Dr Kearney was personable, calm and explained everything as he worked on my shoulder. The procedure was quick and after he demonstrated exercises that I should do. This was helpful because reading “how to” is less effective than seeing exercises done. The staff on arrival was efficient and friendly, and calm which was reassuring during my procedure.
Very caring dr
Always listens and takes the time with me. He is professional and makes me most comfortable.
Thoughtful, takes time to explain and very patient. He continues to help me with my complicated body/bone issues. Marvelous doctor.
Good information and listener
He explained everything perfectly. He listened and understood the exact nature of the problem.
We love John! He takes care of us!
All around knowledgeable and extremely personal to make sure you understand all aspects of the procedure and healing.
Saw Dr. Kearney within 15 mins of apt time. He seemed knowledgeable about my issue and I appreciated his point of view. He offered potential solutions, but also recommended I take a wait and see approach.
Outstanding doc. He takes the time to explain and make me feel comfortable about my health and options. Could not be more pleased
