Dr. McKennan made my hearing worse than it already was. I went to see the "doctor" about severe hearing loss in hopes to get some hearing aids and was sold a story about how he can improve my hearing by %90 without hearing aids. After a very expensive surgery and a very painful week of recovery I now can hear less than before I saw him. My last visit with him resulted in the "doctor" telling me that I need hearing aids. It has been 5 months since the surgery and I now suffer from daily headaches and numbness on the left side of my head which I fear may be permanent.

Spent 15 years with Meniere's syndrome, bouncing from doctor to doctor before being referred to Dr. McKennan. He understood the progression of my symptoms and was able to offer a non-invasive procedure for treatment. The method not only reduced my attacks, it helped retain the hearing in that one ear. He reviewed my current tests with those from the past, gave me a better understanding on what to expect moving forward. It has been nearly 5 years since my last major episode with Meniere's, I feel better than I ever have since being diagnosed with Meniere's.

Dr. McKennan has performed three procedures for me. A stapes replacement over 15 years ago and two cochlear implant surgeries in the past five years. He is a superb clinician and a very caring person. His skill with procedures inside the ear are remarkable and takes many years to perfect. It is very easy to trust his judgement and recommendations. I owe my hearing to this wonderful physician, whom I will always hold in vrry high regard.

I am a 72 year old man who has worn hearing aids for 35 years. Over the years my hearing degraded to the point where I started exploring cochlear implants. Unfortunately, I did not qualify for an implant until this year. I met with Dr. McKennan and found him to be very personable. He explained the procedure clearly, and in layman's terms, which I appreciated. My surgery went well and I am now adjusted to life with sound again. My wife is very happy with the results. I would highly recommend him. Thank you Dr. McKennan.
