Got second injection today for trigger thumb.First one lasted 3 months. Dr. Jerngan is the best. Takes his time and doesn't try to rush. Makes me feel comfortable, not like, just another patient!! I will continue to see him until issue is resolved.

Dr. Jernigan is very engaging. Listens well and works hard to identify the root cause of the issue. Highly recommend.

Dr Jernigan ranks among the highest of my medical providers. Always explaining options, while never trying to force me into a medical decision. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Jernigan is one of the best doctor's I have ever interacted with in a personal matter and 35 years of pharmaceutical sales. problem I have is with the administration of paperwork involved in order to be seen by Dr jernigan. I have been a patient at Raleigh Orthopaedic for 50 years since I was in high school. Getting an appointment, filling out the paperwork and seeing the doctor in a seamless, timely manner has become so frustrating and complicated that it makes getting through the check in process one of the most frustrating tasks. So many redundant questions even if I had an appointment a couple of months ago. Got kicked out of online appointment process. Why even make if available if it isn't going to work properly. What all the obstacles packed with silly questions that have no relevance to my visit?

It is too early for me to know how successful my surgery was, but I just believe that I am going to be satisfied with the end results. Dr. Jernigan has impeccable bedside manners. He is pleasant, kind and comforting during hand surgery process and I like him as a person of integrity.

Dr Jernigan is the absolute best surgeon. He’s compassionate and cares deeply about his patients. I highly recommend him. He’s done two surgeries on my wrist which was crushed. Can’t imagine any other Dr to care for my needs. He is the best ever!!!

Highly recommended for his expertise, patience and guidance. I had carpal tunnel surgery by him a few years back, and healed it perfectly without complications. Thanks you!
