Kenna Elmendorf-Burns, PA-C

During my visit, I explained to Kenna my medical and personal history. After I had done so, she remarked, "Well, I don't know what to tell you. You're screwed in the sense of nature and you're screwed in the sense of nurture. I really wouldn't expect to see much improvement from these issues. The best I can do is give you something to get out of the old fart sack each day." I'm really glad I chose not to listen to this advice and instead find a different provider.

I have been seen by kenna for the past 1.5 years for my MDD and anxiety. She is very down to earth, a great listener, willing to think outside of the box, and will always tell it like it is. She is good at putting things in perspective and recognizes that medication is not a cure all. She always listens to and respects my opinions and questions about treatment and is open to new ideas. I feel that she has given me the opportunity to have control of the route that my treatment has gone - I truly appreciate that. I continue to be seen by kenna despite living oven an hr away from the office and would recommend her to anyone and everyone.

I saw Kenna for years and recently recommend her to a friend who she has also helped a lot. While most docs just wanted to put me on pillar to shut me up she was looking at the picture of what would help the most with the least harmful side effects. She helps use medication as a temporary crutch not a fix all button

Kenna is an excellent PA-C. She works with you to sort out what it is you need, and is willing to talk to you about personal and medical issues with compassion and no nonsense. Getting my meds "dialed in" saved my life, and I have Kenna to thank for that. I highly suggest choosing her for your needs.

Working with Kenna was amazing because of her direct approach. We teamed up to think of the people around me that I would need to let him know I was experimenting to find an ADD/ADHD medicine that would work with my system. Obviously many drugs out there have different side effects and react differently with different people. I tried 3 before I got the right one on the 4th. It takes thinking, planning and a support system. I'm the top producer in my company and things at home are great! James

Kenna Burns was reckless and ignorant with me. She prescribed me Adderall (I don't have ADD) and said,If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. Days later I had a total psychiatric breakdown with psychotic features such as delusions and not sleeping for days. This sent my life into a downward spiral that has lasted for months. After going to a competent psychiatrist in Arizona, I had genetic testing done, which showed that my system is intolerant of Adderall. Don't put your life in her hands.
