We had an outstanding experience with Dr. McKean. From the very first appointment, he was incredibly thorough and took the time to sit with us, answer every question, and address every concern. He developed such a great rapport with my teenage son, which made a huge difference and made my son feel at-ease throughout his surgery and recovery. My son’s healing process took about six months, and Dr. McKean was with us every step of the way. His consistency, encouragement, and clear communication helped us know exactly what to expect and made the journey so much easier. His office staff deserves mention as well—they were always friendly, helpful, and efficient, making scheduling and follow-ups completely stress-free. We are so grateful for Dr. McKean’s expertise and genuine care. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking truly exceptional orthopedic care.
