Dr. McKiernan treated my husband for 3 years. To say he is a true blessing, an angel, is an understatement. Dr. McKiernan doesnt treat only the disease, he treats the patient. He gets to know his patients, he listens, he understands his patients fears, concerns and wishes. My husband could not have been in better hands with anyone else, Dr. McKiernan and his staff are the most caring and compassionate group Ive ever had the pleasure of dealing with.

Dr, McKiernan is a true doctor -- he listens and observes. He is open to patient questions and concerns. His care has been 100 percent. As is his staff.

Dr.James McKiernan and his staff, especially his nurse, Bernadette Pena, are superior medical practitioners. Their care was on a level better than first rate. In fact they should have their own level to which others should aspire. From the first visit, Dr. Mckiernan never rushed, never made it appear that he had other patients to see. He always made me feel as if I was his only patient. He listened to our questions and concerns patiently and answered all questions thoroughly, making sure that we understood his responses. Bernadette followed up after I came home, calling me often to ask about my surgical dressings, my medications, how I felt in general, and any concerns that I had. They are simply tops.
