John McKenna, MD

We are so glad of the care Dr. McKenna has provided us with.

Great guy, and Dr.

He includes you when discussing your care with you. He doesn't just walk in, say you have this, here is a prescription and send you on your way. I have never felt like just a number to him.

very well spoken and simple to understand my path to healing. I should have addressed this situation a long time ago.

He is a very good Dr to my family, I really appreciate him for being there for us.

As I mentioned previously, Dr Mckenna is an excellent General Practitioner. Really a high quality doc. Do everything you can to keep him at the East Side SSM location for life!!

He is wonderful

He understands me.

Professional and spent the time needed to make this patient feel heard

He is a wealth of knowledge about my wellbeing. He doesn’t throw a lot of medical jargon my way without giving me an explanation. I look forward to our visits.

Nice knowledgeable doctor who engages well with questions asked about current health status regarding my medical issues.

He’s the best!

Nice guy

Best dr. Around. Really works hard to keep me going. I have multiple disabilities and chronic problems. Dr. McKenna always has your back knowing not only your problem but also your prescriptions and adjusts them to work in your favor. A++++ physician

Dr. McKenna showed a great deal of interest in my current health and background health of my family. I understand that family health history is helpful in treating current issues.

Keep doing what your doing, because your doing to right. Thanks.

I always leave in a better mood.

Overall amazing. Addresses all questions and needs. Very helpful.

He listens, addresses issues I bring up, which sometimes just need reassurance without minimizing my concerns. He’s knowledgeable and offers solutions if I have a particular health issue or concern.

I like his mannerisms with the patient.He always treats me the right way and gives me the answers where I understand

I have had two medical concerns that were discussed with Dr. McKenna and he gave me excellent advice and suggestions to remedy the problems!

Gracias, doctor John McKenna, por la excelente atención. Fue muy atento, profesional y paciente durante mi visita. De verdad aprecié que se tomara el tiempo para escuchar cada una de mis preocupaciones, actualizar mi información con cuidado y explicarme todo con claridad. Las imágenes y las instrucciones de ejercicios que me dio también fueron de mucha ayuda. Me sentí muy bien atendida, apoyada y muy agradecida por su dedicación y profesionalismo. (English translation: Thank you Doctor John McKenna, for the excellent care. He was very attentive, professional, and patient during my visit.

At once a committed professional and comforting presence.

He is just a wonderful person.

Friendly and professional.

Very caring

everyone great

Visit started out well. He was very personable. As it went on, and not really his fault. I guess, I could tell he knew nothing about me and hadn't read any information about me prior to coming into the room. Issues that were no longer an issue and haven't been for 20 years or more. Although it seemed as though he was listening to me, he would often talk over me after asking me a question after I gave him an answer. Like he was taking over the conversation. He was right. I was wrong. That's just how it felt. It seemed as though we dwelled on a couple issues at the beginning of the visit so I was not able to cover everything that I wanted to cover during this visit as after about 30 to 45 minutes went by. It kind of seemed like I was being rushed out of there. Which I kind of didn't understand because when I made the appointment I explained quite clearly why I wanted to go there. Indicating that I would probably need a longer appointment. All in all I am happy we covered the things that we talked about, but I really wanted to include a few more issues that I've been having for some time.

Dr Mckenna is a great medical provider and I'm fortunate to have him as my primary care physician.

This is the first time I’ve met Dr McKenna and I found him very personable and caring.

Caring, kind, compassionate.

Delightful Dr.

I've been seeing Dr. McKenna for about a decade and he is the best of the best. He understands that in a perfect world, 80% health could be improved with diet and exercise and encourages me to focus on those things. He's also wise enough to know we don't live in a perfect world. I feel like there is a lot of trust between us as well. I read a lot and do a lot of research and introspection before my appointments. When I come in what I'm really looking for is a "health consultant" that guides and directs and help. John provides that and I feel like I'm healthier than I've ever been thanks in part to his care.

Great to work with!!!!

All good

Great person and professional.

Very nice and good job

He has always been very personable and even though he may only see me once a year he really does seem like he remembers me every time. I love that he's always open to dialogue of trying new things if I've seen them online or had friends have success.

Thank you SSM for having this doctor on your staff .

Dr. John McKenna is an excellent doctor who listens to me and is genuinely concerned about my physical and mental health. He provides educational resources to promote healthy choices.

Thank you!

He is popular so when one tries to request him as their main provider on MyChart, it won’t let you and says he is not currently taking new patients.

He listens very well. He is knowledgeable and respectful. I could not ask for a better PCP.

He's a very caring and knowledgeable provider.

He was great. He actually listened to me and talked to me. The annual medicare exam is usually "Hello, how are you? "Good" "Any questions?" "No" Ok continue taking the medication" I feel confident I have a good doctor I can trust.

Very caring

He’s very easy to talk with and is great about sharing suggestions about options for a better healthier lifestyle.

Don’t retire and don’t go anywhere else!!! :) You are greatly appreciated.

Feel very comfortable seeing him , understand what he is saying, respect his concerns

He addressed my concerns with a lab test and examination to rule a potential issue.

Good doctor and nice guy.

John was great and added me to his team as my primary +++

He is great! He always answers my questions, or finds the answers to my questions. He is very easy to talk to and he seems to really care about his patients.

He was personable and reasonably thorough. He did seem to wrap up the visit very quickly toward the end, shook my hand, and left me in the room. I wasn't told whether I should find my way out or should wait for someone to escort me out.

Keep up the good work.

Dr. McKenna has a very friendly positive attitude. He is thorough and explains things well and offers good suggestions. It is obvious he is passionate about his work and cares about his oatients. Thank you so much.

I thank you so much Dr Mckenna. I can never put into words how much I appreciate you. God blessed me with the best doctor I've ever had any interaction with. It only took one appointment for you to change my life and bring me hope. See you soon Doc. Thanks again.

Dr McKenna is energetic and very helpful. He explains things thoroughly so it is easy to understand. Sometimes, though, he goes so fast, I wonder if he has heard me. But if I ask he's very happy to cover the same ground again.

I'm happy with John!
