Dr. Desirae McKee, MD

Several weeks ago I had a cooking accident that caused a blade to be lodged in my finger. I went to Rapides Regional Hospital ER with appliance still in my finger and was very fortunate to have Dr. McKee on rotation call from out of town that week. The treatment was very positive because her procedure to debris, clean and close the wound saved me from probable emergency surgery had it been taken care of by the ER doctor. Because of her expertise as a hand specialist, she was able to make a more educated decision to wrap and allow healing without stitches. The extremely deep cut at this time is showing very little scarring or evident of trauma. Her detail and instructions on caring for the wound were very clear and the follow up appointment was timely and pleasant. May I add that her PA was also very attentive and professional, adding to the entire experience. I feel very fortunate that my accident occurred when she was available that week and received the best care for my finger.

I was having difficulty with my right hand. One visit to Dr. McKee did the trick. They addressed my concern, and I returned for a follow-up two weeks later. All things were much better with my hand. I would highly recommend them - wonderful staff - wonderful medical staff. Thank you!

Dr McKee is amazing. Took Plenty of time with me. Explained the procedure in detail. Was wonderful during my surgery and was very gentle. I have been around medical practice for the past 40 years and she is one of the very best I have encountered. Can't say enough good about her. Two thumbs up!!!

Dr McKee is a miracle worker. She replaced my rt. Index finger knuckle and my left thumb needed a polycarbonate implant. Both hands are now 100%! I’m a carpenter and NEED my hands. The staff is also extremely helpful and accommodating. I’d recommend them to anyone that needs hand work done!

Dr McKee is a wonderful, caring and professional surgeon. She made me fill like I was family she was taking care of. I will definitely recommend her!

I had trigger finger in my right thumb which was very painful. Dr. McKee and her staff provided options and helped me navigate through the process. I ended up having surgery and she explained everything to me and my husband. I would recommend her and her staff to anyone that is having any had issues. They are all very nice and understanding. I have been released now, and will miss seeing them.

I had trigger finger on my right hand , my ring finger was locked in place for almost 3 months. Dr. McKee did surgery and release the tendon, also repaired my pointer and middle fingers. She is awesome and has a great personality. Made sure I understood everything. She is a great doctor and I would recommend her in a second .

all of the staff are knowledgeable and friendly. My surgery for trigger fingers and carpal tunnel was very successful Dr. McKee was wonderful

Dr. McKee is very knowledgeable and personable. Answered all my questions. Spent time explaining whatever I asked. Was not in a rush. I always receive a reminder for my appointment. Her staff is great to work with. I was very impressed with every interaction I had.

Dr. McKee was very accurate on diagnosing my condition and explained in full the process and recovery procedures. She is very personable and answers any and all questions.

Great surgeon, great atmosphere, really a very positive experience!

After numerous years of pain my hands were in bad shape. Dr. McKee determined carpel tunnel. I had surgery on one hand two days ago. So far I give her an A++. Great Dr!! So thankful for this lady

Dr Mckee is a fantastic surgeon I went to see here in September 2021 with both my hands in pain I had been living with the issues for over 4 years, and i also had developed trigger thumb. Dr. Mckee explained to me my issues were because I had carpal tunnel on my right hand and carpal tunnel on my left with trigger thumb. I got scheduled for my first surgery on October 20 and it was instant relief . I had not had any day with out hand pain until I had surgery. It was the best feeling not having the constant pain. So on my follow up I spoke to Dr Mckee at my follow to setup my left hand surgery. I had the second surgery on Dec 8 to repair left hand issues . I appreciate everything the Dr Mckee has done for me .She is the best surgeon I have ever met and if you are having issues please go she her you will not be disappointed she is fantastic and her manor is great .

Absolutely the best professional service I would have expected. The entire staff was effective in communicating what I needed for my carpel tunnel surgery and insurance requirements. Dr McKee is the best I could have expected.

My husband's middle finger on his left hand has been hurting for three years after a tablesaw accident he had 2 previous surgeries he talked to other Dr's they all wanted to cut off his finger Dr mckee said she would give it a try to relieve the pain and she did he has not hurt since the surgery she is a miracle worker she listened to what my husband wanted and respected his wishes she has a big heart

I had over 5 doctors to choose from with all good reviews. So, as I began calling other offices, I asked if they knew the names of the Doctors recommended by my insurance carrier. To my surprise and shock, I kept being told about Dr. McKee and her reputation. Not my expectation but certainly a surprise. Her reviews were just fabulous. Not just the positive but that she was so detailed in her communications and didn't rush her patients. Having had multiple back and a knee surgery, I've come to appreciate doctors that demonstrate their knowledge and share it with the patients. My two hands are completely free of all numbness and tingling, I am back to work, and I've been cared for by a most professional, courteous,, and caring team of experts. So, if you need surgery on your hands, do yourself a favor and look no more than for Dr. McKee. Being a research professor, I am expected to find the best solutions for problems. My solution was found here with Dr. McKee and her capable staff.

Dr McKee is amazing. I had little to no use of my hand until I went to see Dr McKee. She has my hand repaired and I now have full use of it again, I did not think I would ever have it back working again. I am so grateful to Dr McKee and all her staff for all they have done. They are a great team!!

Absolutely horrible. Never saw the doctor, I just the arrogant male NP. If doctor is anything like the NP, stay away at all costs.

Dr McKee is very kind and confident with her treatment plan and with surgery she is confident steady gentle accurate I’m very pleased with my treatment and surgery I would recommend her to anyone who needs hand or wrist issues. Thank you so much for your help

My wife broke her thumb. Dr. McKee treated her injury professionally and compassionately. She inspires confidence that you are getting the very best medical care.
