Dr. James M. McKiernan

The very best! Extraordinary competence and patient care. An exceptional doctor!

the best of the best-spent over an hour with me going over my problem-put me at ease instantly-excellent bedside manner-great man, but very humble-so lucky to have him as my urologist-one of the finest people I have ever met in my long life. Daniel white, Nyack, ny.

Not only is Dr. McKiernan a brilliant doctor and surgeon; he is one of the warmest, most compassionate, kind and caring human beings one could ever hope to encounter. Five stars is way too little for him on the rating scale. He is a true gift to the medical community and I feel so fortunate that he is my urologist!

Dr Mckiernan drew a picture to show my husband & myself where the cancer was , for the first time I understood. He spent time with us & didn't look at his watch. The second time I got sick he treated me like family. He is caring & wants the best for you, regardless of who you are. There are really no words to describe this special man. My urologist calls him , the man with the golden hands. Humble , caring, great surgeon & wonderful bedside manner

Smart, thorough and user friendly. You can't do better!!

The best of you can get him. A Dr. who learns about you the person and not the patient. I would not go to any other Dr. or Hospital.

An amazing person to me and my wife and an equally gifted surgeon. Saved my life at the age of 34...that was 10 years ago...what more can I say.

All I have to say is that no other could compare to the profesionalism, kindness and knowledge of this doctor! Absolutely the best!! Makes patients care his top priority for many reasons, but most of all because this man cares!! he even returns phone calls himself. You are definetly more than a patient, you are a human being with a life to live>

Dr. Mckiernan is just great. My husband just went through bladder removal surgery. He spent time with us going over our options,explaining everything to us. He is a very warm, concerned physician. We had so much confidence in him that it made it easier for both of us facing this proceedure. My husband came home earlier than expected but only after Dr. Mckiernan left a message to have them check it out with me. He is not only extremely competent but is also a very caring ,special person.

Dr. McKiernan initially reviewed my case after disappointing experiences in my local setting. Now three years later, I continue to work with him and the journey continues. Though my own confidence in terms of ultimate health outcome remains an ongoing concern, it seemed when I looked at this listing that an additional review to echo those listed here is in order. Dr. McKiernan is a rare find, particularly in the surgical and urological realms, and one senses it not only directly but from the respect and comments one receives from those who work with him at every level -- receptionists, nursing and technical care, residents, interns, and care coordinators all uniformly nod, laugh, smile, or say something about how well-liked he is, how he is a wonderful doctor, etc. Of course one feels vulnerable when this level of care is needed. He makes me feel like he is personally interested in my well-being, listens to the questions I have about the technical and practical issues of my care, and… goes out of the way. My last phone call from him came on a Friday evening at 7pm of a holiday weekend -- because he knew I needed to hear and took the time. Obviously, I recommend him unreservedly.
