Going to miss her but wish her well.

Dr McKenna was so caring and professional, a good listener and knowledgeable about best course of action.

I wish she wasn't leaving. She's my 3rd primary care provider since 2021. All my docs have been fantastic, but it's really tough having to find a new doc, make the switch, and start over explaining my health history to them. Establishing new care is difficult and stressful.

Dr McKenna will be missed at SSM. She has been my provider for the past 15+ years and I have never had a doctor that made me feel so comfortable and respected as a woman. I wish her all the best in her new clinic- her next patients will be so lucky to have her! I will miss seeing her!

See my earlier comments. I had uncomfortable and worrisome symptoms. Dr. McKenna was reassuring, diagnosed the cause of my symptoms and provided a 10 day plan and instructions, which now, almost one week later, seem to be working.

Great known her for years as my family doctor and very comfortable

Again, I found her to be very nice, easy to talk to. It's a shame she is leaving Dean. Also, it felt as though the appointment had to be abruptly finished before we could discuss one of the main reasons I was there.

I appreciate her as a wonderful person as well as my knowledgable doctor.

I will miss her terribly. I’m hopeful my new PCP will be as good.

Aug 1, 2025
I really enjoy having her as my PCP. She was probably my 2nd most favored MD with all the years that I have been at SSMH. She is friendly, a good listener, and understands my needs.

Jul 29, 2025
As always Dr McKenna really listened to my needs and showed compassion. I couldn't ask for a better provider. I have a great deal of trust in her and she always works with me and involves me in my own care. She is a wonderful human and truly cares for her patients.

Mar 23, 2025
I believe Dr McKenna cares about my well being. I feel safe under her care. I trust my doctor. I've learned to understand how to care for myself. I'm most certain that all of Dr. McKenna's patients feel the same way. I know she pays attention to my condition and understands how to make me better. Being one out of many people that she sees I know that my care can't be the top and most important, but I feel she is all the way into what she does for me each time. I hope she gets good rest. It's important that I live a healthier life. I should remember to say thank you, at the end of my appointments.
