Dr Jernigan was so attentive and concerned, not only with my hand, but also my feelings and anxiety about the procedure. He went above and beyond to make me feel like I was his only patient.
Dr. Jernigan is absolutely wonderful. I’ve been his patient for couple of years & have had surgeries. My overall experience with him & his staff is excellent:
