Great listener, wonderful surgeon! You're in great hands with Dr. McKernan. I always knew that any concern I would bring up was met with his equal concern and a satisfying answer. He never rushed me out the door either. Thank you, Dr. McKernan!

Dr McKernan was Great at easing my apprehensions before my surgery for my Tricep rupture and he went out after the surgery while I was coming out of the anesthesia and talked to my wife and made her feel so much better and he earned my Respect for that. Dr McKernan has been Great.
