I've just recently changed to Dr McKernam. One of the best decisions of my life. He is professional and so very kind. The area was clean and filled with professional attendants. I've convinced myself that when one of your employees comes on shift they must take a pill filled with professional work ethics, sincere concern about their patients' wellbeing and a big dash of love from our Lord. My family and I consider it to be a blessing to receive care from BS&W.

I've seen Dr McKernan for more than a year now for back pain and he has performed several procedures on my back to relieve my pain. Most recently he performed an intercept, which he performed two weeks ago. So far it has relieved my pain by as much as 30% to 50%. I would recommend Dr McKernan to anyone needing pain relief.

Very kind and caring. Staff also top notch. He accommodated an urgent need I had for pain management. Staff proactively reached out to insurance to get ESI approved and thanks to their diligence I got injection same day as evaluation. Very painful to get up on table but again staff were so kind and caring. Got relief from injection. Yay! Also loved the fact that dr mckernan carefully explained the procedure. This helps me as a patient to be not just fully informed but a part of the "team". Cannot find words sufficient to express how grateful I am and how wonderful this encounter was for me.

Very professional appearance and approach to both my husband and me. One of first things we noted was the doctor had excellent eye contact and spoke with us respectfully (not as though we are a couple of dummies) and was honest with what he can or cannot do for me. Honesty is very important to us, after 30 plus years of treatment for chronic extreme back pain finding an honest pain specialist is a rare and precious find. I look forward to my experience with this physician.

Dr. McKearnon is a very caring, respectful person and a doctor who takes pride in his personal profession. I have been using him for several years due to pain in my spine The relief from the procedure is a gift to my personal life. I can attend to our livestock, mow on a riding lawnmower or drive a tractor mowing pastures. I work in my flower beds and garden. Clean my house and also clean my horse stalls. Without the program he has set up for me I could not complete my lifestyle. I enjoy my life and I am very grateful for knowledge Dr. McKearnon has shared with me. I respect his professionalism and the respect he shows to me. I recommend him often to people.
