Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Unfortunately, Dr. McKenna retired. He helped myself and my family immensely. We cannot find an adequate replacement physician and have traveled to LA, Phoenix and SLC. Compassion and technical skills are rare in pain management and we all miss Dr. McKenna.

Dr.Mckenna and his staff have been very professional and helpful fir me his nurse practitioner Marky Hand I see regular isn't great at bed side manner but she is good at ber job and taking care of getting my pain issues taken care of. I never feel like they treat me like a drug seeker or ignore my pain. I have a very high tolerance to pain medication and many issues. Back, knee, shoulder and she always listens and trys to help make me comfortable. Love Elizabeth GREAT NURSE!!!

Totally Incompetent! He disregards my son's severe pains & numbness in legs & feet. My son injured himself twice. Result: one broken vertebrae, 2 ruptured discs. He did not get treatment for a long time, that resulted in another bad disc, nerve pain in legs and feet. He had one back surgery, but surgeon said he need more surgery. Then someone run into the back of my sons car, causing him 2 bulging disc in his neck& numbness in hands. 2 shoulder surgeries. Lots of pains. Do not recommend McKenna

After seeing Dr. McKenna for procedures and after requesting to see him we were unable to see him and were left to the care of the PA only.
