“Loved my visit with Dr. McKenna....”

Loved my visit with Dr. McKenna. I made this appointment as a second opinion. I felt the previous doctor had rushed me through my appointment and made light of my concerns and questions. Dr. McKenna, however, listened carefully and took my questions and concerns seriously. I felt very much a partner in my care, which was not the case at the previous clinic.

“Really did listen to what I had ...”

Really did listen to what I had to say and took my thoughts seriously and strongly incorporated them into decision making. A handful of things didn't go as planned which was out of everyone's control, but he responded promptly and with grace and took all possible measures to ensure I was okay and treat me safely. We were left with some unconventional and less ideal options, but I felt like I was being treated with confidence and fully trusted his judgement and we ended up with the ideal outcome. Would highly recommend to anyone who needs an OMFS.

Dr. McKenna is an exceptionally good physician. He is an MD and an Oral Surgeon, with a DDS degree. He always goes above and beyond to give me the very best treatments possible. I can count on him giving the best care possible when it is required. He has helped me deal with dental issues that have arisen due to my cancer treatments at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center.
