The reason I like Dr Jernigan is because he looks me in my face and he listens to what I have to say. Not into pushing me into surgery when I’m not ready for it unless I really need it. But he has alternative that we can use in the meantime to get to that place that I can do surgery. I’ve been very happy with him and his office staff
Gentle, caring and professional. Expert advice and therapeutics.
Excellent!!!
Dr. Jernigan did both of my carpal tunnel release surgeries this year (February and July 2024), and most recently a thumb laceration repair that did not close properly. He has always been amazing. His bedside manner is top notch, and he listened to my desires and concerns. He always thoroughly explains the pros/cons of procedures, and provides a step by step of what he will do during the procedure. Overall, awesome doctor!!
Dr. Jernigan is the absolute best! He is patient and kind, extremely knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about his patients and their outcomes. I had a minor post op issue and he himself responded immediately when I reached out. The staff at Raleigh Orthopaedic talk about how he’s also a great provider to work with which speaks volumes. I highly recommend him!
Dr. Jernigan is a wonderful physician. He explains my condition thoroughly and is gentle when giving injections. He is the best!!
Exceptional explanation of what was causing pain, options given to correct the issue, kind, compassionate follow through of procedure. Only reason for a 4 is wait time - he apologized 3 times for that.
His presence makes you comfortable and give good advise and options on how the treatment can be done!
My first visit to see Dr. Jernigan, and he was attentive. However, one staff member was extremely rude to another staff member in front of the doctor, another patient and me. While at front desk trying to check-in, I stood in front of the staff associate for three minutes while she moved items around and finished her drink before she greeted me by saying "Last Name". Not hello, but after three minutes last name. Dr. was great, but questionable staff.
Dr. Jernigan is exceptional. He explains in detail the diagnosis, options and procedure. I have complete confidence in his treatment approach.
