very successful repair and recovery. I was not sure what to expect but from check in to leaving the process was efficient, pleasant and timely. Dr J is personable, interested, remembered my relative with a great big smile and a request to pass on his well wishes, but most of all was calming, reassuring….he reviewed my options explaining the pros and cons of each, and suggested starting with a very conservative approach. As a healthcare provider myself and my spouse having had superb hand care in South Florida before our recent relocation to the triangle I can say five stars is well warranted.Thank you 😊
