Waited 1 hour and 10 mins just to see the Dr
A plus experience
Everything went smoothly and I am recovering so quickly!
Although he was running behind he answered all my questions and addressed my concerns
Very professional and thoroughly explained treatment options.
Very easy to talk with.
Addressed the issue quickly and offered solutions for down the road from now. Thankful he was available for an appointment.
I was pleasantly surprised to find Dr. Jernigan to be personable, relaxed, and attentive. I appreciate the way he explained his assessment and discussed options for treatment. I am always apprehensive about seeing a new provider (and generally avoid male practitioners when possible) because of negative past experiences, so I am especially appreciative when I see providers who go above and beyond to be collaborative and personable.
Great caring doctor. I’d definitely recommend him to others,.
Dr. Jernigan put together my shattered elbow flawlessly. My elbow is recovering ahead of schedule thanks to his skills and follow up care.
