Dr Mckenna is energetic and moves quickly. Sometimes he goes so fast I'm not sure he heard me, but he is always willing to answer questions. He does an excellent job of explaining what is going on.

Dr. McKenna is sincere and thoughtful care giver. Although I only see him once a year typically, he remembers me, my medical history, my families medical history and even asks about my wife by name. His questions make it very clear that he understands and is concerned about the conditions I am managing. His advice is always meaningful. He thoroughly reviews my medications with me to ensure they are still working for me. I am very fortunate to have John McKenna as my doctor.

Dr. McKenna is someone who will allow me to prioritize my health because every appointment is great. He listens, involves me in my care, and he’s very knowledgeable. He’s the kind of doctor that when I’m sick, I’m not reluctant to go to the doctor. He also diagnosed me with shingles and when I needed to laugh about it, he did that with me. This highlights his exceptional bedside manner, he knows what his patients need from him. I truly can’t say enough great things about Dr. McKenna and the staff overall.
