Great guy, and Dr.

He includes you when discussing your care with you. He doesn't just walk in, say you have this, here is a prescription and send you on your way. I have never felt like just a number to him.

Best dr. Around. Really works hard to keep me going. I have multiple disabilities and chronic problems. Dr. McKenna always has your back knowing not only your problem but also your prescriptions and adjusts them to work in your favor. A++++ physician

He listens, addresses issues I bring up, which sometimes just need reassurance without minimizing my concerns. He’s knowledgeable and offers solutions if I have a particular health issue or concern.
