"Dr. McKernan is a kind, compassionate surgeon who truly understands addiction to food. He has a rye sense of humor and always has a smile for patients. He is a straight shooter and makes his expectations clear before proceeding with surgery. While he does RNY and Lap-band he prefers all laparoscopic procedures. He has a great aftercare support group led my the nutritionist and the psychologist. The office staff here is tops. Kelly, who works with insurance is a real fighter for patients and gets things done quickly. I have already recommended this surgeon to many friends. The only down side I can think of is that Dr. McKernan is not a "hand-holder". He expects you to follow the rules and when you don't, he doesn't have much to say to you."
