I have to say I've seen so many Dr's through my last year for so many things and had may times a few horrible care, and myblack of trust for Doctor's. So me saying that my visit with Dr Mckernan was absolutely 💯 such beautiful patient care. He literally to the time to listen, asked questions, made a plan for treatment and did a reasonable follow-up treatment as well as provide me with tools and booklet to take care of my arm, with injection at site. Absolutely awesome Doctor!
